You need to see the original "REC" movie to know how bad this one is. It tries to introduce more zombie attacks than the original making it way boring. And it is a failure in its end.
1) To scare people you need to introduce pauses so there is thriller. In this movie they put too many zombie attacks compared to the original. It was much more explicit than REC so it becomes more a gore funny film than a horror movie.
2) You can't choose such a bad actress, she screams so much you quickly want her to be caught by a zombie. What a bad performance.
3) This is a Hollywood movie, it is supposed there is more resources, how can the zombies look so fake? the Spanish one was utterly superior. SPOILER The final monster is a joke compared to the original one. Incredible. The original monster was a girl and you could see her breasts, Hollywood censored this??? how funny. What about the night vision scene???? It didn't look like night vision at all!!!! It has to look like a negative or something, not like a dark version of a normal vision!!!
3)They skip the most important thing here!!! In the final scene, they turn on the tape and NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT'S GOING ON IS HEARD! In the original movie you can hear the guy living in the flat talking about how he kidnapped the girl from a church where they kept her in Portugal, about his experiments and how he tried to cure her. It's several recording sessions and you see how desperate he gets because he can't heal her and he thinks he won't be able to keep her UP THERE for much longer. You can figure out he has been a victim of her.
So the devilish nuance is lost in favor of the less scaring virus point of view. What made REC so good is that in the end it seems the girl ("Niña Medeiros") is some creature from hell it's not only about an infection.
All in all, another Hollywood waste of money, instead of welcoming foreign movies they copy them and make them a shame.
