REC is not a film that attempts depth. Thank goodness. It's a straightforward, good old fashioned scary ride.
While zombie movies are nothing new and Blair Witch rip-offs are ten a penny, REC compensates by being the only enclosed space zombie movie I've seen. A small group of people are trapped in an old apartment block with two zombies roaming around somewhere on the upper floors.
Not so bad. But as the survivors are infected, two becomes three... three becomes four... You get the idea.
REC is an adrenalin rush of a film. It's not the sort of disturbing horror movie to give you nightmares, but by god you'll need a stiff drink afterward. And preferably during.
