Movie - REC (2007)

Sunday, 14 December 2008

The original movie of Quarantine in Spanish. Another zombie movie but somewhat better. Its dark, chilling and downright terrifying - everything a horror film should be except that the Japanese and Korean horror shows are way better. **PS: Those with weak stomach (cross-motion sickness) like me, please refrain from watching or you may puke halfway through the show due to the constant moving images...

The film begins withManuela Velasco, the host of a documentary TV series 'While You're Asleep', and her cameraman Pablo Rosso following a group of Barcelona firefighters during their nightly routine. They interview the fire chief, join the men in their dinner, and nothing much happens until they receive a call that an old lady is trapped in her apartment. After meeting up with police at the scene, they force themselves into the apartment to find a crazed elderly woman, screaming and covered in blood. While trying to calm her down, one of the police officers is viciously attacked by the woman, and is brought downstairs with the hopes of getting an ambulance. The group soon realizes that the building has been quarantined because of a BNC (Biological/Nuclear/Chemical) hazard, and will remain this way until a health inspector can get inside and give the all clear. As the group tends to the wounded police officer, another person is violently attacked, and soon everyone is fighting for their survival as the virus spreads from person to person, turning the infected into violent, enraged killers.(Infos abstracted from here)
