Made
in
Spain,
a
documentary
TV
crew
spends
a
night
with
a
firefighting
team
on
their
routine
activities
from
hanging
around
the
fire
station
to
going
out
on
call.
One
such
call
has
them
ending
up
at
an
apartment
building
where
some
residents
are
encountering
some
trouble,
not
of
a
flaming
variety,
but
a
tenant
in
distress.
This
soon
escalates
into
a
deadly
situation
when
they
are
attacked
by
what
seems
to
be
a
crazed
resident,
rapidly
spiraling
into
chaos,
leading
to
the
building
being
sealed
up
with
everyone
inside.
Some
amazing
tension
and
extremely
creepy
moments
are
created
from
the
camera’s
point
of
view.
This
Spanish
film
took
the
handheld
documentary
/
handycam
video
footage
scenario
and
gave
it
a
great
spin
(just
like
Blair
Witch
Project
and
Cloverfield
did).
It
got
a
quick
and
equally
effective
American
re-make
in
the
shape
of
Quarantine.
One
of
the
critical
(and
unnecessary)
downfalls
of
the
Rec
DVD
release
is
the
fact
that
it
got
dubbed
into
English
(with
over-acting
voice
artists),
and
on
the
South
African
version
there
is
no
original
Spanish
audio
option,
which
would’ve
made
it
far
more
realistic
and
engrossing.
