Rec (stylized as [•REC]; short for "record") is a 2007 Spanish found footage zombie horror film co-written and directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. The film stars Manuela Velasco as television reporter Ángela Vidal, who, along with her cameraman, accompany firefighters on a late-night call to an apartment building in Barcelona, where an outbreak prompts authorities to seal the building and place its occupants under quarantine.
Rec was released on 23 November 2007 to critical and commercial success. It has appeared on lists and retrospectives covering found-footage and horror cinema.
