Movie Connections:

Remake of [Rec] (2007)

Real horror!!!

Why, oh why are you doing this? Is it really necessary to throw money in this manner? What is the problem with Hollywood these days? Is it something that they hate about European face? Do they have so much money that they can't get rid of it in any other way than throwing it away? I speak a couple of languages and me, and my friends, would have dubbed it for you for much less. Although Spanish isn't my first choice I would have managed. Anyhow this movie (and some other translations) are a disgrace to Hollywood movie industry and an insult to the American people. Why an insult? Because Hollywood and sponsors who are paying for this film are clearly stating that the American people can't read, write or hear anything. I'm giving it a 1 even without seeing it because I won't even see it. I'm not interested in some petty director who is making his way up by paying somebody for some work that his compatriots will believe to be his. I can state now that I wont ever see a film made by this director and I think that anybody who has seen Rec will agree with me on this one. You can't better or equal Rec, you can only do worse.
