What to Know

Critics Consensus

Plunging viewers into the nightmarish hellscape of an apartment complex under siege, [Rec] proves that found footage can still be used as an effective delivery mechanism for sparse, economic horror.

The Spanish horror movie Rec promises, in the first act at least, to be a profoundly disturbing experience. Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian 09/29/2015

Midway through, the plot blows a gasket and the camerawork turns altogether crazed, joggling us about in the semi-darkness while the soundtrack rings to distorted screams. Go to Full Review Jamie Russell BBC.com 04/15/2008

[Rec] will definitely jangle the nerves. But it's a movie that's unlikely to last in the memory. Go to Full Review Alan Jones Radio Times Oct 30

Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza pool their wayward cult horror talents to work the Blair Witch faux documentary aesthetic - with added 28 Days Later-style rage victims - to urgent perfection. Go to Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine 02/29/2024

Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza manage to thrill us in 80 minutes with a simple story and an already used “documentary” style, but still so powerful... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/18/2023
3/4

Luka R @Lukaradumilo87 Jan 4 It was great, serious, scary but just a little bit boring a little bit See more Aadil M Dec 28 Outstanding horror! Very, very scary film! See more pepsita Dec 26 It was incredible, loved the acting! The ending was a bit strange, but it definitely spooked me. See more Angelina T @AMMT101 Dec 22 I loved it. This found footage film is what made me love found footage films. Though a bit short to my liking, the cinematics and storyline of the movie make it well-made. See more Kelvin K Nov 12 What a movie just insane See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 4 I hate found footage films, but I was willing to give this one a try. I actually found it to be a really good zombie movie. But I think I speak for everyone by saying that it was too short. See more Read all reviews
