Paco Plaza

[Rec] is an extreme thrill that aptly uses modern techniques to its best advantage, creating a truly creepy and tense atmosphere where so many films before it have failed.

Plaza knows how to deliver a fun, action-filled zombie flick that harbors some kick-ass gore and a few very funny moments.

If you didn't like the first film, I can't see how you'll like this one. Stylistically the films are very much alike, though the directors made better use of the style this time around.

Paco Plaza continues to explore the horror genre, this time turning his attention to the religious horror that is having a bit of a revival. He certainly isn't reinventing the wheel with Sister Death, and the film isn't up there with his best, but if you're looking for a quality entry in this niche, Plaza has you covered.

Paco Plaza's return to the horror genre. Don't expect a full-on chiller though, Plaza's latest has some drama and fantasy elements to make for a more rounded genre film. It's a shame the plot is a bit too generous with hints as to what is going on exactly, as Plaza's direction is pretty stylish.

Quite a change of pace for Paco Plaza. Best known as a full-blown horror director, Plaza slow things down and deliver a crime thriller with strong dramatic undertones. Not really the film I was expecting from him, it's equally clear he struggled with the genre switch in places, but overall this was a pretty solid film.
