REC

The thing that bothers me about these "found footage" films is, when all hell breaks loose, as it does here, would a guy seriously continue to lug a camera around?  You've got death on your heels, chasing you up the stairs and you're going to continue filming?  You see people under attack and instead of helping, you're just going to stand there and film?  It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I didn't like THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, CLOVERFIELD, BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, etc.  I don't think it adds a sense of authenticity to the films.  I find the technique annoying.

REC is a terrible film.  A pointless exercise that doesn't have enough story to fill its length.  Talk about stretching the material.  The entire opening at the fire station is simply filler. 

Once the characters learn the virus is passed through saliva, watch how many of them gets their arms and faces close to the infected mouths.  The film would work if the characters were smarter.  Instead, they're bumbling about the building senselessly, screaming and yelling like fools.
