I saw this the other day it's a spanish movie with subs and it's what dairy of the dead should of been it's being remade already for america it's really good it shocked me.
REC revolves around a television reporter, Ángela, and her cameraman, Pablo, who cover the night shift in one of Barcelona's local fire stations. The firehouse receives a call from an old lady trapped in her house. When they arrive, and the firemen and the police break down the door, the old lady suddenly attacks and bites one of the policemen, and it is revealed that an unknown but virulent disease is infecting people, causing them to turn into zombies. The police and the military quarantine the building and the camera crew is trapped inside, constantly recording the mayhem that ensues.
Holly shit, that has to be the scariest most tense horror movie I have EVER seen.
I don't remember watching a movie which had me so stressed and watching-through-the-fingers-the-next-scene like this one. And especially at the end.
This isn't actually a zombie movie - it is sort of, [SPOILER - highlight to read]: but the origins of everyone turning violent is due to other factor - (can be seen in the movie at the end) and it is not chemical/biological infection
Excellent movie. Don't be put off by the subtitles.
And please see it BEFORE the American version comes out, as Spanish version is almost guaranteed to be better - for one, there is not 'explanation' before, after and during the movie, as it appears to happen in an American version.

Is the ending they show on the trailer when she [SPOILER - highlight to read]: gets pulled away from the camera by that girl in the penthouse , i can't remember from the trailer for the remake.
I don't think they showed what was actually [SPOILER - highlight to read]: in that room in the trailer.
I'd love to see how the remake ending looks compared to the original, I thought the end scenes in the original were amazing.
Does anyone know how they did up [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the girl in the penthouse, was she a very very thin actress they got and did the make up or was there some CGI help?
I think [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the girl would have been CGI. Her jaw was also unusually huge
I think that the ending was extremly powerful [SPOILER - highlight to read]: It only gives you perhaps 5 minutes or so in exlaining where this whole mess came from. The girl from Portugal being possesed and the likes. Her looking through the papers and the pictures happens very very fast.
It is unclear and it leaves you to make your own decision about it.
I fear re-make will ruin this particular aspect. I watched the trailer and there is a voice over telling you something took place somewhere already ruined it for me.
It already lost the 'real' feel that the original had.

Heard some much of this film during my visit to SDCC. I haven't had the chance to search for it. I heard that is practically Cloverfield crossed with 28 days later. If I find a copy on dvd I have to get it.

Yeah, I noticed. I was tempted to mention which part is the ending on a Youtube trailer I saw. The spanish gurl has a better rack though.
