| Flicks.co.nzAndreas HeinemannIf you're going to a horror movie, it's because you want to be scared senseless. In this regard, they don't come better than [REC]. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesAt its best, "[REC]" is a stress test, with genuinely frightening and surreal use of grainy, fidgety camerawork and eerie night-vision. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyShot in shaky handheld style, [REC] is a bit like George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead, but, you know, actually scary. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerSuperbly acted, brilliantly directed and absolutely bloody terrifying, this is one of the best films of the year. |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerDirectors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, rising stars in the Spanish horror scene, create a buzzing urgency in a familiar premise... |
| Film School RejectsRob Hunter[Rec] sets out to terrify and it succeeds nicely. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.While utterly nihilistic in its attempts to disorient the audience, the directors keep "[REC]" a consistently terrifying experience with some of the most gruesome deaths filmed... |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottThis movie is crowded and sprawling, and if it rambles sometimes, that's just fine. Like those big, boxy Caddies (and like Howlin’ Wolf, if he did say so himself), it's built for comfort, not for speed. It hums, it purrs and it roars. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonA sterling effort in the eventually overplayed "found footage" genre. |
| IndieWireEric Kohn“REC” delivers a steady stream of frights because its camera man never knows quite where to look — and by the time he figures it out, it might be too late. |
