for your halloween viewing consideration : [rec] yo self, [rec] series

10/31/2013 by alaundre

Spanish horror series. The first one is better known in the US as Quarantine (The dvd cover for REC says “the movie that inspired Quarantine”, but is it really inspired when it’s a direct English language remake?). Now, if you’ve seen Quarantine, then REC is virtually the same…except better in a lot of ways (pacing, visually more realistic, a more claustrophobic feel etc).

Old School Blaxploitation style trailer (not the actual BD movie) . edit: can’t find a clip of the longer dojo fight […]
