talk of REC is not easy if you want to make a thorough analysis. Not because it is full of nuances and double meanings hidden somewhere, but because in addition to the images given to us, primary hyper linked to a plot, there is no other.
can be summed up in two lines say it all: a building in Barcelona where an epidemic zombesca begins to infect the inhabitants. TV journalists, residents, firefighters and police officers there are on hold for quarantine reasons. The camera is always on in a "rec", indeed. Following
style reality show that led to the glories minimalist works like Blair Witch Project, the commission Filmax (I bet) to Jaume Balaguer and Paco Plaza this movie trying to beat the hot iron (?) Of this particular style inaugurated by our first and foremost Cannibal Holocaust Ruggero Deodato signed.
costs are reduced because of the minimal location, the room is always at hand and the sound in real time. For those who suffer from seasickness as the film is to be avoided for those with coronary artery disease, since the Rec is awesome work, essentially empty, as it is with regard to originality, but sticks to the chair from start to finish. Being such a reality, we live according to the film and see through the eye of the camera in real time so no adjustments to the sound that explodes suddenly saturating the audio channel. Although the images often become blurred, the camera will also fall to the ground, but Angela, a young journalist played by Manuela Velasco, still want to scoop that would make it famous and before the madness of the events in which it does not think involucrata minimally to the quality of the shooting, but only that as far as possible be registered. If some obvious tribute to Blair Which Project can not escape the feeling deja vu with the remake of Dawn Of The Dead by Zack Snyder are all too obvious, almost too much in the eyes of an observer. Rec
for this product is not to trash, rather, keeps its promises, that scare and nothing more. The level of tension rises in an escalation of structure similar to that of a video game to the "level" at the end ..
