10 Scariest Horror Movie Endings Of All Time
3. [REC]
When you go into a found footage horror movie, you know you're going to end up with all the main characters dead one way or another. There's got to be some way that the footage becomes 'found', after all, and a slew of no-name actors and realistic camera work goes the extra lengths to reinforce this. Of course, one of the most famous and best examples of this kind of movie is the Spanish film [REC], in which a TV crew become locked in a building as a deadly zombie virus breaks out.
Only, this is a zombie virus with a difference, as it originates from a Vatican agent who was attempting to distil demonic possession into a medical disease. Instead of coming away with firm results, he accidentally transformed his findings into a virus that has taken over the local residents.
The lead camera woman discovers the patient zero in the last moments of the movie, forced to use the night vision on the camera in an attempt to see where this horribly deformed and dangerous creature is. Alas, she gives away her position and is dragged into the darkness - but not before we see her screaming face pleading for help. Intense, incredibly scary, and original in every sense of the word, [REC] is one of the very best in modern horror.
