6.) 28 Days Later

In this movie, This Spanish movie tells the story of people being trapped in an apartment building as it gets hermetically sealed because of a virus outbreak. Surely nothing bad will happen! There’s been a freakish amount of sequels to this movie, but don’t watch those. They go down in quality really fast.

“REC” turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams — which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report.
