Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
beverlychase-27805 Rec is one of the better examples of found footage horror. Taking place in a confined building we are shown the film through the perspective of a television reporter and her cameraman- a clever idea indeed. The direction is very good and the acting is uniformly excellent. There is a possibility of bad acting derailing a good film but it isn't so here. If you are a fan of found footage then REC from Spain is a worthy film. This started a franchise and even had an American remake.
solun-1 I was hoping for a good horror flick but were disappointed. Fortunately, because of all the good reviews, it is probably just me and you will enjoy this anyway. Good for you. But even though I watched home alone, in the dark of the night as I usually do with horror films, I was not scared. There were very few moments of light suspense. The camera is horrid even for a POV film. The 1998 Blair Witch has ecstatic camera work compared to this. Almost all the actors and especially the main characters are unbearably bad in their roles. They do not feel genuine and their constant shouting and screaming it annoying and out of place in most of the scenes. I just wished they would just die as soon as possilble so I could focus on the suspense build up but that was in vain - until the very last second of the movie, there is constant screaming and unpleasant voice of the main character. Most of the deaths are the most predictable clichés and characters behaving in seriously dumb ways. It felt like watching just a bunch of people with dementia. There was not a single calm person in the movie, nobody who could bring in a minute of silence or just actually think about the situation. As I said, everyone seems to be enjoying this film. So go ahead and see for yourself.
greekgod41 If you like films shot with a shaky camera, then be my guest. This nauseating pile of feces looked like it was filmed with a spastic camera on it's 10,000th coffee hit. I mean seriously, even in calm moments on a flat surface the camera still shakes Enough of this cheap, amateur, retarded filming technique OK, we're so over it Not being able to see anything happen on the screen because of the annoying camera shaking made this film literally unwatchable The main actress just screamed through the entire film, and when she wasn't screaming, she was shouting at people....a thoroughly unlikable characterDon't pay to see this garbage, seriously, save yourself your time and money
vosnescis Awful.My head was filled with many questions throughout the movie. How do I describe it? Let's say we all are suddenly convinced Jimmy is a zombie, and Jimmy has been an okay guy for the last while. And as we stare at Jimmy, all of a sudden comes this instant conversion. Okay, it can happen. But it seems a little deliberately placed, and such actions like this throughout the movie really break the immersion. Oh, and if Jimmy ran off screaming into a place, and you became aware that there were more infectious monsters than just Jimmy, would you go after him with a needle? Does that seem reasonable? And if Alfred is dumb enough to stand next to a zombie inside its cage, that's possible too; maybe someone is that dumb. Yes, "that's possible", "sure, i guess, if ..." -- great movie when you're fiddling with plausibility the whole time.How I remember the movie: A pointless beginning (follows any news reporter movie: watch a reporter hyped about something for a large chunk of time, get that "persona" rubbed on you before they descend into peril), an almost constant screaming follows, speckled throughout with immersion-breaking moments of questionable plausibility, and you have a thorough waste of time and a childish invention.And I didn't realize that a creature, let's call it an angry dog (for example), would want to drag me off into another room instead of just bite me to death. That was just another immersion-breaking moment, seeing something I'm accustomed to believing is a barbaric nature, decide it wants to drag me away. I guess the director called out to it and said, "No, that isn't a way to finish the movie: Doesn't look so profound! Re-do!"
