I believe the true quality of the film lies in its ability to cleverly use the history of the genre and the bare minimal of resources to its maximum potential and, unlike Cloverfield, there's little room to doubt the reasons for the cameraman to continue filming and this is (like Blair Witch) due to the fact it's his job. It is also evident from the plot and the methods employed that the film is very low budget, but this does not do it any harm, instead it complements the narrative and increases the films appeal. It's true that the plot is minimal and there are loose ends, but then the vast majority of horror films often suffer from these traits, and sometimes purposefully, but with REC it doesn't make the film any less enjoyable. It should be noted that clichés aren't always a bad thing and when put to good use can give the audience exactly what they came to see. The film is co-directed by Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza and they have clearly dipped into the bucket of clichés with REC, but in doing so they have created something that is both fresh and reinvigorating. Granted, if we are subjected to a recent flurry of films all using similar methods then yes, it deserves further scrutiny and what usually surfaces is that greedy studios are exploiting market trends. It seems strange to me that once a new technique is discovered or employed and put to use regularly, people and critics complain especially when it works. The method that has been employed in REC is, I believe, a method that is now firmly embedded in the medley of cinematic processes that a film-maker may chose to exert. Cloverfield and the forth coming Diary of The Dead).
REC FULL MOVIE FULL
It is the film that I wanted to see when I queued up in the rain, 10 years ago full of hype, anticipation and adolescent excitement.ĭespite REC being a better film than The Blair Witch Project some critics have attacked it for employing such a tired technique that has been used too much in recent films (i.e. Although The Blair Witch Project was a ground breaking film, given its illustrious marketing campaign and widespread fooling of audiences, if the two are to be judged purely on their viewing merits then REC is by far the superior if anything REC is the film that the Blair Witch should have been. Comparatively REC is also a horror, low budget, sticks to a female lead and has an ending that is very similar. Undoubtedly and unsurprisingly REC will be measured by the film The Blair Witch Project, especially given its plot and the manner in which the film plays out. As the film progresses the crew are lucky enough to accompany the fireman on a call out to a local apartment building.
REC FULL MOVIE TV
In brief, REC is a horror film that begins with the crew of a TV show, called While You Sleep, making a documentary about firemen. It is a technique in which the person behind the camera is a character that is integral to the plot, narrative and story of the film.
REC is a film that utilises the POV (Point of View) camera technique for the entirety of its duration.
