This 2007 movie combines found footage with the zombie genre to create a terrifying horror movie. Directed by Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza, this Spanish movie revolves around a reporter and her cameraman who follow a firefighter crew to a building, only to find that it is contaminated by an infection and an unnatural presence. The movie innovatively uses the found footage genre to evoke claustrophobia.
