REC (stylized as [•REC]) is a Spanish zombie horror film series.[1] The original 2007 film was shot in Barcelona, Spain and the title is an abbreviation of the word "record", as it appears on a video camera.

The first REC film was remade in the United States as the 2008 film Quarantine.[2]

REC was followed by three sequels; REC 2 in 2009, REC 3: Génesis in 2012, and REC 4: Apocalypse in 2014 as the final installment in the franchise.[3] Spanish company Filmax International is responsible for the production of the REC franchise and released all four installments.[4][5]

The series lead protagonist, Ángela Vidal, is portrayed by actress Manuela Velasco in all the films except REC 3: Genesis.[6]

Actor Javier Botet portrays Tristana Medeiros, the series main antagonist.[7]
