Sure, it makes you jump in your seat a couple of times, but I couldn't care less for the characters.

Intense, chaotic and frenetic (though relying largely on jump-scares)

An standard, solid zombie flick vastly elevated by its original screenwriting concept and visual style.

the idea is not so much innovative (group of people killed by sinister force or beings one by one, leaving only their filmed records) and very popular like in the past but this claustrophobic movie really stuns you and you think you enjoyed it when movie ends. we should approve that the spanish directors know the best about this genre at the present time. I also want to mention about promotion of film. Watch the trailer on youtube if u didnt.

Utterly terrifying if you ask me; I usually can't stop laughing during horror flicks, but this one was really effective. I'll even say the following: it's been by far THE scariest film I've ever seen, ever !!! I dare any horror horror film lover not to get scared. If you hate these kind of films, I would really stay away from this one...

8/9/9 - A fun, original and genuinely scary addition to the undead canon. The one-camera setting is really well used with all the possibilities taken advantage of while remaining ungimmicky. The pacing is good and suspense and belief are maintained throughout. The only problem is that its hard to care about the characters - another 20 minutes or so, split between the fire station and the building before the attacks would go well. And the music over the end credits is awful.

Holy nightmares, thank god I didn't see this late at night. Grating characters, plenty of dumbass dialogue, but jesus, this thing is scary. And claustrophobic. That final stand in the dark is very, very uncomfortable to watch. Great job.

Another great zombie movie. This film totally delivered ... we saw it in an open air theater at night, which was the perfect atmosphere (apart from the stairwell of a creepy apartment building).

Interesting premise, terribly disappointing execution.

Not very original, but it really gives some scares. The production is interesting and the main actress, surprisingly good.

One of the best horror movies of all time. Perfectly paced, with a dull beginning that lulls you perfectly into a sense of realism that only proves to heighten the scares later.

the last 10 minutes... simply blood chilling.

Awesome! Don't let the slow start fool you; this film will have you on the edge of your seat by the end!

Captures the chaos and intensity other first-person films like Cloverfield could only attempt.

On one hand Quarantine felt better all throughout, on the other hand the girl zombie in the end is one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a zombie movie in a long time. Though Quarantine is essentially almost the same film, both are equally good for different reasons.

Scary, tense movie, highly recommended. My only complaint is that the final scenes present you with really unnecessary, convoluted information.

A horror film that doesn't fall apart in the last act; it just cranks it up to 11. REC is the only film I can think of (though I didn't watch it this way) where viewing a poor quality upload on your computer might enhance the experience. In the dark, of course.

Begins by introducing itself as yet another found footage gimmick and ends with the de rigeur nihilistic-smash-cut-to-black-zombie-movie-ending (complete with utterly dire metal song), but in between is a reasonably compelling horror show that breaks no new ground yet manages to sustain interest throughout.

Suspenseful and believable, [REC] should be an enjoyable movie for anybody who's a fan of the personally-recorded type shooting.

This > Paranormal Activity. (:

Beginning of the movie is pretty dull and you're waiting for the action to start. Problem is that when shit hits the fan people just start acting like idiots and run around screaming in the dark. Not my cup of tea. At some parts tension is build up really well, like in the last scene, but they manage to fuck it up with some cheap scares.

I have to admit this is pretty well done, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere and some serious tension. It devolves into a bunch of hysterical screaming, though, and that just isn't something I want to watch. Even if the panic is justified I'd rather watch characters who at least try to be resourceful and keep it together. Outside of that the acting was pretty decent and the movie as a whole had some merit.

goede film. nadeel het is spaansgesproken

no-idea b-film w/ semi-eccentric look

It's a really fun movie, but not nearly as scary as people make it out to be. In fact, I didn't find it scary at all. It has its creepy moments, though, and it does get intense in parts. This is close to what the Resident Evil films should've been.
