Mei Have we tired of the same antics every time a movie about moving dead bodies is on? This movie feel like it brought back all the worse things: a uselessly loud and forever in panic mode main character who will pull every leg available who you wish she is the first to go; a plot which you can understand even without concentration - cause how little there is; everything happens in the dark because it's found-tape. After watching, the only thing that is left of me is heachache from the main character constant screaming and heavy breathing. An hour wasted. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 15 years later and this is still a very good found footage horror flick by director John Erick Dowdle It’s actually a remake of a Spanish film with essentially the same premise Jennifer Carpenter stars as news reporter Angela Vidal doing a story on the city’s fire department in Los Angeles A reality tv program it starts out then they het a distress call Angela and the fire fighters respond to it hoping to get something juicy but when they arrive at an apartment residence the real horror begins when they discover one of them is infected with a deadly virus; the victims become somewhat rabid and savage losing all human instincts except to feed and kill Angela and the others are then locked in the building by the CDC even warned to not escape lest they face being shot on sight The film is intense as it breezes by in under 89 min full of scares, jolts, blood, and decent thrills The handheld camera movement serves it very well making you feel like you’re trapped with these people The movie if you think about it is actually way more disturbing given the pandemic we’ve just been through; getting attacked by something unknown and seeing the results of it unfold Anyone of us can be off put by chaos ensuing, not knowing what to do, and having to face harsh intervention by our own government People need to see the truth, how much is being covered up by the authorities, is quarantining people off the safest route or more dangerous having us turn on each other? Probably the most scary thing is the government coming in promising to help you but in reality they’re trying to kill you to contain this virus Good acting, strong atmosphere, and some good frights make this found footage flick a scary experience by Dowdle The only complaint i had was the ending; they give some backstory via newspaper articles but none of it is thoroughly explored It just cuts to the credits so quick without any resolution Yet you can feel that modern post 9/11 domestic terror being metaphorical and a literal genocidal rat race to make it out alive Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Marlo A This one was awesome! Not as good as the original REC but the remake was still a blast! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Justin T Assessing the quality of the picture is hard, it is good but it looks more like a film than digital video though and it shakes too much. I don't think that a camera operator working in news would make this. It is shot (deliberately) too badly. Lighting is excellent as is the sound, again which isn't believable but you have to let it go. Visual effects are simple and effective. Ok ok this is a remake of [rec] (2007) so not that original but for me this does it so much better. I like the creativity in creating a horror movie with a different vibe. It is like an intense haunted house ride with monsters jumping out all the time. It is so well done. I'm notching it down on creativity as it is almost a direct remake. This is really intense. I prefer it to the original because it is in English and has some polish. They also tweaked the little bits that weren't perfect to make this the best it can be, for example the pacing. It is scary in places but really the star is the intensity. It never lets you have a rest and bombards you with terror. This grew on me to become a ‘modern' horror classic. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Valok P An obvious replica of [REC] without any of the scares or brains behind what made it incredible to begin with.
