I am surprised that...


... no one even attempts to get out of the building by going up 1 floor getting into a room and jumping out of the window

the ground floor was being blocked - but can you realistically block a whole apartment?

Didn't you see the bit where the windows are all blocked?

The most sensible plan would have been to lock everyone in one room, rather than let people walk up and down and get attacked on the way.

i saw the lower level was blocked but an immediate reaction was "go upstairs and get out that way!" it wasnt really handled imho and it reminded me of Resident Evil game where you simply cannot leave the place because there's a dog in the way LOL - Rec was a good film well made, kept your attention but nothing original - it didnt persist with the documentary aspect too - only 2 horrors of the found footage/faux documentary have pulled it off quite well The Poughkeepsie Tapes and The Tunnel

funny that you mention resident evil cuz after the penthouse scene I thought the whole plot seemed derivative of resident evil
