Darkness (2002)
Apr 11, 2005Haunted House/Occult Conspiracy
From Jaume Balaguero, a film that assembles a decent cast and broods with suggestions of a haunted house and occult conspiracies but never does much to let it pay off
[Rec] (2007)

Sep 24, 2008Zombie Film/Found Footage
Furious and highly engaging Spanish Found Footage film about the infected dead taking over an apartment building. Three sequels and an English-language remake followed
Quarantine (2008)
Dec 14, 2008Zombie Found Footage Film
English-language remake of the Spanish Found Footage film [Rec]. A lesser work but in the hands of John Erick Dowdle one of the few English-language horror remakes that stands up to the original

May 3, 2015Zombie Outbreak on a Ship
The fourth film in the [Rec] series. This abandons the Found Footage look but without it, all we have is just another zombie film, nevertheless this builds to an intensively gore-drenched climax
Inside (2016)
Sep 22, 2019Home Invasion/Pregnant Woman Pursued
The 2007 Inside in which a pregnant mother is pursued by a woman with a pair of scissors was one of the most brutal viewing experiences amid the French Extremism fad. This is the English-language remake
Muse (2017)
May 18, 2018Man Haunted by Supernatural Muses
Jaume Balaguero has become one of the most promising of modern Spanish genre directors, principally on the basis of the [Rec] films. However, this supernatural mystery that resembles one of Dario Argento's Three Mothers films fails to quite come together
