I just finished watching this (Thanks DanielSavage) and I was very impressed. I had no idea what it was going to be about when I started watching it. It was awesome! I haven't seen a horror movie this good in a long time. Hopefully things are starting to pick up for the horror genre. I suppose it's only a matter of time before this movie gets picked up with a remake... sigh.
Damnit... before I submitted this I checked and found out it has already been remade... I give up.

For anyone else who deals with subtitle issues...There are lot of subtitle sites on the internet in which you can download text subtitle files, you can use a tool like Auto Gordian Knot to turn your DVD into a DIVX/XVID file, and then use other free tools like DVDFLICK to burn it back to DVD with the text subtitles included. there is another great tool called Divxland media subtitler which lets you hard code the subs into the video.

I know I mentioned that I saw Quarantine in the Shocktober thread, but I'm bringing it here now.
Quarantine is very good. It only strays from [REC]'s storyline a little, and it actually adds a few gore and shock scenes into the mix. If I hadn't seen [REC] before Quarantine was released I'd be calling Quarantine the best horror film from the past couple of years. But seeing as I did see [REC] first I'm going to be the first guy to say that I preferred the original.
Even still, Quarantine is very entertaining. You guys should go check it out as soon as you can...

I'm glad to hear it turned out good.
I'm not always against remaking good foreign films, I understand maybe with the Ring many people may get pulled out of the experience in a movie where everyone is asian..
But with [REC], I mean did they go and remake Pan's Labyrinth? I mean I think [REC] with subtitles would have been a pretty effective release...
I will check out the remake though.. I always do..

Finally saw this last night (TY D.Savage) I must say, I already love this movie. Tension, tension, tension, from about 10 minutes in all the way til the end. Twas a real wild ride.
Though in the same vain perhaps as Blair Witch in style/appraoch, [REC} is much much better. I KNOW i'll be watching this one multiple times, where as with BWP once was enough for me. With REC I was fully immersed, and this is a rare occurance for me in my adult years.
Though my Spanish is so so, I definitely needed the subtitles, but I tell you, watching events unfold from the news camera perspective, hearing people panic in a foreign language, somehow, strangely, added to the tension for me. It was like I was watching the shit hit the fan in a news broadcast.
In short, thumbs way up!! The last 10 minutes especially creeped me the fuck out! People need to see this one.

google the term "Subtitle Search"
if you are watching an Xvid/Divx type the name into google with ENGLISH SUB next to it.. you should be able to find some...
if you watch on a PC, use VLC, it lets you manually choose the subtitle file you want to use with the movie when you to file /open

Well, some discussion in another thread got me to watch this and I gotta say, story wise the movie was great, I definitely enjoyed it however the shitty way this movie was filmed really ruins it! I really don't see the appeal of movies like this, when I watch a movie I want to clearly see what's going on instead of sitting there thinking to myself "Please, ffs, STOP MOVING THE FUCKING CAMERA!!!" constantly! Some may find this style effective but I find it more annoying than anything; for me it doesn't make the movie more scary, realistic, suspenseful, or anything else like that, it's just something that you have to put up with if you want to see the end of the movie. Again, story wise it was great and if the movie were filmed in a more conventional style then it would have been excellent but it wasn’t.
I don’t just write off movies like this because I don’t like this style but this style is something I think greatly detracts from my enjoyment of the movie. I have the same complaint with Diary of the Dead but I also liked that one. Anyway, despite my complaints I definitely plan on seeing the second one, of all the movies I’ve seen like this I find this one to be the best.

There are a few clips from it here:
http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/the-new-rec2-teaser-goes-full-on-first-person-shooter-#extended
Those clips are less than 30 seconds long and nothing happens in them, but they are incredibly tense and unnerving. I'm starting to expect serious business from this movie. I'm thinking it might turn out to be just as good as the first one.
