Recently, I have been really fascinated by this kind of pseudo-documentary horror films. From "The Cloverfield File" to "The Diatloff Incident", the immersive tension of the pseudo-documentary cannot be given by other shooting methods. To be honest, I am a person who is not very fond of horror films, and there has not been a real classic in the pseudo-documentary so far, but the unique shooting method gives it a unique charm. I remember that the first time I came into contact with this genre was "Chernobyl Diaries". I watched "rec" today, and I feel that this genre is indeed more suitable for sci-fi horror, probably because such horror movies often have one sneaking in the dark night. monster killers, and the pseudo-documentary can well show the helplessness of people when they are hunted, and the panic when monsters suddenly appear.
