[REC] is pretty good at what it does, presenting a claustrophobic view of people trapped in a hotel with zombies. Nothing THAT great, but not bad either. Didn't bother with the American version at all.

As a fun film for 100 mins it is decent enough but as a homage to grindhouse.... it is actually far too slick in places for it's own good.

Where is the bad acting? Badly dubbed scenes? Visible boom mikes or unimaginative cinematography? this is what grindhouse was all about!
I don't like it much. Not even half as much as Machete, or even a quarter as much, even.
