Cut Slide Movie Montage

Got this from Twitter, via Syfy. To me, these types of deaths in movies are the most blood-curdling, but I love 'em!

Warning, this is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. You have been warned.

Remakes: And Sometimes You Straddle the Fence

[REC] was filmed in Barcelona, Spain.
QUARANTINE was filmed in Los Angeles as the remake.

Both films work.

They're both bloody, horrific, and I jumped out of my skin several times during both, although I already knew what would happen in [REC] after seeing its remake last year.


Pretty strange, huh? Seeing the remake before the original.

I can understand why this remake was made. Like the Japanese horror and Korean horror movies that have become very popular, it reflects the country where it was filmed -- the location, the customs/traditions, and more importantly, the language. But some people don't like "foreign films", no matter how good they are. And they especially don't want to see a film in another language with subtitles.

Fortunately, both movies can stand on their own. The DVD of [REC] offers the movie with subtitles or with dubbed voices. I watched [REC] both ways, and the dubbing is just as good, in my honest opinion.

Which version would I suggest you get?
Both of them.
Then have a few friends over. Watch both films, and have a great time discussing the pros and cons.

The Japanese Got It Right Before We Did

Not only are the Japanese masters of horror movies, they've also been doing graphic horror in comics (manga) for decades. I found this bit at the blog Same Hat! Same Hat! Enjoy, and keep clicking to find out more!

ADDENDUM: I already hid this post ready to release when I got my copy of RUE MORGUE #89, and it has a whole article about Bloody Ukiyo-e!
