I just saw this movie last night and I don't know why I waited so long. Suffice to say that it is my new favourite film of all time. The suspense is simply awesome, the camera occasionally focuses on the 'corpses'... sometimes they get up, and some times they don't...
Great acting throughout- although a lot was during the scenes when not even the actors knew what was going to happen (ala the Blair Witch Project). Trust me, you can literally feel the terror. Also worth mentioning are the virus's victims, they're not quite zombies but are damn scary! This is one of this film's beauty's, it is so believable. My advice to everyone is to make this your priority movie. In an age where 'horror' means a bunch of students getting hacked apart by a mad axeman, a movie like Rec is such a welcome change.
Watch it. You will not be disappointed.

In no way is this your typical B-Movie. I turned it on thinking "Oh great, vampires in space. This should be good for a laugh!". Actually though I thought that the plot was great and, although predictable, was engaging throughout. You just can't change the channel. The producers really made the most out of their budget. It was only 1.7 million, but it looks at least three times that. Natassia Malthe is smokin' hot and the acting from both her and Dominic Zamprogna is excellent. The film has some pretty interesting concepts (vampiric mind sex anyone?) and the use of the many different vampire species pulls the plot along nicely. The vampires themselves were admittedly a bit shaky and didn't really look the part, with the notable exception of Natassia.
So overall, I would rate this movie an 8/10. Its fun and engaging, and can easily go toe-to-toe with most blockbuster vampire/sci-fi movies.
