Rec (stylized as [•REC]) is a Spanish supernatural zombie horror film franchise.[1] The original 2007 film was shot in Barcelona, Spain and the title is an abbreviation of the word "record", as it appears on a video camera.
The first Rec film was followed by three sequels; Rec 2 in 2009, Rec 3: Genesis in 2012, and Rec 4: Apocalypse in 2014 as the final installment in the franchise.[2] Spanish company Filmax is responsible for the production of the REC franchise and released all four installments.[3][4]
The series lead protagonist, Ángela Vidal, is portrayed by actress Manuela Velasco in all the films except Rec 3: Genesis.[5]
Actor Javier Botet portrays Tristana Medeiros, the series main antagonist.[6]
The first film was remade in the United States as the 2008 film Quarantine.[7] Quarantine 2: Terminal was released in 2011. Although the sequel's plot picks up directly from where Quarantine leaves off, it is not a remake of Rec 2. Quarantine 2: Terminal takes the series in a completely different direction with its own rules and mythology different from those of the Rec series.
