REC is a 2007 Spanish horror film co-written and co-directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. The film was remade, in the United States as the 2008 film "Quarantine". A sequel, titled REC 2 was released in 2009, and two more films in the franchise are planned with a teaser trailer for REC 3 Genesis on youtube, and Rec 4 Apocalipsis set for release in 2012.
REC follows a television reporter, Ángela Vidal, and her cameraman, Pablo, who cover the night shift in one of Barcelona's local fire stations. Accompanying the firefighters to a nearby apartment, the news team begins recording the bloodcurdling screams coming from inside an elderly woman's unit. After authorities seal off the building to contain the threat, the news crew, firefighters and residents are trapped to face a lethal terror inside. With the camera running, it is increasingly likely that nothing will survive but the film itself.
