In this episode of Horror Joy, hosts Brian Onishi and Jeff Stoyanoff continue their deep dive into found footage horror by investigating the 2007 Spanish film [REC], directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.

The conversation explores the film's claustrophobic terror, its political nature, and its effectiveness as a groundbreaking entry in the found footage genre.

We discuss:

  • The Appeal of Found Footage
  • The Horror of quarantine
  • Reading [REC] forward into 2025, including social and political commentary
  • The joy of an effective found footage film, the use of the camera, and terrifying staircases
