Character Evaluation
Under the lens of Jaume Balagueró, the audience can fully appreciate the characteristics of Western-style horror movies that are very gloomy and grim, and the plot is soothing but crippled. For example, his works "Darkness" and "Fragility" also show this characteristic to the fullest. However, just when people thought that he would continue this usual style to the end, a movie "Rec" completely subverted everyone's usual impression of Spanish horror films, and Barnaguero has become the next generation of Spanish horror. Movie director. The movie "Rec" is different from the previous Spanish horror films in that the director Jaume Balagueró played in the film the zombies and pseudo-documentary themes that Americans are best at. He perfectly combined the blood and horror of the zombie film with the DV-style reality and presence, which greatly improved the horror effect of the movie. In the movie "Sleep Tight", Barnaghero regained the essence of Western horror and adopted a perspective that was completely different from that of traditional horror films .
