[REC] follows late-night television reporter, Ángela Vidal, through the lens of her cameraman, Pablo. They cover the night shift at a local fire station in Barcelona and, one evening, the duo follow firefighters who have received a call for help from a nearby apartment building. When they arrive, they find the apartment's residents huddled in the lobby. They go upstairs to look for the distressed caller. What follows is a night that none of them will ever forget.
Recipient of countless awards, from film festivals around the world (and inspiration for the upcoming American remake, Quarantine), [REC] comes to Edmonton with a very well-deserved reputation as one of the scariest films in years. It is 80 minutes of sheer, unrelenting suspense, and it’s a film that has put international audiences through the wringer! If that sounds like just the kind of late-night fun you’re looking for, well look no further – [REC] is finally here.
You’ve heard the rumours, now see it for yourself… if you dare. Just be sure to bring someone to hold on to.
WINNER: Audience Award, Best Director, Best Actress, 2007 Sitges International Film Festival
