There are only some minor spoilers in my review, and those spoilers are in the technical and structural aspects of movie-making. I'm not going to spoil the story to you, because it's very brief like a prime time news story. I just want to mention the opening segment of the sci-fi movie District-9. The style used in District-9's opening segment is inspired from Rec.
This horror film has been made within a first person point of view live action perspective, and shot by a single hand-held camera. The ultimate challenge is that the entire movie goes until everybody dies. There are no bad guys, and no good guys. Everybody is a victim. Everybody must die.
All along the movie we are controlling Pablo's camera, and we are in his point of view. If you ever played FPS(first person shooter) computer games, you'd like this even more, because this film is entirely in FPS gaming style. We are always in point of view of Pablo's video camera. If the battery dies, the camera shuts down, then we can't see anything. If the audio receiver is disconnected, we can't hear. If the camera lens gets broken, we'd take off the lens, and start filming via night vision. This is a very strong premise, and absolutely this is what made me keep watching till the end. Otherwise zombie movies for me are just unreal and nothing interesting or scary, and always guessable too.
I'd recommend this film for adolescents who want to have fun on Halloween. As a unique zombie movie, it deserves multiple views. Turn on the volume and just join the fun.
