However, Ángela may be of far more use to them than they originally believed, as they discover when they watch her found footage, and witness the final encounter that took place between her and the monster in the darkness… 1:15: by Jaume Balaguer, Paco Plaza Publication date 2007 Topics REC, spanish, horror Language Spanish A television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying. In fact, when Ángela breaks free of her hospital bed straps and teams up, temporarily, with a member of the SWAT team who has also been taken, she discovers that the happy crew is in fact on the ocean waves, with a team of scientists working desparately on an anti-viral serum to combat the affliction.
