"Rec" a Spanish Blair Witch Project

The living dead get the Blair Witch treatment when the makers of 'While You're Asleep', a late-night Spanish TV schedule filler, find themselves trapped in a quarantined apartment block full of flesh-eating stiffs. As a sub-genre in the wider, weirder world of exploitation films, the faux documentary has a short but fascinating history. Check out the 'found' footage of (genuine) animal slayings and (non-genuine) natives impaled on poles in the highly questionable Cannibal Holocaust; the cerebral, post-mortem chills of The Last Broadcast; or the victory of brains over budget that conjures scares from the sparest of premises in The Blair Witch Project. more from movies/cinemas »
