Episode description

Experience Fear

ZOOMbie Month continues with the 2007 Spanish Found footage classic REC.

A television reporter and her cameraman follow a group of firefighters into a Barcelona apartment building, only to find themselves trapped inside as a mysterious infection spreads among the residents. As chaos escalates, their footage documents of the unfolding nightmare.

Also this week: Ben rides a wild rollercoaster, an underrated Robin Williams role, and... Is Bob Hoskins in this movie?

All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!

"We have to tape everything, Pablo, for f---'s sake!"
