i'm obsessed with how mild the subtitles make everything seem when the original audio has the characters cursing their heads off the entire time, they took "APAGA LA PUTA CAMARA DE UNA PUTAMADRE VEZ" and made it "please turn off the fucking camera :)"
Fun story: this movie was the most memorable horror experience I've ever had. Not only is it the best found-footage horror movie I've ever seen up to this point, but back when I saw it I knew NOTHING about it. Literally nothing. I had no hype, I didn't even know it was a horror movie, me and my dad just put it to play because it looked like a thriller or something. I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT I EXPERIENCED.
Tell me about that, I was only 10 years old when I saw this movie for the first time (which was the year it was released). My cousin brought it on dvd to my house and we watched it and he kept saying it was real and I totally believed it. This scared the shit out of me (I think if you're a Spanish speaker it hits you differently, I'm Latina so I can tell it does) I was so bewildered after this movie that I started reading a novel we were reading at school to clear my mind and not have nightmares. Even so, I am very fond of this movie and its sequels, except for the fourth part
@@arkantos2227 I meant it as in, when I watched The Exorcist for example, it was decades after the movie released and it was already considered a classic, I already knew about it, I had seen a couple scenes, all that. Not everyday I get to watch what I consider a new classic horror movie with zero prior knowledge, no hype, no expectations, nothing, to just get completed blown away by.
8:07 The primary reason people always squirt a little bit of liquid out before administering a shot is to make sure there are no more air bubbles remaining. There are two main reasons why you'll want to remove air bubbles. 1. To make sure you are giving the proper dosage of whatever you're administering and 2. If you're doing a vascular injection, a bubble can cause an air embolism, which can be fatal!
I have a fascination with medical history and wonder how many people died before they figured out that air bubble thing. I use a syringe with water for art sometimes and love playing nurse and squeezing out the air lol.
you dont do this, all injections are in presealed needles that contain no air and only the liquid. All this does is waste the liquid and prevents the accurate dose to be administered. This is like some 90’s action movie stuff. It doesn’t happen in actual medical settings.
Foreign horror is a whole other level! Especially in this format! I suggest if you want a good scare, watch Veronica. It’s considered the Spanish version of The Conjuring, by the same director of Rec. 😈
Veronica is legit one of the scariest horror movies I've ever seen, specially knowing it's based on a real case that the police itself had to put "supernaturall stuff" as the official conclusion for it
Surprisingly I don't feel the same about Veronica, it was really hyped up and for some reason it didn't hit for me personally. It was scary for a few seconds then it kinda flopped imo. And I enjoy all kinds of horror, from the more subtle haunts, to the campy horror, and the straight up jump scare fest.
One thing that they did and I found scary was how instead of loud jumpscares they just let the creature hang in the background or in a reflection while the camera slowly pans around the room, letting you notice at your own time and give yourself a heart attack going "oh mY GOD IT'S THERE"
id love to see her do "as above, so below" next. much like rec*, ive always felt like it excells in making you feel unease with camera tricks and chaos
Yes!!!!! There have only ever been a few movies that have ever giving me such an unsettling feeling... it actually took me a while to fall asleep after watching
The bad thing about subtitles when you don't need them (because you understand the language) is that in too many times they will spoil you what a character is going to reply to the other in the next 2-3 seconds. That and the fact that your eyes keep instinctively looking at the bottom of the screen even when you don't need the text to understand what's being said. For instance, I'm Spanish and I kept reading the English subtitles of this video for no reason at all 🤣
The story doesn't end here, I recommend watching REC 2. Set in the same building, right after REC ends, it's like Aliens to Alien, with a SWAT team, an exorcist priest and some dumb teenagers. Crazy, fun stuff, filmed in found footage style too.
One of my favs. I love that moment where the little girl chooses to run up stairs rather than attack the group when she's revealed to be infected, as it lets you know there's something more going on than just zombies. It does take the next film to flesh out some of those ideas, and I do recommend it as it's also p crazy.
I was in Spain last year and I was able to see the building that they actually filmed in! It was amazing! Got a few photos in front of it and I absolutely see it as a highlight for my first time overseas.I would highly recommend the rest of the series! Part 2 picks up minutes after this one. Part 3 is a really fun time all on its own that changes the game a bit. Part 4 makes changes to the general storytelling, but continues with Part 1 and 2.
Oddly enough the sequels are actually pretty good with this. Also you don't need to watch Quarantine because it's almost literally a shot-for-shot remake in English.
That staircase shot was genuinely one of the scariest things I have ever seen from a horror movie. I had to sleep with the lights on after watching this whole goddamn movie lmao.
Fun Fact: The super tall thin zombie at the end is an actor named Javier Botet who has a medical condition that gave him super long thin limbs and appendages. He has done a bunch of horror movies and its perfect because for me his body is right in the uncanny valley.
REC really is a great found footage movie and a great horror movie too. Another great found footage movie is Chronicle. It’s basically a superhero movie but found footage. It also has some horror elements to it. Some moments in it actually scared me when I first watched it. Also the cinematography and what they do with the camera in that movie is very creative and unique. The story is genuinely good with some great acting and a pretty good cast too. Even if you don’t do a reaction to it you should definitely just give it a watch. You won’t regret it.
This is my absolute favourite found footage film! It's just fantastic, and I'm really glad you watched it in Spanish, because I don't think it's that great dubbed over, never hits the same 🤷🏻♀️
Fun fact: The "Niña de Medeiros" at the end of the movie is actually a real actor who was born with physical malformation, and actually appeared on some famous horror movies like "Mama".
I remember the 3rd one is a prequel. It happens at a wedding and the veterinary of this girl's dog is one of the attendants. Therefore how the military and health dept and stuff knew about the virus and tracked down the dog's owner to this building. Now, if you're going to watch that one keep in mind it has a more comedic tone and it doesn't take itself as serious as this one.
I love this movie. I'm from Chile and I really enjoy watching English-speaking youtubers react to this masterpiece from Spain. Thanks for reacting to this in its original audio ❤
When we(my friends and I) first watched REC, we were doing a horror movie night. When demon Jennifer came on screen we just chanted "punt that demon baby!"
Oh yeah, how nice, thanks so much for reaching to this one ❤ And thank you for watching it in the original language. Btw, REC 2 follows immediately to this one, worth watching. But I wouldn't follow the thrid and 4th... They had more budge and they lost the essense.
It made me feel cool that I understood both you and the film as Spanish is the language I grew up speaking (and still do lol). But yaaay! I'm not the biggest fan of found footage but I adore this film. So scary and good.
Soy español, me encanta el terror, he visto cientos de películas y os aseguro que REC es una obra maestra del género de metraje encontrado. Lo tiene absolutamente todo: una ubicación real, personajes convincentes, la duración perfecta, el ritmo, la escalada de tensión, un final terrorífico... la debo de haber visto mínimo diez veces. Me alegra enormemente ver que gente de otros países, incluso que no habla español, la tiene en tan buena estima. Ninguno de los dos directores: Jaume Balagueró y Paco Plaza han vuelto a hacer algo tan bueno, ni por separado ni juntos. De todas las secuelas de REC, la única que mantiene el tipo es la segunda, aunque es claramente inferior, porque es que la primera es una maravilla. La tercera abandona el estilo a mitad de cinta, pareciendo una parodia por momentos y la cuarta es directamente una película de zombis genérica. El año pasado salió un documental en el que los directores cuentan muchos pormenores del rodaje. Para mí, Manuela Velasco, a pesar de haberla visto hasta en culebrones televisivos siempre será Ángela Vidal.
Rec is absolutely one of the best found footage horror movies. I still remember in high school my movie buff friend heard about this movie, found a version online, and got a whole bunch of us to watch it. It was broad daylight and like 10 people in his living room and we were still all freaking out.
Yes! I watched the behind the scenes of every Rec movies and this whole Rec Franchise is freaking masterpiece. The director and the cameraman is really coordinated while filming and I've never seen such sync while they doin it.
"Quarantine" is the american remake of this movie. It stars the actress who played Deb, Dexter's sister in the tv show "Dexter". And yes, there is a REC 2.
Rec and Rec 2 are two of my favourite horror flicks! There's also the American remake of Rec called "Quarantine". Not quite as good as the original, but it's in English.
For me found footage films work better if there is a reason for the camera being there. A news or documentary crew, or even just a couple recording weird stuff happening in their house, I'll buy it. If it's just a random group of people with their phones or cameras out, i.e., Cloverfield, that's harder to buy into. It might be an age bias for me.
This was one of my favorite "modern" classic horror movies from the past 2 decades, along with Sinister and Insidious, Paranormal Activity. Glad you didn't watch Quarantine (the american shot by shot remake of REC). The foreign language and maybe B movie quality sometimes give movies more authenticity and believability? IF that's a word. Feels more real. Same reason why you should maybe check out the Japanese Grudge too (Ju-on series).
I honestly just couldn't take Sinister seriously. And, honestly, it all came down to the most minor of things. Dude never once turned on a damn light switch like the **entire movie.** Like, "bruh!" So I was literally in my head the entire movie going "dude, ya' gonna' turn on a light switch yet? How 'bout now? Now? Still haven't? Why not? Dude, c'mon..." Just ended up rolling my eyes throughout. If not for that, then maybe I'd have liked it better. Like, even if you just do something stupid like have the lights blow out, or the power fail, fine, but never even trying? Just couldn't ever get past it. Kept taking me out of "suspension of disbelief." Insidious, I loved. Paranormal Activity was pretty decent. Though I love Grave Encounters [the first one]... As Above, So Below is also one of my favorites of modern horror / found footage. Occulus was also good, IIRC. And plenty of others. The Other Side of the Door. The Forest. The Night House. etc.
Please watch the rest in the series. Part 2 continues from where this one left off. You also get to see what's happening outside and we learn what the infected really are. Hints are at the end of part 1. Part 3 is a sub story that takes place somewhere else. The vet mentioned in this movie plays a part in it. It also ditches the found footage camera. Part 4 continues Angela's story, very different in the location and also not a found footage movie. There is a remake of the first movie called Quarantine and it's in English. Pretty much the same story, except they changed something that most fans of REC hated. There is also a Quarantine 2 but it's not a remake.
omg, I'm so happy you reacted to this movie! It's one of my favorites because I'm a huge fan of found footage and after seeing the two movies (I heard the third and last movies were bad, so I didn't watch them), I can say the first one is iconic. I can't wait to see your reaction!
The subtitles have to be short so they can be read quickly, which comes at the cost of properly conveying how the characters talk and their subtle differences with each other. It can be summarized as "everybody panics and acts agressively while speaking faster than eminem". That being said, I'm really happy you decided to watch the OG version with subs, and I'm happy it managed to be entertaining anyways! The movie can have some questionable camera movements and flashing lights, probably product of being filmed in 2007 when they didn't care about these things, but it definitely ends up making everything feel like a real live report going rogue in return!
20:28 That’s the possessed Portuguese girl however many years after the resident of the penthouse got her. It seems like he was trying to distill the evil in her blood somehow and actually found a physical enzyme. Which is insane. Tested it on the dog. Set off the movie.
An interesting fact is that the actors reactions on the horrible things are often 100% real. The actors only knew their lines and what they have to do. But what the other actors had to do or what happened on the set they didnt knew so every big reaction from the actors are not acting its real. The whole crew had to pretend their lines and things they do on Set as a secret so noone ever knew what happends next. The directors always had an eye on the Set that everything looks as real as possible. So they never reveal the whole story and where it going to end even Manuela Velasco (Angela Vidal) didn't know what will be happened at the end of the movie and the shock and fear wich she had on in the movie at the end was not acting it was real
My dad doesn't like horror/terror movies (he doesn't like anything that is not "realistic") so when i set up movie night with him i just told him this was like a documentary thing. He's a retired cop so he was immediatly taken with the firemen arriving at the emergency and as the police guy was approaching the old lady he was telling me about some calls and that sometimes you don't know the context for the calls to an emergency situation. And then everything else happened and although he doesn't like zombies/demonic stuff he really holds this movie to a high standard cause for the first half an hour i convinced him this was a real thing that happened :D Edit: I must also add that it helped that this movie was Spanish cause we're peruvian and we are used to hollywood stuff and at the time he didn't understand english so to him they sound a certain way and because this was spanish everything felt more real to him.
Some fun facts about the movie! The "little girl" at the end is actually a real actor and his name is Javier Botet, he was born with a rare syndrome that makes him taller, skinnier and more flexible than any average people, he has starred as the monster role in many films like mama and slenderman, and he delivers! Another fact is that some situations on scenes in this movie weren't told to the actors, like the man falling from the stairs, this was so their reactions would be legitimate and thus induce a lot more anxiety and fear on the audience
HI HELLO HI OH MY GOD I’M SO EXCITED AHSKSHSJSJF this is one of my favourite franchises ever, I’m SO HAPPY you’re reacting to this now let me watch it real quick 🤣🙌🏻👏🏻
I'm back! That was SO FUN to see you reacting to it. You're so right that it's SO incredibly intense. And the acting is so fantastic like you forget it's 'found footage'?? I just love it. The second film will go more into the possession side of things by the way, and it will explain more about the story that they reveal at the end! You better react to that too eeehh! ALSO bless you for finding it in its original language and not watching it dubbed because that would have been so horrible 🤣
I love REC! The first one is a classic, watching this movie in the original language is more natural. I hope you watch REC 2, it's awesome and crazier. REC 3 and 4 are not well-liked but appreciate what they were trying to do so and I respect that they kept the underlined tone narrative of the whole series.
Watching the movie in spanish but reading the subtitules in english WHILE listening to caitlin speak english and translating what she's saying to spanish... my most biligual moment ever
If you haven’t really done a lot of foreign horror, I highly recommend stuff like The Wailing, Train to Busan, The Medium, Martyrs, Ju-On, Ringu, Kairo, Audition, Noroi: The Curse, The Sadness, Satan’s Slaves 1 & 2, Impetigore, Dark Water, Let The Right One In, and Raw, among others. Lots of great horror out there.
I have the same love for Found Footage, almost a guilty pleasure(?), given that I will watch even a crap horror movie provided it was Found Footage- even the V/H/S sequels, and weird ones like The Bay, or Banshee Chapter. Also noticed you cover DDLC, defo going to check that out as well Keep up the good content!
I was holding my laught when you said YOU BETTER DON'T SHOVE ME UP THERE I DON'T WANT TO HAHHAHA i felt the same like... you go up there bitch, let me stay here minding my business!!
My favorite found footage will always be VHS 1 & 2 .. once you see A Sexy Vampire Abduct an Annoying Frat Boy, and later an Alien Invasion Slumber Party.. your expectations for found footage will be set on new bars.. i saw both premieres at Sundance back to back.. amazing crowd, the filmmakers were present.. definitely peak Found Footage .. must watch!!!
There is another spanish movie that I recommend you: Tesis. It is not exactly a horror movie, but it is quite disturbing and really interesting. Cheers from Spain (I love your reactions)
If I remember correctly they used a custom camera rig for the camera man "Pablo" to wear so that they could have all of that movement while still being stable enough for viewing. The woman with the mallet in the end is actually a man who's just wearing facial prosthetics and special effects make up, dude has marfan syndrome which makes his fingers and appendages really thin and long which gives him the perfect look for a character like that.
Rec plays a lot with the whole ordeal with superstitions, it sets up the movie to be a typical “oh no it’s a bio weapon type of situation!” But at the end it hits you with the “Oh shit it’s actual a demonic possession situation!” Which plays heavily to many fears among religious folk, and non religious folk alike
Speaking of Spanish language films, definitely watch Cronos, Devil's Backbone, and Pan's Labrynth. All films from Guillermo Del Toro. He's got other fantasy horror element films.
I had heard of this movie before I watched it but never really looked into it much. it was not till 2019 when I finally watched this film while staying at a family friend’s house that weekend one night on quite loud volume. For someone who hardly gets scared of found footage movies, this legitimately terrified me awake nearly all night. I had to stay in a camper that weekend and even thought it was right near the house, I ran there very quick when I went there to go to sleep
imaging see this when comes out as a child with my mom and both of us SCREAMING the whole movie because we had friends living in Barcelona in the apartment next to filming this 😂
12:44 I started giggling at, "Not the mallet. Sir, are you going to mallet a little girl?" Something about that phrase + the look on your face was hilarious... cut to 12 seconds later... 12:56 "Oh my god, kick her! You know what? Just kick her in the head; kick her in the head." Holy Hell, I laughed so hard.
You are right! The great thing about this film is that the first part is like a zombie movie and then finally you find out there were a horrible demonic posession going on. (It's explained in detail in REC 2)
I would love to see you play Fran Bow! The 2D style and fantastical horror elements is similar to Neverending Nightmares and I think you would really like it
REC is most likely the scariest film of all time. The only movie I see come close to it is The Descent but that wasn't as creepy as this. In my opinion one of the best claustrophobic horror movies I've ever seen. 9/10. It would have been a 10/10 if it was a little bit longer it felt very short. They could of extended it for like a half an hour. I loved the concept being demon, zombie and spreading virus it was so intriguing. The sequel is great too. Quarantine wishes it was REC. The Blair Witch Project is the only contender I can see for found footage but that's not as good as this even if it is well done. REC might be the shortest full length movie ever but goddamn if it didn't creep me out.
This is my favorite found footage and the second one Rec 2 is just as good, maybe better, and it will answer your questions. Anyway I'm so happy you did this one, it goes by very quickly and they pack a lot in there.

I love that film, also Grave Encounters is another fantastic found footage horror 😊

I always have subtitles on, even if the language is in English. It's kinda like reading the script of the film, and I never miss anything.

Subtitles are so addictive, if I don't have subtitles now I only know 50% of what people are saying 😅
Well, with this alien subtitles you get more of less 50% MINUS about what they are saying. At least on the intensivity.
This is one of my first horror movies i have watched ,i was 13 . And still,to this day it's one of my favs. Found footage classic!
Sameeee

De todas las secuelas de REC, la única que mantiene el tipo es la segunda, aunque es claramente inferior, porque es que la primera es una maravilla. La tercera abandona el estilo a mitad de cinta, pareciendo una parodia por momentos y la cuarta es directamente una película de zombis genérica.
El año pasado salió un documental en el que los directores cuentan muchos pormenores del rodaje. Para mí, Manuela Velasco, a pesar de haberla visto hasta en culebrones televisivos siempre será Ángela Vidal.
i just saw this movie a few weeks ago and i loved it! glad you’re reacting to it now! found footage movies are the best horror movies 🎥
Rec is absolutely one of the best found footage horror movies. I still remember in high school my movie buff friend heard about this movie, found a version online, and got a whole bunch of us to watch it. It was broad daylight and like 10 people in his living room and we were still all freaking out.
Yes! I watched the behind the scenes of every Rec movies and this whole Rec Franchise is freaking masterpiece. The director and the cameraman is really coordinated while filming and I've never seen such sync while they doin it.
SO happy you watched this! REC is the king of found footage!
"Quarantine" is the american remake of this movie. It stars the actress who played Deb, Dexter's sister in the tv show "Dexter". And yes, there is a REC 2.
8:06 The reason they squirt a little out is to get rid of any air bubbles in the syringe. Air into the bloodstream can cause strokes or heart attacks.
I love the twist of making it a demonic possession that is contagious.
Huh, I always thought the priest figured out possession was a biological thing.
@@FallenRingbearer same thing I think, I ain't no scientist
@@FallenRingbearer It seams that in ReC 2 you found is a possession that have one contagious factor
I’m so glad you watched it Spanish cuz this movie has been one of my favorite movies!
The fact some of these shots are uncut is amazing. If you were looking for the english remake it was titled Quarantine (2008).
Rec and Rec 2 are two of my favourite horror flicks!
There's also the American remake of Rec called "Quarantine". Not quite as good as the original, but it's in English.
And it has Jennifer Carpenter! ❤
There's a Quarantine 2 as well, which goes in a completely different direction than REC 2.
For me found footage films work better if there is a reason for the camera being there. A news or documentary crew, or even just a couple recording weird stuff happening in their house, I'll buy it. If it's just a random group of people with their phones or cameras out, i.e., Cloverfield, that's harder to buy into. It might be an age bias for me.
This was one of my favorite "modern" classic horror movies from the past 2 decades, along with Sinister and Insidious, Paranormal Activity. Glad you didn't watch Quarantine (the american shot by shot remake of REC). The foreign language and maybe B movie quality sometimes give movies more authenticity and believability? IF that's a word. Feels more real. Same reason why you should maybe check out the Japanese Grudge too (Ju-on series).
THATS WHY I KNOW THIS MOVIE. I WATCHED QUARANTINE
I honestly just couldn't take Sinister seriously. And, honestly, it all came down to the most minor of things. Dude never once turned on a damn light switch like the **entire movie.** Like, "bruh!" So I was literally in my head the entire movie going "dude, ya' gonna' turn on a light switch yet? How 'bout now? Now? Still haven't? Why not? Dude, c'mon..." Just ended up rolling my eyes throughout. If not for that, then maybe I'd have liked it better. Like, even if you just do something stupid like have the lights blow out, or the power fail, fine, but never even trying? Just couldn't ever get past it. Kept taking me out of "suspension of disbelief."
Insidious, I loved. Paranormal Activity was pretty decent. Though I love Grave Encounters [the first one]... As Above, So Below is also one of my favorites of modern horror / found footage.
Occulus was also good, IIRC. And plenty of others. The Other Side of the Door. The Forest. The Night House. etc.
Please watch the rest in the series. Part 2 continues from where this one left off. You also get to see what's happening outside and we learn what the infected really are. Hints are at the end of part 1. Part 3 is a sub story that takes place somewhere else. The vet mentioned in this movie plays a part in it. It also ditches the found footage camera. Part 4 continues Angela's story, very different in the location and also not a found footage movie. There is a remake of the first movie called Quarantine and it's in English. Pretty much the same story, except they changed something that most fans of REC hated. There is also a Quarantine 2 but it's not a remake.
REC 1, 2 & 4, then REC 3 as a side-story. Probably the best watching order?
REC 2 was decently good but it did not really feel as scary as the first one to me. HATED REC 3 and wasn’t too big of a fan of REC 4 either
omg, I'm so happy you reacted to this movie! It's one of my favorites because I'm a huge fan of found footage and after seeing the two movies (I heard the third and last movies were bad, so I didn't watch them), I can say the first one is iconic. I can't wait to see your reaction!
The subtitles have to be short so they can be read quickly, which comes at the cost of properly conveying how the characters talk and their subtle differences with each other. It can be summarized as "everybody panics and acts agressively while speaking faster than eminem". That being said, I'm really happy you decided to watch the OG version with subs, and I'm happy it managed to be entertaining anyways! The movie can have some questionable camera movements and flashing lights, probably product of being filmed in 2007 when they didn't care about these things, but it definitely ends up making everything feel like a real live report going rogue in return!
20:28 That’s the possessed Portuguese girl however many years after the resident of the penthouse got her. It seems like he was trying to distill the evil in her blood somehow and actually found a physical enzyme. Which is insane. Tested it on the dog. Set off the movie.
An interesting fact is that the actors reactions on the horrible things are often 100% real.
The actors only knew their lines and what they have to do. But what the other actors had to do or what happened on the set they didnt knew so every big reaction from the actors are not acting its real. The whole crew had to pretend their lines and things they do on Set as a secret so noone ever knew what happends next.
The directors always had an eye on the Set that everything looks as real as possible. So they never reveal the whole story and where it going to end even Manuela Velasco (Angela Vidal) didn't know what will be happened at the end of the movie and the shock and fear wich she had on in the movie at the end was not acting it was real
I never suggest this because I thought you have watched it already. But this is a franchise, the first two are the best ones. Just amazing.
My dad doesn't like horror/terror movies (he doesn't like anything that is not "realistic") so when i set up movie night with him i just told him this was like a documentary thing. He's a retired cop so he was immediatly taken with the firemen arriving at the emergency and as the police guy was approaching the old lady he was telling me about some calls and that sometimes you don't know the context for the calls to an emergency situation. And then everything else happened and although he doesn't like zombies/demonic stuff he really holds this movie to a high standard cause for the first half an hour i convinced him this was a real thing that happened :D Edit: I must also add that it helped that this movie was Spanish cause we're peruvian and we are used to hollywood stuff and at the time he didn't understand english so to him they sound a certain way and because this was spanish everything felt more real to him.
I'm spanish and this is the best spanish horror film ever! Love to watch you watching films and your reaction to REC is soooo awesome!!!
Some fun facts about the movie! The "little girl" at the end is actually a real actor and his name is Javier Botet, he was born with a rare syndrome that makes him taller, skinnier and more flexible than any average people, he has starred as the monster role in many films like mama and slenderman, and he delivers! Another fact is that some situations on scenes in this movie weren't told to the actors, like the man falling from the stairs, this was so their reactions would be legitimate and thus induce a lot more anxiety and fear on the audience
HI HELLO HI OH MY GOD I’M SO EXCITED AHSKSHSJSJF this is one of my favourite franchises ever, I’m SO HAPPY you’re reacting to this now let me watch it real quick 🤣🙌🏻👏🏻
I'm back! That was SO FUN to see you reacting to it. You're so right that it's SO incredibly intense. And the acting is so fantastic like you forget it's 'found footage'?? I just love it. The second film will go more into the possession side of things by the way, and it will explain more about the story that they reveal at the end! You better react to that too eeehh! ALSO bless you for finding it in its original language and not watching it dubbed because that would have been so horrible 🤣
I love REC! The first one is a classic, watching this movie in the original language is more natural. I hope you watch REC 2, it's awesome and crazier. REC 3 and 4 are not well-liked but appreciate what they were trying to do so and I respect that they kept the underlined tone narrative of the whole series.
There's four of these. My personal favorite is rec 3. Another great zombie movie is train to Busan
I remember watching this movie several years ago when I was a kid. It's truly amazing, and there's a sequel
Watching the movie in spanish but reading the subtitules in english WHILE listening to caitlin speak english and translating what she's saying to spanish... my most biligual moment ever
If you haven’t really done a lot of foreign horror, I highly recommend stuff like The Wailing, Train to Busan, The Medium, Martyrs, Ju-On, Ringu, Kairo, Audition, Noroi: The Curse, The Sadness, Satan’s Slaves 1 & 2, Impetigore, Dark Water, Let The Right One In, and Raw, among others. Lots of great horror out there.
Nice cos I hated most youtubers who go for the shitty remakes of the japanese horror stuff like Ring and Grudge.. Ugh
I have the same love for Found Footage, almost a guilty pleasure(?), given that I will watch even a crap horror movie provided it was Found Footage- even the V/H/S sequels, and weird ones like The Bay, or Banshee Chapter.
Also noticed you cover DDLC, defo going to check that out as well
Keep up the good content!
I was holding my laught when you said YOU BETTER DON'T SHOVE ME UP THERE I DON'T WANT TO HAHHAHA i felt the same like... you go up there bitch, let me stay here minding my business!!
They made a version in America of this movie is called Quarantine. I remember watching it in cinema with my dad and one scene even made him jump 😂❤
7:58 The reason I can't play these videos aloud....that's just hard to explain but even in context it's like whaa...
19:00 omg you’re always getting shoved in the attic in these horror movies 😂
Omg I'm so happy to see someone reacting to this good movie, especially since it's a spanish language movie, I love it!!! Me encanta, gracias 😭🙏
I remember watching it at a friend's house, we ware on 3rd year of highschool, I was terrified all the way back home
My favorite found footage will always be VHS 1 & 2 .. once you see A Sexy Vampire Abduct an Annoying Frat Boy, and later an Alien Invasion Slumber Party.. your expectations for found footage will be set on new bars.. i saw both premieres at Sundance back to back.. amazing crowd, the filmmakers were present.. definitely peak Found Footage .. must watch!!!
"Why do they always squirt a little out?" To remove any air bubbles. Air bubbles can become lethal in the bloodstream.
REC2 is the directly continuation of the first one, in my opinion, it's the best of the whole saga
I hope you watch all the REC movies because they’re amazing! The work that everyone put in, especially Manuela Velasco, is phenomenal!
Que ilusión me hace que veas esta película!! De las mejores de España 😊😊
There is another spanish movie that I recommend you: Tesis.
It is not exactly a horror movie, but it is quite disturbing and really interesting.
Cheers from Spain (I love your reactions)
Please watch the second, the lore in this saga is amazing, also the other spanish scary movie that I love is “el orfanato”
If I remember correctly they used a custom camera rig for the camera man "Pablo" to wear so that they could have all of that movement while still being stable enough for viewing. The woman with the mallet in the end is actually a man who's just wearing facial prosthetics and special effects make up, dude has marfan syndrome which makes his fingers and appendages really thin and long which gives him the perfect look for a character like that.
Most of the REC movies are amazing. The wedding one (3 I think) was amazing. The Spanish sure know how to do horror.
we squirt a little out first to prevent air bubbles, but we’re usually careful not to waste any 😅
Rec plays a lot with the whole ordeal with superstitions, it sets up the movie to be a typical “oh no it’s a bio weapon type of situation!” But at the end it hits you with the “Oh shit it’s actual a demonic possession situation!” Which plays heavily to many fears among religious folk, and non religious folk alike
OH YESSSS, I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO REACT TO THIS AMAZING MOVIE, LOVED YOUR REACTION❤
Rec 3 is a must watch. It's so good too
Speaking of Spanish language films, definitely watch Cronos, Devil's Backbone, and Pan's Labrynth. All films from Guillermo Del Toro. He's got other fantasy horror element films.
The most unexpected thing here was the Suarez joke 🤣🤣🤣
F* yeah, saw the title and I'm HERE BABY!! LET'S GO!!!! REC ❤ (i hope it's the original)
Yeah it's the original, good stuff.
I had heard of this movie before I watched it but never really looked into it much. it was not till 2019 when I finally watched this film while staying at a family friend’s house that weekend one night on quite loud volume. For someone who hardly gets scared of found footage movies, this legitimately terrified me awake nearly all night. I had to stay in a camper that weekend and even thought it was right near the house, I ran there very quick when I went there to go to sleep
imaging see this when comes out as a child with my mom and both of us SCREAMING the whole movie because we had friends living in Barcelona in the apartment next to filming this 😂
12:44 I started giggling at, "Not the mallet. Sir, are you going to mallet a little girl?"
Something about that phrase + the look on your face was hilarious... cut to 12 seconds later...
12:56 "Oh my god, kick her! You know what? Just kick her in the head; kick her in the head."
Holy Hell, I laughed so hard.
Deserves to return and watch REC2
You are right!
The great thing about this film is that the first part is like a zombie movie and then finally you find out there were a horrible demonic posession going on.
(It's explained in detail in REC 2)
Rec is absolutely amazing loved it one of the best ive seen for sure thanks for reacting 🖤
I would love to see you play Fran Bow! The 2D style and fantastical horror elements is similar to Neverending Nightmares and I think you would really like it
[REC] 2 explains everything about the zombie infection.
Finally REC i have been requesting for this movie for a long time.
Huge crush on the main actress, back then
you have no idea how happy I was to see you react to Rec!
legitimately been on a "She's scared" binge while grinding Destiny 2 content.. i love it here
15:40 I love how you can turn a Horror into a comedy lol.
REC is most likely the scariest film of all time. The only movie I see come close to it is The Descent but that wasn't as creepy as this. In my opinion one of the best claustrophobic horror movies I've ever seen. 9/10. It would have been a 10/10 if it was a little bit longer it felt very short. They could of extended it for like a half an hour. I loved the concept being demon, zombie and spreading virus it was so intriguing. The sequel is great too. Quarantine wishes it was REC. The Blair Witch Project is the only contender I can see for found footage but that's not as good as this even if it is well done. REC might be the shortest full length movie ever but goddamn if it didn't creep me out.
REC is an amazing movie, part 2 gives you some more answers if I remember correctly, the series has 4 movies, great reaction
This is my favorite found footage and the second one Rec 2 is just as good, maybe better, and it will answer your questions. Anyway I'm so happy you did this one, it goes by very quickly and they pack a lot in there.
