10 Zombie Movies You Must See Before You Die
8. Rec (2007)
If you’ve ever found yourself googling ‘Scariest movies of all time’, chances are you’ve come across REC. This Spanish found footage movie is one of the few to live up to the Blair Witch Project as it tells the story of a film crew being locked inside an apartment building with something ominous. What follows is a claustrophobic 'scare a minute' nightmare that hits you with something terrifying from go.
Like its genre predecessor in the Blair Witch Project, the film takes a unique approach to scaring by goading the audience, not with mega storyline or characterisation but a unique desire to scare. It’s short, has an independent spirit and disturbs.
REC is a heart-stopping 72 minutes of minimalistic filmmaking that pays homage to horror classics and games while making it feel so real that even the cast were terrified. It’s said that only one of the actors knew what was happening and where to go, all the others were taken into this depravity just like us. Prepare yourself for this one, it takes zombie movies to the next level.
