Record Fucking Everything

We were talk­ing about my old Ring scare (can’t find the orig­i­nal post, but I’ll update when I do) the other day, and it put me in the mood to watch some scary movies, so I just saw [Rec] and [Rec] 2. Here’s a trailer for the original:

(If you fol­low to YouTube or else­where, be care­ful, spoil­ers abound!)

The first one in par­tic­u­lar was amaz­ing. It’s very sim­i­lar in style to Para­nomal Activ­ity and had every­thing I loved about PA (par­tic­u­larly a solid start­ing premise that I feel could hap­pen in real life) and noth­ing I hated (the cou­ple, and the boyfriend in par­tic­u­lar, was annoy­ing as hell to me, because they acted in ways that I felt they shouldn’t). The [Rec] sequel was OK, but I felt like I would have like more sus­pense and less expla­na­tion. Ori­gins for hor­rors shouldn’t be explained — mys­tery just makes them scarier!

If you’re into scary movies at all, you should check them out. Oh, and I haven’t per­son­ally seen it, but I hear that Quar­an­tine, the Amer­i­can remake, pales in com­par­i­son. Oh, and there’s a third movie on the way, supposedly.

Also, I won­der how the PA sequel is going to be… I’ve heard a lot of hype over this banned trailer of theirs.
