[Rec] Redo Trailer Drops
April 11th, 2008 | 10:06 am est |
Audiences fortunate enough to have already seen Juame Belaguero and Paco Plaza’s masterful first-person frightener [Rec] will likely testify that it’s the most terrifying film in the “subjective” horror trend to hit theaters since The Blair Witch Project broke box-office records nearly a decade ago – perhaps packing even more of a punch than Diary of the Dead, legendary filmmaker George A. Romero’s 2007 excursion into the increasingly popular horror sub-genre.
Now, for what may be the very first time, one of these subjective shockers is getting remade in the form of Quarantine, a stateside redo of [Rec] that attempts to translate the terrors Belaguero and Plaza’s highly-effective frightener for American moviegoers. Will the remake pack the punch of the ambitious Spanish original? While only time will tell, for the moment why not have a bit of fun comparing the newly released Quarantine trailer with the original English-language teaser for [Rec]? From the looks of things, Poughkeepsie Tapes masterminds John and Drew Dowdle’s remake has kept many of the original scares intact, a sign that may bode well for fans of the original film.
