REC: Be very afraid, Señor
The video diary aesthetic has already been tried in both Horror (The Blair Witch Project) and Creature Feature (Cloverfield) genres. Spanish director Jaume Balagueró thought he'd take his own stab at the First Person Horror movie with a film which many are already describing as the most terrifying movie ever made.
[REC] tells the story of a young TV reporter and her cameraman who are taping a news item, when things take a turn for the profoundly creepy. The situation only worsens as they realise that they are trapped in a building with someone, or something, very dangerous. Their desire to escape conflicts with their compulsion to document the escalating horror of their situation The fact that the movie's in Spanish doesn't matter too much. Screams are the same in any language. [REC] will be released in cinemas nationwide on April 11, 2008.
