The First Five Minutes of Spanish Thrilla '[REC] 2'

This might look familiar to you, and chances are, it should be the other way around. The thing this video reminds most American audiences of will be Quarantine, a low-budget horror movie from 2008. However, that was the English language remake of [REC], a Spanish film that never arrived in the US. And this is its sequel. [REC] 2 will be in theaters next year, according to Bloody Disgusting, so that's a step in the right direction. And through BD (and Allocine), we have the first five minutes of the sequel. It picks up almost immediately after the original concludes, with a SWAT team arriving on the scene of the quarantined building to uncover just what the hell has happened inside. And it's not pleasant. I always like it in situations like this when the filmmakers who crafted the first film still feel the love enough to come back for round two. Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza are in charge again, which could make this a seamless follow-up. Check it out:

I wish it went about another 30 seconds. I have a feeling we were about to be in for something there. Anyway, it's doing well enough overseas that there is already talk of a [REC] 3, so get on this one while you're still ahead of the curve.

Hey Colin, you say that the original never made it to the U.S. but in fact it was released on DVD this last summer. I highly recommend it to any horror fans out there! I can't wait for this sequel.
