...add three times the purity!!
As a filmmaker, I think of different ideas to create an ultimate idea of the unthinkable.
What M.Night does with UNBREAKABLE is superb, though really dragged out. A story of a classic belief is brought into reality, as Bruce Willis portrays your average Joe who is brought into belief that he is a superhero, enthused by a man who loves his comic-books(Samuel Jackson). The films expertise story, casting and dialog make for an excellent film alone, but is drowned by it's narrow, dark-lighting.
A simple mistake however is sliced into a brilliant array of character and story-telling, being sure to add to a scene's clarity which inhabits the film's true perspective.
If you want a REAL film to watch, watch it right and enjoy! This is a classic example of how film should truly look and work! Not for the mentally inept!
With that note, be sure to really enjoy UNBREAKABLE for what it is, a mindful thriller which has an excellent cast of things to come...
7-10

So many have commented positively on this little gem, it's hard to agree with someone, but I will anyway.
I LOVED this film. It has everything a horror fan could love. From story, terror, to characters, REC delivers.
I'll start with a general summary; -A news reporter and her loyal cameraman follow a fire-crew into the bowers of an infested apartment without notice. The infestation consists of zombie-esqe victims, attacking any and all for sustenance. Along with the fire crew, police officials and apartment tenants, the reporter and firemen fight against up unsurmountable odds to survive the night.
As I watched this film, keep in mind I watched in subtitles. I will say in response however, I don't care. This film was superb in every dimension and I was no less than impressed.
From a filmographers point-of-view, this was to become a basic run-of-the-mill POV zombie-flick, but beat the sub-standard and became an instant(soon to come, I promise) cult-classic.
The story itself is very interesting, providing it's beginning which consist's of the reporter and her cameraman getting to know the fire department. It then proceed's with a terror-filled vision into the apartment and never seems to let down EXCEPT to allow time for character-development and suspense-building.
The main characters of Angela Vidal(Manuela Velasco) and Manu(Ferran Terraza) give nothing but genuine performance. Velasco makes you BELIEVE this reporter is out for NOTHING but the Truth, and follows through with that of her anonymous cameraman Pablo. The firefighter Manu(Terraza) also gives his excellent dramatic effect to add on as the accident-prone hero.
REC definitely adds the scares, confidence and bravado of any of the US's latest mainstream P-O-V(point of view) horror films! Definitely check-worthy!

Saw it at the Durham RVC Center last night.
Definitely an improvement from LAND. It had some great characters including (My personal fav) a deaf Amish laborer, a swash-buckling alcoholic college professor, black radicalists, and even some of the stupid teens(namely Tony). If you can get a chance to see this film, please do. It's great to see Romero stepping back into the independent light and shine so well.
On the down side, the films pacing was rather annoying as was the constant narration. Personally, I thought bringing the beginning of the plague to modern day times was also pointless, but keep in mind that I am a Romero fan of my own accord. CGI was a major factor to several great scenes, but didn't drown the films quality as much as you'd expect. Still bloody, still violent. Definite plus! All in all, DIARY is definitely a great addition to the DEADOLOGY, and is on its way to being one of the best indie films I've ever seen. Great job George! -w.a.m.woodfin
