October 28, 2021 at 8:48 pmOnly the first two REC movies are good, the first remake is acceptable, not seen that one’s sequel though.
REC3 and 4 are more like spinoff’s that should not be seen.

October 28, 2021 at 8:52 pmI actually wonder if there is a version of this film that has subtitles, because that might make a major difference. If that was even the issue, of course. It looks interesting.

October 29, 2021 at 12:07 amI can’t imagine seeing this dubbed… REC is probably my favorite found-footage scary flick, and the immersion and slow burn causes you to forget that you’re watching a movie by the time the horror starts.
You might try “Banshee Chapter”, “As Above So Below”, or “The Borderlands” if you want to try some more found-footage style horror. Big fan of all of ’em!

October 29, 2021 at 1:10 amAppreciate your crazy hard work reviewing SO many movies.
But I’m thinking you lost A LOT by going with the dub.
REC is an expertly crafted film in the original language. And incredibly claustrophobic. I highly recommend a watch.

October 29, 2021 at 1:40 amoh, Damn! I was really rooting for Spain’s “El Dia de la Bestia” (The Day of the Beast, 1995) It was the kind of movie that every friend loves when I was a teenager, I can’t recomend it enough!

October 29, 2021 at 3:41 amOne of the best found footage horror movies so far

October 29, 2021 at 4:36 amRec is a classic, what a shame you couldn’t find it subbed, you probably would have enjoyed it much better.

October 29, 2021 at 6:46 amWatched all 4 of these less than a year ago, in spanish with english subs, liked the first one but as usual the sequels isnt nearly as good, never watched the remake, didnt even know there was a remake until now, but usualy the only reason to watch a remak is to see how bad they did compared to the original (The Fly and The Thing are the only remaks of any kind that i can think off that are better than the original, there are probably a few more, but not many)
Saga The Damsel
October 29, 2021 at 9:56 amI was really hoping when it was Spain turn you didn’t do REC. Great movie sure but for cinemassacre appeal an even better option would be El día de la bestia “Day of the Beast” 1995 from director Alex de la Iglesia. Please check that one out.

October 29, 2021 at 12:11 pmRec is perhaps one of the best examples of how to do found footage correctly, low tech and full of over zealous performances, this is a very good movie.

October 30, 2021 at 3:32 amI was able to find the Spanish with subtitles version on crackle for free. Only bad thing is, there are ads so it sometimes takes you out of the tense moments. But watching it in Spanish with English subtitles makes a huge difference!

October 30, 2021 at 4:48 pmThis one of my favorites. Its tense as hell. I think this perception comes from the acting. So, as a brazilian, i can appreciate the spanish language, and imerge into the film.

October 30, 2021 at 11:26 pmGreat movie…second one was also good…better than the American version that copied this one.
oh well
October 31, 2021 at 1:29 amAmazon only has the dubbed version? This is exactly why I pirate movies. If this was your first experience of [REC], then you missed out.

October 31, 2021 at 8:08 pmNice use of the RE4 credits theme!
Also, I love REC! Try to catch the Subbed version if you can. It’s an option in the Spanish BluRay release at least.

October 31, 2021 at 10:03 pmThere’s definitely a subtitled, non-dubbed copy out there, because I found one back when it first released. It really does help with the pacing, and REC 2 is a direct sequel that expanded on the whole religious aspect of it. Sure hope James gets to find an original copy, and watches the sequel — it really was unique! Although REC 3 was a ridiculous non-handycam spin-off surrounding a bride on her wedding day, and the 4th was a joke of a completion circling back to the main story, the first two are both great. Quarantine and its sequel of “zombies on a plane” are a joke.

November 1, 2021 at 2:24 pmREC 3 went full horror comedy and it’s a gem.

November 2, 2021 at 5:41 pmAs Saga The Damsel said. I really recomend “Day of the Beast”. It is an awesome movie from one of the best director from Spain.
REC is very popular and very mainstream, but I feel is like “Macarena” song. Yes it was popular everywere but in Spain no ones really like it or it was just a trend.
Check Alex de la Iglesia work. It is great.

November 3, 2021 at 12:40 pmAs James, I’m not a fan of found footage films and shaky camera. As a costa rican, most successful spanish films come here to Netflix or theaters and this one was no exception. I remember it had some fame and many people consider it to be even better than Quarantine. If you have the time, please watch El Espinazo del Diablo, Los Ojos de Julia and El Orfanato. Those are very good films
