At long last, Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza’s terrifying Spanish chiller [REC] is coming off the shelf and being released on Stateside DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The movie was held up while Sony produced and released the English-language remake QUARANTINE last year.

I bought the UK region 2, double-disc DVD last August and it had the same 2-disc set-up as the Spanish release (including ALL the features on that set) and the features, docs, deleted scenes, etc. all had subs.
Sometimes it pays to wait.

I`ve seen first the Spanish film and after that the American remake. The remake had it`s interesting bits and pieces but the director should have watched the original more closely, because the Spanish film was far superior in the suspense department and scene composition was aslo far better than in the remake. I liked the ending of the American one better, because of the missing half assed religious theme about the cause of the "quarantine" and the spaltter effects were also great, which I missed totally in the original version. Nevertheless, check out the Spanish film, which stands tall and way proud out of the croud of fucking sequels and remakes Californian studios are bombarding us with.

I went through the trouble of getting the international version (which led to the furthre expense of getting a region-free DVD player) and it was totally worth it!
Best Horror film i have seen in years- american version sans the whole supernatural element is not the same-
a modern classic- only downer being all the extras- and there were a ton on this two disc set- were not in english nor sub titles provided-
Powered by Zombies.
