Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.
I think there's something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.
I vividly remember the night we turned out the lights to try this one out. That was one of the very few horror movies that had me so freaked out and unsettled but also gripped me so much I couldn't wait to see what happened.
What a wild ride.
It wasn't contrived or anything, everyone felt real.
I just watched it based on the recommendations here, and it's not bad. It does suffer from the same trope as a lot of horror movies, which is this, by the time it ended i wanted the main character to die because they were getting on my nerves.
