"scary"? Erm, where??
This film is one of the worst films i've had the misfortune to watch. I bought into the whole 'most scary film in a long time' BS but what i saw was just laughable.
The acting's poor, the characters are annoying and there are just no scary moments in it. NONE. As much as everyone slags off The Blair Witch Project i think it's far better than this.
If you want a scary film rent Switchblade Romance. Far,far better than this garbage!
And the US version 'Quarentine' looks scene by scene the same. It'll just have more annoying characters. -

Another great Spanish language horror
Spanish language cinema does it again and proves that it is starting to challenge Eastern horror for the their mantle.
REC isn't dazzlingly original (it borrows from Blair Witch and Cloverfield in shooting style, from 28 Days Later for the creatures) but it is extremely well done. It captures the sense of something happening to people without knowing quite what and makes perfect use of the set pieces available.
It did disappoint and go downhill with the over-used 'neatly assembled collection of newspaper clippings left behind to explain everything neatly' routine however it made it for all that with the final sequence and a truly terrifying and original creature.

It opens beautifully: a car stalled at a traffic light that’s showing green. The cars behind honking in frustration. Pedestrians glancing to gauge the severity of the problem – then taking a harder look, because this doesn’t seem to be an automotive malfunction, the driver appears to be in some distress. A passer-by goes up to him to see if he can help (he’s played the Canadian actor Don McKellar, who also adapted Nobel prizewinner Jose Saramago’s novel for the... Read more
