[REC]

As usual I neglected to plan ahead to see my Fantastic Fest prequels via Netflix. I expected to find only the U.S. remake Quarantine at the local Blockbuster, but to my surprise they had not just one but two copies of [REC].

This is a delightful low-budget shakey-cam survival horror flick. I quite recommend it in its original version and native tongue, as the actual low-quality tape (instead of the via-special-effects fake stuff that Hollywood would use) and low-budget effects leave room for the imagination to take over.

Next week, we'll have to see how much I like the convoluted plot they'll have to use to make a sequel...
