And for those who think this is some kind of Cloverfield rip-off or cash-in, i’m gonna need you to do 2 things.

1) Shut the Fuck Up

2) Do your homework

REC predated cloverfield by OVER a year, probably closer to 2 when you factor in production, writing the script and so on. Cloverfield was a good movie, I enjoyed it because its a big popcorn fun monster movie with a few descent scares.

REC though, is a experiment in fear that doesn’t fail. Lovable characters, the most realistic acting and setting and camerawork I’ve ever seen, especially in a small budget no-name film like REC, and tons of ingenuity and heart.

As Ronnie said, if you like to think of yourself as a hard-ass, someone’s who’s seen it all, then turn off the lights, wait until about 2 am when everything around you is super quiet, and watch this movie with the volume up.

Then tell me this is just some cash-in on the hand held camera fetish everyone’s going through, or that this isn’t a brilliant horror movie that deserves to be right up there with Halloween, Alien, and the rest of horror’s upper echelon.
