Rec
(Spain, 2007, 78 minutes)
A TV crew tagging along a firefighter's run-of-the-mill night shift finds itself trapped inside a quarantined building at the centre of some sort of viral outbreak. Dullish horror thriller whose one good idea (the action is entirely seen through the cameraman's lens) is wasted on perfunctory handling and scripting.
