[rec]


A television reporter and cameraman are locked inside an apartment building in this terrifying shaky-cam horror film. Shot in that JJ Abrams/found footage/reality style; the tension builds throughout from the deliberately obscured action, the effective lighting, and the false startles. There are deep focus shots down darkened hallways, shots through barely cracked windows, and lots of screaming and running and bleeding and biting. A completely effective effort, and I jumped several times. I watched [rec] on Crackle in a dubbed version and I would rather have seen it in the original Spanish with subtitles, but beggars can't be choosers. Here's a trailer, but the less you know about it the better:
