Have you ever had the urge to bite a reporter


Finally watched this movies thanks to Netflix and I have to say that the American version of this movie is almost dead on, a plot to plot copy of this suspenseful foreign film. The only difference was the ending and the American version ramped up the gotcha moments all the more but over all a damn good movie that uses the first person perspective to it's full advantage to tell a story without some whiny bitch staring into the lens and getting snot on everything. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love "Quarantine" and eagerly hope for a sequel that will never happen but didn't like how the ending went where every thing slows way down to get that last dramatic shot of the movie. In "[REC]", the last moments only slow for a couple of beats before getting to the last shot and that made the pacing better and wished that "Quarantine", had followed suit but alas it did not. All and all I say if you like suspension and possible zombie type outbreaks, more so in the American movie and the foreign movie is more biological and the end has religious undertones to it, and the American version is more crazy guy, as I don't think that they like pissing off the Catholics but I don't see how it would if kept to the originals ending. I say watch them both sometime, not back to back though, as you watch one you all ready know what's going to happen in the other, around October and in the dark works best. Oh and "[REC]" has got a sequel and number 3 in the works. I hate Hollywood.
