Re: [Rec]
 

So I finally got around to seeing this. One of the few times where I've seen the remake first before the original. Great flick....but I think I prefer Quarantine over it.

My choice has nothing to do with budget, american over foreign, or any other bs like that - it comes down to pacing and a few scenes for me.

In rec, I didn't like the long pause taking for interviews once the action started, it felt awkward and really out of place. I know it was done to give a little life to the characters but it was just too long and people seemed too calm after what had just happened.

Things that were well done were the scenes with the little girl and the end...although I didn't like that there were two infected in the final room.

I thought Quarantine did a better job of involving the "camerman" as well - too many times in rec it felt like he was just too idle; both action and emotion wise.

These are not major gripes or anything close to them - I mention this because some of you for whatever reasons feel the need to defend movies. I purposely waited on watching rec because I knew it was going to be way better than quarantine like many people here have stated.

Still, a great flick and deserves your attention.
