true record, true restoration

The Spanish "Death Video" is very similar in style to "Blair Witch", but the former is obviously slightly better than the latter! Not only is the story true and credible, but the actors also play well, and it feels very immersive when watching it. The sense of terror created by this film is pressing step by step. The space in the play is confined to a closed building, and the residents inside do not know what happened or what the dangers they face.

The only clue to the audience was the camera in the cameraman's hands, and the reporter asked him to film what happened, and he did. Of course, his last shot was his own death! We have seen it, we know everything that happened in this building, and we also know what happened to everyone... The camera is indifferent and strong, he witnessed everything without a choice, and in the end, it will restore everything!

REC quotes

  • Ángela: [to Pablo, before interviewing a fireman] If this is a pain in the ass, just cut, okay?

  • Álex: People think we run around, putting out fires but around 70% of the calls we get are for other types of services.

    Ángela: Like what?

    Álex: For example, broken water mains, or pet rescue too. Even though it sounds cliché, it's true.
