Lights, camera, TERROR!
This movie is another awesome non-zombie zombie flick in the same vein as 28 Days Later, except these non-zombs are a little different. These monsters are infected with something unknown that causes them to savagely attack and kill people, and they seem to be impossible to kill despite shots to the head.
[REC] follows a reporter who is given the assignment of reporting on the duties of the night shift crew of a local fire station when they get a call to an apartment building for a medical emergency. As the scene unfolds, it is determined that the situation is far from normal when the building is quarantined by the government. Tenants start going crazy one by one and killing each other.
Can the firemen and reporter survive the onslaught of maniacs and find an escape from the building?

Now before you start Googling, the reason why this movie sounds familiar is because you're thinking of the American reboot that came out a year later than this, Quarantine (starring Jennifer Carpenter of Dexter).
[REC], in my opinion, was better although Quarantine was identical almost shot for shot. It is also filmed in Spanish so you will either have to watch it dubbed or with subtitles, but it's still scary and will cause you to jump a few times.
You'll enjoy this.
