A Scanner Darkly
[REC] lives up to the hype and then some. I went into the film highly skeptical and came away a believer. The co-directors of the film mix horror, zombie and sci-fi themes and devices much the same as the band Arcade Fire mix various expansive types of music and instruments into something fresh and new that isn’t afraid to kick down conventional doors and walls. While I would consider Hot Fuzz the funnest film I’ve seen this year, [REC] isn’t too far behind. This movie is so much fun - I can hardly wait to see it again for a 3rd time. Full review coming soon. Until then I can breathe a sigh of relief that I wasn’t busted on that audience trailer jumping and screaming!
The film has some beautiful tempestuous twists and the absolute best scares in horror cinema you will this year (well if your lucky enough to catch it).
