[rec]

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.

Is there a US release for the dvd?

Not a full scale 28 Days later but I would say one of the first incidents of the plague/virus. As for the U.S, they already remade the damn thing and its coming out in a couple of months, Its called Quarantine. As for the original, not sure if u could find it in the foreign film section at a video store. You can always download it.

It's not like 28 Days Later really. Cloverfield just for the camera obviously, but then films have been doing that before hand... so not practically like them at all.

As for a dvd release date for America, I can't find an official release. I really want the Spanish 2 disc edition, the box is gorgeous.

I think Quarantine looks good. I'm still interested in [rec]. I've seen the spanish trailer on youtube and the style looks more like Blair witch project.

I like how the infect people look in Q and I like how infected child looks in [rec] I think I'm going to enjoy both of them.

Well see REC first!! give the Spanish credit at least.

I think [rec] dvd will be eventually release here in the US at the same time as Quarantine opens in theathers. If memory serves me right....the studio that made The Grudge pull the same idea with the original japanease film.

Either way...I want to see both films.

I believe the same thing happened with The Ring. I remember seeing Ringu on the "New releases" section a week or so before The Ring came out.

k

I have now seen footage from [rec] and seen the Quarantine trailer.

From what I saw in [rec] (thanks to youtube!) it seems the infected in the building look similar but not identical to the infect people from 28 days later. I like it..pretty suspenseful stuff!

Now, with Quarantine, from the trailer...the infected look more

Spoiler:
demonic

So this will be a tough cookie for me. From the little I've seen from both [rec] and Quarantine...I think...I might enjoy both of them. I like what I've seen so far....and now I'm hooked.

I'm interested in both as well.

That said, I'd like to see rec first since it's the original, if possible. Hopefully they release it here soon.

The 'infected' are more or less the same looking/acting in both films but the remake ending explaination for them looks rubbish compared to the original more mysterious one. Don't watch the trailer because it gives things away.

Well, it appears that Quarantine will be release first here in the states. So I guess I'll be seeing Quarantine first....I'm sure is the same story as [rec] the only difference will be the visuals and look of both films. This looks promising so....here is hoping.

Or you could buy a multi region player, order into your country a dvd of REC, and wait till you have seen that. Then go and see Quarantine/wait for it on dvd.

🙂

Even though Quarantine is not going to be the same as [rec], I think having Quarantine released will help spread the word about [rec].

You know...there is a music store where I usually go to get my hard to find DVDs and they stock multi region. I might have to see if they can get it for me.

mmm

You must, you must, you must! unless, I don't know about America, but here in the UK certain dvd players can have a code put into them via the remote and it turns them into multi region just like that.

Unless you have one and you meant the different region dvds there...

just watched this...very impressed...some of it is just brutal...the bit when

Spoiler:
you hear the guy screaming as he falls between the stair wells just before he hits the ground

Spoiler:
in the dark penthouse when you see the ****ed up girl with the hammer

top stuff indeed...and that's coming from someone who doesn't usually like horror movies...

That end bit made the film for me, absolutely creepy!!

Hate to break your heart....but I'm seeing Quarantine this weekend. [rec] will have to wait.

Traitorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. 😛

I just finish watching this film not even 10 mins ago and i absolutely loved it. I think the American version Quarantine is still going to be up to par but [rec.] is now one of my top fav horror's.

If you really want to watch it before Quarantine comes out, downloading it is your best bet............have fun and enjoy the film you rascals 🙂

I just saw Quarantine and it wasn't too good. Wasn't impressive.

That said, watching it made me more excited to see [rec] because the premise and setting seem really promising. While watching it I could see how it COULD be awesome, just wasn't.
