[REC] (movie)

[Lumi]

A couple of nights ago, I was at a friends. We decided to watch a movie called [REC], a Spanish horror movie. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical. I've watched a lot of horror movies, so I'm pretty immune to what people consider "scary".
I'm one of those people that would take a lot to scare stupid.
After watching [REC], well... Lets just say that I was so scared, I couldn't move.
It was better than any horror movie that I had ever seen.
I've never been afraid of the dark, but holy Hell, now I am.
It was well filmed, better than anything that Hollywood could ever come up with.
Hollywood tried to come up with an American version of [REC]. I think they called it Quarantine. It was crap.

Here's a link to the IMDb of [REC]

I highly recommend it.
Has anyone else seen it?

I've only seen [REC] 2. I hated it. It totally spoiled the whole image that [REC] left behind.

I actually liked the American version better because of the ending. In the Spanish version it dealt with a bunch of religious stuff right? It's been a while since I watched either, but I recall a different ending in the American version which I enjoyed more. Other than that though, the movies were practically a carbon copy of one another.

The first [REC] ended with the tv reported being pulled away by the dead girl.
The second [REC] had all the religious stuff in it.

the third is very religious too,they stop the zombies by saying biblical verses all the time

Tbh, REC 1 is the only I liked back in the day. It was original then. I already didn't like REC 2 much, but -even though I like Leticia Dolera- I was clearly disappointed with REC 3, specially when they stop the hand-recorded thing and the film starts to look Hollywoodish. This is the trailer, you can see what I mean.

Apparently, Balagueró had little to do with this one (REC 3 Genesis), but he will be in charge of REC 4 Apocalypsis, so I expect the 4 to be better.

I haven't seen the Hollywood remake and frankly, I don't think I do. The only remake of a Spanish movie I've seen was Vanilla Sky (Abre los ojos), and it was copied frame by frame too, just with a different soundtrack.
