[●REC]

A TV reporter and her cameraman cover

their nightshift at a fire station for their late show.
Somethings happen in an apartment nearby, fire alert.

And so, they follow the firemen to enter the building.
But once they get in, military seal off the building.

Well, next movie I wana recommend, is a 2007 Spanish horror film called
~[●REC]~

This is the original movie that has been remade by Hollywood entitled "Quarantine".
and I say....
~Most frightening cinematic experience ever~

I don't really know how to write a review for the movie of these two genre....
~cartoon, horror~

The story is very simple and not fresh.
Basically it's all about virus infection and zombie.

But, one main thing that distinguish [●REC] with other zombie movies is the shaky camerawork.
Shaky cam is a cinematography technique that is used to create unbalance and unstable image.
The camera movement and zoom are purposely make like an amateur's work.
To make it simple, audience watch the movie from the camera point-of-view.

You can see this technique in Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield....
it used "fake docu handheld" style to shoot the movie.
But personally, I prefer [●REC]

What so interesting about [●REC], is the scenario and incidents that happen inside the building.
All those characters are well-planned....their personalities,their position, their destiny.....

There are some scenes that is absolutely scary and terrifying.
You will see, and you will know....

I like the scene where the reporter and cameraman are trapped inside the room.
All the zombie waits to attack them outside the room.

But there is another "semi-zombie" waiting to get "activated" inside the toilet of the room.
Their safe area is getting smaller and smaller, how brilliant is this!!!

Everything you can see, is all part of the plan.
Clever, very clever!!!

They success to create unpredictable scenario in a predictable story....
I assure you, you will like the atmosphere, the feeling.
You can really experience it!!!

Not much of editing, visual efffects and conversation.
No music used at all.

Screaming,chaos,running,shouting.
The main actress did a fantastic job to carry audiences emotion!

I think this movie is now showing on Malaysia cinema.
(I'm not sure what takes it so long to arrive our big screen)

"Quarantine" was shown on cinema last December if I'm not mistaken.
I did not watch it, and I don't know is it good or not.

But for [●REC],
I think it is the most scary and terrifying movie in recent years!!!
