Director Jaume Balguero, Paco Plaza / 2007 / Spain

<p><strong>“While most cinematic genres are languishing, the horror movie is alive and well and holidaying in the Spanish sun.” - <em>Guardian</em></strong><br /><br />The shaky camera trend of horror that began with <em>The Blair Witch Project</em> and continued through to the likes of <em>Diary of the Dead</em> (also showing in this year's program) adds volumes to the one-location claustrophobia of this Spanish ‘frightmare' courtesy of Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. <br /><br />Seen through (the unseen) cameraman's lens, we follow an ambitious reporter making a reality TV show who shadows some firemen called to an emergency at an apartment block. There to greet them is more than an elderly woman trapped in an apartment - the block has been infected with a flesh-eating disease that has turned its residents into ravenous zombies. <br />
