REC


REC (or ·REC) is a Spanish film co-written and co-directed by Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza. It was released in Spain in November 2007, and instantly became a critical and commercial success.

Plot.  The movie is fully in Spanish language and was filmed using camerawork. It follows a television reporter, Angela Vidal, and her cameraman, Pablo, who cover the night shift of a local fire station in Barcelona.

It begins with shots of Angela and Pablo documenting the activities of local firefighters. Then the fire station receives a call about an old woman who is trapped in her apartment. The group immediately responds and Angela and Pablo go with them. When they arrive at the area, the woman suddenly becomes aggressive and bites a policeman. She escapes and hides in one of the rooms. Meanwhile, the terrified residents in the building gather in the entrance hall as the entire building was sealed off and quarantined.

Later, the old woman bites another firefighter who plummets through the stairway to the lobby floor. The camera crew, police and remaining firefighter search for the old woman. She appears again, still fierce, and when she begins to attack them, she is shot. Afterwards, Angela interviews a little girl who appears to be sick with tonsillitis.
