[REC] - Spanish zombie film

[EvilNed]

Dubbing sucks major. Dubbing can really ruin a film for me. And don't give me the "I don't like to read films" arguments. It takes the eye and mind less than a milisecond to read what's said on screen. It detracts nothing, except if you're to lazy to even do that. Dubbing should be banned. It's film violation. You're violating the directors vision by replacing the soundtrack. I find that dubbing is for the MTV crowd. And I'll be sure to get ahold of Rec. With subtitles, of course. If it's dubbed, I won't even bother.

Saw it last night. One of the best zombiefilms I've ever seen.

This was posted over at dvxuser This zombie film is about a television reporter and a cameraman who join up with a fire department to film their night. It is filmed like Blair Witch and is very shaky and blurry at times. http://posters.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqsOaV7NUVM They are planning a North American remake called Quarantine starring Jennifer Carpenter (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), which should be out this Halloween. http://posters.imdb.com/title/tt1082868/ I'm going to watch tonight and will report back :P

Can someone explain the ending to me please? Here you go...   I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers.'

Come on, someone help me out!   So someone was up in the penthouse working on something to do with possessed children? Huh? And the boy up in the attic?

Here you go Neil, here's my take on the ending:   It seems that the dude who owns the penthouse - which has been locked for months or years apparently - did indeed go to track down the source of this infection or something, I think to snuff out the infection completely, but didn't know how to do it spiritually or whatever - as he clearly believed it to be - so he locks that manky thing in his attic ... with one lame chain, lol ... so that's what I thought it was about. The dude has this penthouse, but after all that business with this possessed kid out there in the world - whom he tracked down and kidnapped so he could lock it away in his penthouse attic - and then he fled and left it sealed up. I might have to rewatch the ending, but that was basically it. So I think that beasty in the attic is the source of the infection, because it was that kid's dog that got sick - so presumably the dog came in contact with that manky monster kid somehow, not entirely sure... That better?

That better? All a bit unclear really isn't it...   Sort of implied that possession was actually this infection and not supernatural, and he'd been messing around with it and also kidnapped the possessed girl, who we saw at the very end. Who the child was up in the loft, how the dog got ill, why the little girl didn't 'change' until question marks were finally asked about her, is all a messy mystery Shame it wasn't clearer!

Unclear or not, when that movie got going it was a white knuckle terror ride! I just watched the Spanish version with English subs, I was very, very impressed, to keep all the action in one location and keep the horror factor at warp ten is a cracking feat IMO. Excellent movie. I will definitely get the DVD when it is released. (I wonder just how badly hollywood will f**k this up, I bet there is more than one gun in it for a start).

The acting was generally excellent... And the truly amazing thing was of course - as it was all done from one camera - there were many single long takes/shots. Impressive! Still hoping someone can explain the ending to me though
