Back in the darkness
Catalonian and Spanish directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza are back on the scene, with their sequel to the sublime, terrifying [Rec] (2007). So, does the second slice of P.O.V. pandemonium match up to the first?
Well, yes and no. As already said, the same directors reunite (and Picturenose had a chance to chat with Paco recently), with Manu Díez taking writing duties along with Balagueró this time around.

Dead scary
The horror cinéma-vérité sub-genre is enjoying a whole new lease of life – it’s a concept that was set in motion by The Blair Witch Project (1999) and which, after an absence of nearly ten years, has been well-served recently by fake documentary flicks such as George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead (2007), Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity (2007) and in 2008 by Matt Reeves’ and J.J. Abram’s Cloverfield (2008).
