Croll Pictures Rec (stylized as [•REC]; short for "record") is a 2007 Spanish found footage zombie film co-written and directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.

[10] Reporter Ángela Vidal and her cameraman Pablo are covering the night shift in one of Barcelona's local fire stations for the television series While You're Sleeping.

The remaining officer, Sergio, and Manu reenter Mrs. Izquierdo's apartment, where they witness her kill a young woman who attempts to escape.

Sergio is forced to shoot Mrs. Izquierdo after she attempts to attack him, while Ángela and Pablo begin interviewing the residents, including Guillem, a doctor, César, a tenant, and Jennifer, a young girl whose mother Mari Carmen claims has tonsillitis.

Ángela, Pablo, Manu, and the health inspector seek refuge in César's apartment, who claims that there are potential exits in the building, notably a drain in the basement.

Ángela, Pablo, and Manu, the remaining three survivors, set out to find a key that will allow them to escape the building via a large drain in the basement.

They find a tape recorder that explains that the penthouse owner, an agent of the Vatican, was charged with the task of isolating an enzyme carried by a young Portuguese girl named Tristana Medeiros, whose symptoms suggest a demonic possession.

The site's consensus states: "Plunging viewers into the nightmarish hellscape of an apartment complex under siege, [Rec] proves that found footage can still be used as an effective delivery mechanism for sparse, economic horror.
