The thing about REC, is that this isn’t just some zombie movie, it’s a take on the belief of supernatural workings that can be quite typical around Spain or even Mexico itself, they are topics that are quite brought upon with either movies, the media itself and gossip in the streets. It’s a good mix on what could be a “zombie” outbreak by supernatural means
@@goodkrypollo1706 yeah! And it gives it a honestly good twist to the formula, it makes it unclear what really caused it until you stumble across the final scenes
@@Cybernautz yes! Although sadly it did end up going with the Bio weapon type of origin in later movies. Kind of the same thing that happened with resident evil were it went form zombies to infected type monsters.
you should see how this movie was made. they were real firefighters, those were real reporters, those were real people that actually lived there...that's why a butt ton of scenes felt a bit awkward cause no one was given a script to act on, only few details. everyone was improvising. kkkk.
The firefighters at the station are actual firefighters except the two main guys (the bald Manu and the one who fell down the stairs), they are actors. Manuela Velasco was an actress/reporter/TV host in real life, that's why she was cast and seems so natural and believable. But the residents of the building are all actors.
@@lampad4549 not all, ven though they had some script of what was going to happen, a lot of the things that happened didnt, for example when they put q plastic around the building, the actores had to actually improvise
The gunshots are the most accurate I’ve seen portrayed in a movie, firing a handgun in a house or inclosed space is LOUD, at in indoor range once my ear protection wasn’t on right and the guy in the stall next to me fired a pistol and my ears were ringing for hours after
This is the Spanish og version. Or you tried to say the Spanish audio is better than the poorly translated subs? I wish I could understand Spanish just for these movies. Especially rec 4 with its awful English subs which don't even form a sentence 😂
i remember seeing this movie in a friend's house whose apartment complex was pretty similar to the one in the movie... i was terrified of going down the stairs lol
I'll remember to never see this movie again once I finally move in with my gf. She lives in a huge apartment complex and it's gonna be a nightmare fuel if I do that lmao
So happy you seeing a spanish movie! Spain has a lot of great directors. You guys should come to visit us some day, this is a great and welcoming country.
The Bar is a fav Spanish film of mine with similar theme, along with The Devil's Backbone which is just a classic, and Cronos...actually the list just goes on ;)
Fun fact, the "thing" who was in the penthouse is not made by special effects, is a real person with a rare syndrome that causes him to have a tall and very thin body with hypermobility, who works as an actor in horror movies. His name is Javier Botet. In case you are insterested, he worked in several horror movies in hollywood like "IT" or "Slenderman".
I'm so glad y'all got to watch rec first because there's an english remake called quarantine. Comparing the two movies, rec is the superior film. Quarantine could have been a creatively crafted remake solely for recreating almost the entire movie of rec, scene by scene with incredible accuracy. Although the problem is that the director for quarantine gave no credit to the movie rec, and claimed his movie was "original." He also claims to have never seen or heard of rec, despite quarantine looking like an english dub of rec with the brightness turned up. Just thought this would be a fun fact for anyone interested, enjoy.
Wait, are you shitting me? This guy makes a shot-for-shot remake and has the gall to try and steal the idea? I've had students who tried to pawn off the Gettysburg address as their own who were more believable.
12:37 she really doesn’t talk fast lol I’m Spanish and I’m telling you she speaks at a normal pace and super clearly. She’s also using a reporter voice/pace when speaking to camera and it’s quite professional and clear.
Spaniard here. I also found their comment hilarious, since especially in that scene she was speaking in a "reporter voice", emphasizing every word in a normal speed so her speech was very clear.
Heck yeah! So glad you guys finally got into *[•REC]* and you're even following it with the sequel as well!? Wonderful! This movie is hands down my favorite found-footage type film that I've ever saw, and its sequel *[•REC]²* was again surprisingly worth it too.
@Mr. Cheeseburger Dude watch Spanish "Atrocious" (2011) and Korean "Gonjiam: haunted asylum" - those found footage movies are also done right. There is also a reat series of found footage but without paranormal stuff called "Creep" - great.
@@jesusrivas89 No, I didn't particularly care for *[•REC]³: Génesis* as the movie went with this really cheesy feel for a horror movie series that until that point took itself serious. It was a complete shift of tone, the whole thing started becoming more of a parody of itself as the movie went along and I was very disappointed for something could have been so much better. As for *[•REC]⁴* it was so-so, in my opinion. While not a huge disappointment like the previous movie in the series, it at least felt like the tone had shifted back to a more serious one (thank god), and it at least brought a conclusion to the story of the series, a conclusion which while a bit underwhelming, still felt like it was much needed because the series started derailing itself from the great horror movie premise that started with the 1st film.
If I had to choose my two favorite found-footage movies, I'd probably pick [•REC] and The Last Exorcism. In both cases, the filmmakers manage to make great use of the concept while avoiding the boring-first-half syndrome and the confusing camerawork so common in this type of movies. Another interesting one that I saw recently is The Deep House. Well worth a watch if only for its cool concept and great atmosphere.
@@naiderl YES! *The Last Exorcism* is one of my horror movie favorites too! Seems like we have similar taste. I'll have to check out *The Deep House* whenever I have the time.
I watched it with my girlfriend at the time. The theater was empty; it was the late-night session around 1AM, just the two of us and a man on the other side of the theater. I was fun.
I like the way no one is expecting to be possession, and think is about biological, chemical or nuclear. But the idea of possessed zombies is so unique and original and fits perfectly. Love your reaction. You guys are awesome and funny
I thought the girl had taken the longest to turn because she just had doggy saliva get into a cut whereas the others got savage bites and damage on my first viewing. Right up to the possession reveal got me wondering did she take so long because she was a child and thus more pure and resistant than the adults who see the world in shades of gray and compromise.
Rec and Rec 2 are my favorite of all time found footage films. Great premise, amazing execution. Very skilful films, glad ya'll get to experience them!
So happy to see y’all review this! In my opinion it’s one of the most well done horror movies i’ve ever seen. It feels so real and that is understandable considering how it was directed. I love this movie ❤️
This movie scared the absolute shit out of me. And I consume horror on a rather regular basis. I had so much anxiety. When the movie was over, it felt like I had just gotten off a roller coaster that was an hour and a half. One hell of a fucking ride.
Actually the demon who possessed the girl that the priest kept in the penthouse to find a cure for can spread its control and mind through others by bitting and the victim becomes a zombie-like creature but its actually the demon.
El principal problema de la 3 y 4 es que le quitaron la magia por la que esta saga se hizo famosa y popular y es el Found Foutage en la 3 todo ok en la boda pero cuando se rompe la camara y la cuarta entrega ya parecen cintas genéricas de Zombies
As a Spaniard, It's so cool that you guys have watched a Spanish movie in the channel. It would be nice if you also react to some Almodóvar movies like Women on a verge of a nervous breakdown, volver or parallel mothers
@@januzi2 The orphanage is also really good (although it wasn't directed by Almodóvar). I would also recommend Blancanieves (2012) by Pablo Berger. It's a really interesting adaptation of Snow White but with Spanish (Andalusian) vibes. Warning: there is some bullfighting scenes in it.
@Iván77 Non-Spanish people only know the films of Almodóvar and Amenábar, and in Spain we have many filmmakers who make better films. You should see more spanish cinema
Love the religious aspect of it being a demonic zombie virus. Very unique. I think the worst issue here is you understand the people in the building wanting to escape and survive... But you also understand the government not wanting this disease/possession getting out of the building.
I'm Spaniard and I remember going to the cinema when the film was released. I didn't know what the topic was, and I remember screaming a lot! It's been one of my favorite horror movies ever since.
You understand everything (the whole plot) after the second and the fourth one. The third one is like a side story inside REC's world, so you don't need to watch it. Great reaction as always!!
Eso es correcto ¿pero en la tercera no daban pequeños indicios sobre la mascota infectada? que tampoco es que aporte mucho a la trama principal, ya no recuerdo, es como las películas de Cloverfield que mientras pasa la trama principal suceden las otras películas con historias aledañas. Aunque [•REC] fue primero. Tendré que hacerme un maratón de toda la saga.
@@jesusrivas89 Sí. Creo que el veterinario era uno de los invitados a la boda. Por eso he dicho que es como una historia a parte, pero dentro del mundo de REC. Que me gusto, no me malinterpretes. Pero no tenía nada que ver con la trama principal.
They totally missed (and didn't show) the scene where the Government guy in the yellow hazmat suit explained how people's blood types affect how fast they "turn" after being infected.
OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! One of my favorite movies ever!!! I'm Portuguese and I love spanish films so much! They usually do such an amazing job of portraying real emotions! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOPPEEE! I've seen this before. This and The Descent are the only two horror movies that scared the s*** out of me. EDIT: HAH! You even mentioned The Descent during your reaction. 😅
this is definitely one of my favorite horror movies EVER. i remember watching this when i was 10 lol and i was so scared bc i thought it was real. the second one is also just as scary as this one
incredibly happy to see you react to Spanish cinema, greetings from La Coruña, Spain, I never thought I would see REC with you, I hope you see the rest of the parts, I assure you that you will love the wedding
Oh, god, I watched in the theater at my 15 years old and I ended exhausted and confused It's really a frantic trip through the guts of Hell. One of the few spanish modern movies that deserves to be watched
I'm so glad you guys reacted to the original Spanish version of it and not the Quarantine movies. This is definetly one to remember forever, very original, very well made and very scary LOL. You should definetly check out Ari Aster's Midsommar !
Great reaction guys. I saw this in the theater and loved it. Glad you guys checking out foreign language movies. You might want to check out Guilermo del Toro's early work in Spanish language (The Devil's Backbone).
I feel like the girl took so long to turn because of innocence. Knowing it's a demon makes Bible lore possible, so an innocent soul would be harder to corrupt. Also the demon is not above playing the part until the jig is up it seems.
My sister worked at a video store (remember when that was a thing? lol) and one of the customers told her to watch it completely blind--that it was worth it--so she brought it back from work and we watched it at 11 pm and I'll never forget how freaked out we were. SO good!
I would like to compliment the technical side of this reaction and say that I truly appreciate your subtitle work. A tricky predicament for a reaction video and handled so flawlessly, most of us probably won’t even notice. 👍
[REC]2 is worth checking out as it dives more into the story started here. But the 3rd and 4th installments take a pretty sad turn as it goes into very Army Of Darkness type of comedy/horror, which I feel ruined what was so great about the first 2 films. You can watch the 2nd and stop and you will get all you need from the series.
The first time I watched it, I didn't know what it was since I stumbled on it. The ending scared the crap out of me, I couldn't watch... one of the most intense horror movie, even descent hasn't that level of freaky...
I highly recommend REC director Jaume Balagueró's other movie "Sleep Tight" (Mientras duermes). It's a thriller and takes place in a Spanish apartment building as well.
You 100% have to watch REC 2, it explains a lot of the lore in this universe, won't spoil anything but is a must watch if you wan't to understand the lore
As a spanish fella myself I can tell you that the difference between european spanish and latin-american spanish is just like the difference between britain english and american english..... Both are the same language, but either the accent and some expressions changes (especially on swearing, no other country in the world has the curses Spain has XDXD).... It's ok if you can't tell the difference, it takes some time listening to both languages to actually notice the subtle changes.....
I think the little girl turned slower because she wasn't bitten and the others bled out, hence died. Ah she is a basketball fan, and he is a Fallout fan!
you find out how the feds knew in the second film ! Most law enforcement officers in Spain are issued a sidearm to carry while they are on duty. In some cases of heightened alert officers have access to sub-machine guns and occasionally a rifle if needed.
I'm honestly a bit surprised, Mr. Movies is around my age, a fan of many of the same genre and films, but he hadn't seen [•REC] is unexpected. At the time there was a ton of buzz and I remember some friends calling it "Blair Witch done right". I didn't watch it until a few years later, I want to say when it was on Amazon Prime.
This is way better then the American remake. So creepy and claustrophobic just insane. Also you should check out Ringu the Japanese version of the ring. Very atmospheric. 24:04 the sequel's go deeper into this
There is a comic that is a prequel and explains the origin. The patience 0 was the possessed girl from the penthouse. The possession works like an infection. The infection passed from the girl to the rats of the penthouse and then to the dog.
I can only speak for Britain but it might be all of Europe. What you call the ground floor is the first floor for us. So your first is our second and so on.
Great reaction! Please more horror movies, especially "found footage" movies 👍 I highly recommend "Grave Encounters" and "As Above So Below" - absolutely the best from found footage genre 👍
@TheLegendOfOblivion lake Mungo is just horrifying, one of the few movies I actually found myself forgetting it was a film and not a true documentary...it's literally like a feature length buildup to that last moment... Very sad film, and odd that the director has done like, nothing else which is nuts
The long takes and the practical effects on top of being filmed in an an actual apartment complex gives this such a gritty real feel. The American version, "Quarantine," comes close to being a shot for shot english language remake.
Spanish in Spain is a different dialect than most Latin American Spanish. Cursing is also part of their vocabulary. Growing up I was told Spanish shows and movies rarely show in Puerto Rico tv if ever cause of all the cursing. The subtitles in this movie are so censored! These people curse in almost every sentence and the subtitles don't show it! 😂
Most people are possessed within seconds of being infected, but not Jennifer the young girl who was said to be ill for hours before succumbing. The religious background of the infection explains the discrepancy: Children Are Innocent thus take longer to possess than any of the adults who certainly have a fair share of sins to speak of.
Paco Plaza is a great director from here in Spain, his last moivie is: La abuela/the grandmother (2021) and you can see too: Verónica (2017) great director! xd
There’s also an American remake called Quarantine. It’s practically a shot for shot remake of [rec] and it stars Dexter’s own sister Jennifer Carpenter as the reporter. There’s also a Quarantine 2. But it’s its own thing and not a remake of [rec] 2.
At the back of their uniform it says Ajuntament de Barcelona Bombers, it's in Catalan, meaning fire fighters/firemen of Barcelona City Council. Bombers in Catalan is bombero in Spanish. The subtitles just lack the expressiveness of Spanish, including the swear words which makes it more expressive hahaha
I forgot how good this movie was. If you decide to keep watching the REC saga, REC2 is more of the same with a few twists but REC3 is VERY fun to watch.
I've always been reluctant to watch these Rec movies (I'm not a fan of found footage) but you just got me watching them all now ❤️ Tonight I'm watching the 4th in the series. So, thank you, Mr and Mrs Movies!
Okay. One second in. Havent even watched the reaction vid yet but I am so excited. Rec is one of the greatest films ever. I love this film so much. First reaction channel I have seen reacting to it as well.
I think a lot (not all) Nord Americans need to LEARN the diference between speaking Spanish, and the country Spain in Europe... when a movie is from Spain, its for Spain EUROPE, if its from Argentina its From Argentina SOUTH AMERICA, not so dificult, rest of the world knows it, think about it 🤣
I’m pretty sure it’s just traveling. When you’re playing ball outside or at the Y you might hear an up & down call. That being said, I was not expecting that from either 1 of you so I laughed when y’all were figuring it out. Awesome little wrinkle to y’all’s reactions that I always enjoy!!!
I thought traveling was taking 3 steps without dribbling. But I'm not a basketball fan by any means so what do I know. I thought it was up and down penalty as well.
So there was an American adaptation of this film made the year after Rec released, called Quarantine (2008). Except it was zombies and had no mention of rituals. I liked Quarantine a lot. It’s cool to see where they got the idea from.
The theory on the girl of why her infection took so long cuz the saliva got into her eyes/mouth. Theory on Manu's infection if you pay attention to his face when he mallet down the door to the entrance door there was blood on his mouth from smashing the infected Chinese woman's head. So some of the blood got into his mouth or chances in the eyes if it got to the eyes but definitely got into the mouth.
OHHH BOY THIS MOVIE IS SOOO GOOOD, You really need to watch " EL HOYO " btw thats EU SPANISH :D , theres EU SPANISH, South american SA , and Latinamerican spanish :p
Please consider reacting to”Annabelle: creation” (the 2nd Annabelle in the conjuring universe) is the only 100% rotten tomatoe rated horror film and it’s AMAZING! Honestly!
This is for the Mrs., when Mr. said "up & down" for the violation the reporter made while playing basketball, he was right as well. Technically in the NBA, it is a form of traveling. Everyone I know who played basketball growing up called it "up & down", not a travel. I even looked it up on Google and Quora just to see if it was just my specific region, or if it was universal knowledge. Based on my findings, it is pretty much universal. P.S. The NBA also changed the traveling rule in 2009 (to benefit Lebron James) from 2 steps to 3 steps allowed after picking up the dribble. It is technically called a gather, and then 2 additional steps, but the reality is it is 3 steps.

Oooof that night vision sequence at the end is one of the most intense scenes of any film I’ve ever seen. Absolutely insane! 😵😮💨
Kinda like a 'window licker'
Facts
Yes! The finale and possessed woman at the end is one of the most chilling things I've ever seen in cinema, creeeeepy af
And if any of you are asking themselves, yes we have that kind of creepy buildings in Barcelona xD
Pretty generic tension building you ask me
The thing about REC, is that this isn’t just some zombie movie, it’s a take on the belief of supernatural workings that can be quite typical around Spain or even Mexico itself, they are topics that are quite brought upon with either movies, the media itself and gossip in the streets.
It’s a good mix on what could be a “zombie” outbreak by supernatural means
To be honest a supernatural zombie outbreak is more believable than some virus.
@@goodkrypollo1706 yeah! And it gives it a honestly good twist to the formula, it makes it unclear what really caused it until you stumble across the final scenes
Such a cool spin on zombies!
@@Cybernautz yes! Although sadly it did end up going with the Bio weapon type of origin in later movies. Kind of the same thing that happened with resident evil were it went form zombies to infected type monsters.

not really, you are correct in all your descriptions of guns just not applicable to the movie
Guns are loud period in any setting. But yes inside is much worse and the sound echos and reverberates.
The spanish OG version is the Best
This is the Spanish og version. Or you tried to say the Spanish audio is better than the poorly translated subs? I wish I could understand Spanish just for these movies. Especially rec 4 with its awful English subs which don't even form a sentence 😂
@@datdudeinred Subtitles are okay in the original movie, however, they omit 70% of the swearing 🤣
Yeah I don't know what it is! Quarantine is nearly identical but there's just something about it this one.
You can tell Outlast got the inspiration from the final mimutes of the film. The nightvision, of course.
i remember seeing this movie in a friend's house whose apartment complex was pretty similar to the one in the movie... i was terrified of going down the stairs lol
I'll remember to never see this movie again once I finally move in with my gf. She lives in a huge apartment complex and it's gonna be a nightmare fuel if I do that lmao
So happy you seeing a spanish movie! Spain has a lot of great directors. You guys should come to visit us some day, this is a great and welcoming country.
Ahhh holaa otro español por aquí ✨
They should check out Orphanage - or El orfanato, from 2007.
I would recomend "El Día de la Bestia" (The Day of the Beast? in English?) ;)
The Bar is a fav Spanish film of mine with similar theme, along with The Devil's Backbone which is just a classic, and Cronos...actually the list just goes on ;)
Airbag FTW
The final scenes of this film are among the most terrifying scenes of all time.

Wait, are you shitting me? This guy makes a shot-for-shot remake and has the gall to try and steal the idea? I've had students who tried to pawn off the Gettysburg address as their own who were more believable.
Agreed, Quarantine is not bad, Jennifer Carpenter did great, they should have not changed the origin of the infection IMO.
As a spanish, the scariest thing about this movie is the amount of curse words the subtitles left out lol
y la escena del niño

applause for the peoples who watched this in theaters when it came out 👏👏👏
I saw a marathon on my theater when the second one came out with the first one and the second one in a row, it was a cool experience
i was so impressed when i saw it first, never expected the story
Yes, I made that mistake 😆 I don't do horror, usually.
I watched it with my girlfriend at the time. The theater was empty; it was the late-night session around 1AM, just the two of us and a man on the other side of the theater. I was fun.

Rec 2 is actually well done and I think a little better. It's about the swat team going in an finding out what happened.
2nd one is slightly better in my opinion
Can't wait for part 2
NO WAY. No one of the prequels is on the level of the first.
A mi la 2 no me gusta tanto, la que si me gusta es la 3 aunque pierde el formato cámara en mano 😅
The look of terror on BOTH your faces was hilarious 😂
Rec and Rec 2 are my favorite of all time found footage films. Great premise, amazing execution. Very skilful films, glad ya'll get to experience them!
Rec 2 is soo good
Yeess!!! The original Spanish version! Thank God, good reactors here. Watch the original argentain version of The Secret in their Eyes.
Usually i hate found footage, shaky cam, but this one delivers.
Same here. I hate shaky cam
So happy to see y’all review this! In my opinion it’s one of the most well done horror movies i’ve ever seen. It feels so real and that is understandable considering how it was directed. I love this movie ❤️

Recuerdo que en su momento me daba mucho miedo está película, actualmente le guardo cariño a pesar de que la saga evolucionó para mal
La 2da me parece buena, la 3ra y 4ta si son mierdas
La 1 y 2 son joyitas 🙌
Rec 1 e 2 são bons filmes. 3 e 4 são uma palhaçada. Horríveis, mesmo.
El principal problema de la 3 y 4 es que le quitaron la magia por la que esta saga se hizo famosa y popular y es el Found Foutage en la 3 todo ok en la boda pero cuando se rompe la camara y la cuarta entrega ya parecen cintas genéricas de Zombies

Eso es correcto ¿pero en la tercera no daban pequeños indicios sobre la mascota infectada? que tampoco es que aporte mucho a la trama principal, ya no recuerdo, es como las películas de Cloverfield que mientras pasa la trama principal suceden las otras películas con historias aledañas. Aunque [•REC] fue primero. Tendré que hacerme un maratón de toda la saga.
@@jesusrivas89 Sí. Creo que el veterinario era uno de los invitados a la boda. Por eso he dicho que es como una historia a parte, pero dentro del mundo de REC.
Que me gusto, no me malinterpretes. Pero no tenía nada que ver con la trama principal.
They totally missed (and didn't show) the scene where the Government guy in the yellow hazmat suit explained how people's blood types affect how fast they "turn" after being infected.
OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! One of my favorite movies ever!!! I'm Portuguese and I love spanish films so much! They usually do such an amazing job of portraying real emotions! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always shocked at how realistic the blood looks. It has the right color.
NOOOPPEEE!
I've seen this before. This and The Descent are the only two horror movies that scared the s*** out of me.
EDIT: HAH! You even mentioned The Descent during your reaction. 😅
this is definitely one of my favorite horror movies EVER. i remember watching this when i was 10 lol and i was so scared bc i thought it was real. the second one is also just as scary as this one
Markus is the MVP, always requesting the greatest of movies
incredibly happy to see you react to Spanish cinema, greetings from La Coruña, Spain, I never thought I would see REC with you, I hope you see the rest of the parts, I assure you that you will love the wedding
Oh, god, I watched in the theater at my 15 years old and I ended exhausted and confused
It's really a frantic trip through the guts of Hell. One of the few spanish modern movies that deserves to be watched
I'm so glad you guys reacted to the original Spanish version of it and not the Quarantine movies. This is definetly one to remember forever, very original, very well made and very scary LOL.
You should definetly check out Ari Aster's Midsommar !
Great reaction guys. I saw this in the theater and loved it. Glad you guys checking out foreign language movies. You might want to check out Guilermo del Toro's early work in Spanish language (The Devil's Backbone).
The Devil's Backbone is so goooood, definitely a masterpiece of a movie.
Barcelona was one of the first words said by David Tennant as the 10th Doctor.
I feel like the girl took so long to turn because of innocence. Knowing it's a demon makes Bible lore possible, so an innocent soul would be harder to corrupt.
Also the demon is not above playing the part until the jig is up it seems.
I so love the "not a virus" twist.
Call me silly but I love that “yay~!” little sound byte you folks include
My sister worked at a video store (remember when that was a thing? lol) and one of the customers told her to watch it completely blind--that it was worth it--so she brought it back from work and we watched it at 11 pm and I'll never forget how freaked out we were. SO good!
I would like to compliment the technical side of this reaction and say that I truly appreciate your subtitle work. A tricky predicament for a reaction video and handled so flawlessly, most of us probably won’t even notice. 👍
[REC]2 is worth checking out as it dives more into the story started here. But the 3rd and 4th installments take a pretty sad turn as it goes into very Army Of Darkness type of comedy/horror, which I feel ruined what was so great about the first 2 films. You can watch the 2nd and stop and you will get all you need from the series.
The first time I watched it, I didn't know what it was since I stumbled on it. The ending scared the crap out of me, I couldn't watch... one of the most intense horror movie, even descent hasn't that level of freaky...
That movie was a hell of a ride
REC 2 reaction anyone?
Haha! I saw the name of the movie and my first thought was Markus. Keep 'em coming, brother.
I am getting a real Joan Cusack vibe from you. You've got the look, the voice and the expressions. REC was much scarier than Dawn 2004.
This movie scared the living sh*y out of me when I first saw it! Your reaction was almost identical to all our own!
I highly recommend REC director Jaume Balagueró's other movie "Sleep Tight" (Mientras duermes). It's a thriller and takes place in a Spanish apartment building as well.
You 100% have to watch REC 2, it explains a lot of the lore in this universe, won't spoil anything but is a must watch if you wan't to understand the lore
As a spanish fella myself I can tell you that the difference between european spanish and latin-american spanish is just like the difference between britain english and american english..... Both are the same language, but either the accent and some expressions changes (especially on swearing, no other country in the world has the curses Spain has XDXD).... It's ok if you can't tell the difference, it takes some time listening to both languages to actually notice the subtle changes.....
I think the little girl turned slower because she wasn't bitten and the others bled out, hence died. Ah she is a basketball fan, and he is a Fallout fan!
you find out how the feds knew in the second film !
Most law enforcement officers in Spain are issued a sidearm to carry while they are on duty. In some cases of heightened alert officers have access to sub-machine guns and occasionally a rifle if needed.
- *THE TOWN (2010)*
- *PRIMAL FEAR (1996)*
- *WIND RIVER (2017)*
- *CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (2002)*
🔥🔥🍿🤘
Wind river yeah good one
You gotta pay dude. This is just spam
Thanks Alan! 👍 @ClasssicAdden You need to learn to mind your own biz. Trying to sound like a leg breaker SMH!! 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you like this genre, I would recommend going Cloverfield. It´s much more hollywoodised of course but also pretty suspenseful.....
I'm honestly a bit surprised, Mr. Movies is around my age, a fan of many of the same genre and films, but he hadn't seen [•REC] is unexpected. At the time there was a ton of buzz and I remember some friends calling it "Blair Witch done right". I didn't watch it until a few years later, I want to say when it was on Amazon Prime.
This is way better then the American remake. So creepy and claustrophobic just insane. Also you should check out Ringu the Japanese version of the ring. Very atmospheric. 24:04 the sequel's go deeper into this
REC is so so good. It's so good that the american remake is not terrible just based on the strength of this filmmaking and story.
There is a comic that is a prequel and explains the origin. The patience 0 was the possessed girl from the penthouse. The possession works like an infection. The infection passed from the girl to the rats of the penthouse and then to the dog.
Spanish police are definitely armed. Every officer carries a 9mm semiautomatic pistol. They also use shotguns and semiautomatic rifles.
REC is an excellent movie! Great choice
Radioactive zombies? The hills have eyes might be the closest I have seen on that 👀
I can only speak for Britain but it might be all of Europe.
What you call the ground floor is the first floor for us.
So your first is our second and so on.
Great reaction! Please more horror movies, especially "found footage" movies 👍 I highly recommend "Grave Encounters" and "As Above So Below" - absolutely the best from found footage genre 👍
Grave encounters 🤮
Grace encounters is one of my all time favorite horror movies completely unexpected
I"d add "Lake Mungo" and "The Tunnel"
@@TheLegendOfOblivion Oooh! Lake Mungo is a great one too. More people should be aware of that movie. So creepy and so f*****g sad.
@TheLegendOfOblivion lake Mungo is just horrifying, one of the few movies I actually found myself forgetting it was a film and not a true documentary...it's literally like a feature length buildup to that last moment...
Very sad film, and odd that the director has done like, nothing else which is nuts
I really wanted to see you reacting to “Ready or not”, it’s not scary, but I bet you’d have a lot o fun watching it
The long takes and the practical effects on top of being filmed in an an actual apartment complex gives this such a gritty real feel. The American version, "Quarantine," comes close to being a shot for shot english language remake.
Spanish in Spain is a different dialect than most Latin American Spanish. Cursing is also part of their vocabulary. Growing up I was told Spanish shows and movies rarely show in Puerto Rico tv if ever cause of all the cursing. The subtitles in this movie are so censored! These people curse in almost every sentence and the subtitles don't show it! 😂
God I can’t FUCKING wait for you guys to see part 2!!!
0:04... just look at the difference in their faces!! 😄😄😄😄 Opposites really do attract...
My respect for Mr. Movies just went up with the Fallout reference!
Please look into "The Men Who Stare At Goats"
Most people are possessed within seconds of being infected, but not Jennifer the young girl who was said to be ill for hours before succumbing. The religious background of the infection explains the discrepancy: Children Are Innocent thus take longer to possess than any of the adults who certainly have a fair share of sins to speak of.
Paco Plaza is a great director from here in Spain, his last moivie is: La abuela/the grandmother (2021) and you can see too: Verónica (2017) great director! xd
I love this movie! He's just genius and simple. I always watch when I want a more ghastly night lol
There’s also an American remake called Quarantine. It’s practically a shot for shot remake of [rec] and it stars Dexter’s own sister Jennifer Carpenter as the reporter. There’s also a Quarantine 2. But it’s its own thing and not a remake of [rec] 2.
At the back of their uniform it says Ajuntament de Barcelona Bombers, it's in Catalan, meaning fire fighters/firemen of Barcelona City Council. Bombers in Catalan is bombero in Spanish.
The subtitles just lack the expressiveness of Spanish, including the swear words which makes it more expressive hahaha
the girl lives in the darkness thats why they couldn't see it with light, once the darkness comes she lives.
Not mexican, but it's spanish and it's filmed in Bareclona Spain!
I forgot how good this movie was. If you decide to keep watching the REC saga, REC2 is more of the same with a few twists but REC3 is VERY fun to watch.
Iirc Part 2 is basically the same movie just in Pov of the firebrigade.
Love her reaction on this one because it was what i and everyone else feel watching it for the first time.
I've always been reluctant to watch these Rec movies (I'm not a fan of found footage) but you just got me watching them all now ❤️ Tonight I'm watching the 4th in the series. So, thank you, Mr and Mrs Movies!
I know the 4th was different in how it was shot but it still was good (despite getting flack).
REC is seriouly one of the best horror films of the last few decades..its very very scary
Okay. One second in. Havent even watched the reaction vid yet but I am so excited. Rec is one of the greatest films ever. I love this film so much. First reaction channel I have seen reacting to it as well.
It’s in Spanish from Spain, not from Mexico. There’s a difference very noticeable for us just like you guys with uk/us accent
This is the one "found footage" type movie that actually messed me up. Good stuff.
I think a lot (not all) Nord Americans need to LEARN the diference between speaking Spanish, and the country Spain in Europe... when a movie is from Spain, its for Spain EUROPE, if its from Argentina its From Argentina SOUTH AMERICA, not so dificult, rest of the world knows it, think about it 🤣
I’m pretty sure it’s just traveling. When you’re playing ball outside or at the Y you might hear an up & down call.
That being said, I was not expecting that from either 1 of you so I laughed when y’all were figuring it out. Awesome little wrinkle to y’all’s reactions that I always enjoy!!!
I thought traveling was taking 3 steps without dribbling. But I'm not a basketball fan by any means so what do I know. I thought it was up and down penalty as well.
@@alexs1640 you’re probably right. I may just never see it called.
It’s both up and down is a type of traveling
So there was an American adaptation of this film made the year after Rec released, called Quarantine (2008). Except it was zombies and had no mention of rituals. I liked Quarantine a lot. It’s cool to see where they got the idea from.
It's called up and down when going for a shot lmao
The theory on the girl of why her infection took so long cuz the saliva got into her eyes/mouth.
Theory on Manu's infection if you pay attention to his face when he mallet down the door to the entrance door there was blood on his mouth from smashing the infected Chinese woman's head. So some of the blood got into his mouth or chances in the eyes if it got to the eyes but definitely got into the mouth.
OHHH BOY THIS MOVIE IS SOOO GOOOD, You really need to watch " EL HOYO "
btw thats EU SPANISH :D , theres EU SPANISH, South american SA , and Latinamerican spanish :p
Please consider reacting to”Annabelle: creation” (the 2nd Annabelle in the conjuring universe) is the only 100% rotten tomatoe rated horror film and it’s AMAZING! Honestly!
Even though I'm not a big zombie movie fan, I always wanted to see this, so thank you for reacting to it. It was really intense and surprisingly good.
It’s from Spain. Great film and reaction! Keep it up y’all!
This is for the Mrs., when Mr. said "up & down" for the violation the reporter made while playing basketball, he was right as well. Technically in the NBA, it is a form of traveling. Everyone I know who played basketball growing up called it "up & down", not a travel.
I even looked it up on Google and Quora just to see if it was just my specific region, or if it was universal knowledge. Based on my findings, it is pretty much universal.
P.S. The NBA also changed the traveling rule in 2009 (to benefit Lebron James) from 2 steps to 3 steps allowed after picking up the dribble. It is technically called a gather, and then 2 additional steps, but the reality is it is 3 steps.
Thanks Grandaddy Markus - good choice homie, love this movie
