Exactly, it was frightening to think this seemingly nice wholesome family gave birth to the Boogeyman and nobody knows why. I forgot who said it but they said that we as a culture are so pampered with explanations that there is nothing hidden anymore... and therefor, nothing is scary. It's just like the darkness.
Hot blonde w/ hair down, big tits overflowing out of a tank top, and a cut off mini skirt that shows off the tops of her @ss cheeks....
vs.
Same hot blonde, with big tits, in a tight pencil skirt, and a white silky blouse that has a few buttons undone showing off her décolleté - is more enticing because what's left unseen is up to the man's imagination.
...I get it. Less is more.
...But let's not compare Jaume Balaguero w/ Rob Fucking Zombie. M' kay?
Devil's advocate. Some people can do great prequels but other can't. I don't really want to see another [REC] movie.
I don't really want to see you, but you show up here every day.
BAAAAAM!

I have never seen REC 1 but I have watched Quarantine and went to see REC dos in the cinema!! Dos was pretty cool, the twist was original and freaky as hell...
I was very fond of the twist. It makes [REC] more than just a zombie film.
I enjoyed both [REC] and [REC]2 also Quarantine and Quarantine 2-I liked both twists but I kind of think the American version is scarier because let's face it bioterror is scary the idea of anyone using a disease as weapon is not ficticious -it's been done it could be done again and we might not even know we've been attacked until it's too late to stop it
Personally, I think they are about even right now. I was scared by the American more because I didn't have subtitles trailing me off from the movie. Bio-terror IS a very scary thing and although a new case of Rabies won't turn you into a bat out of hell, the idea of being quarantined against your will with a highly contagious and deadly virus is frightening.
but who's to say that a bio-engineered strain of rabies could do? Rabies is a virus that attacks the central nervous system and turns the brain to mush -who's to say someone wouldnt act like that?
Medically speaking its possible but the odds are pretty slim.
ok granted it's a little farfetched but not impossible
I believe a doctor, Harvard educated, wrote an article for some online publication that stated just how possible a zombie attack is and how medically it could happen. Since new diseases can easily originate from mutated diseases now, it's possible.
They wouldnt necessarily have to be reanimated dead creatures -take the movie "The Children" where some sort of bizarre new virus(which the inferrence is that it is alien to Earth-at one point they show a snowglobe with a house very much like the family's house with snow coming down) the children were sick and crazed and killing the adults and behaving like zombies-but they were still alive. And the end leads you to believe this is happening every where. This isnt so far fetched as there is theory that a killer virus COULD fall in comet dust for example. I believe an episode of "Megadisasters" presented that as a possible disaster scenario(though the virus in question didnt turn them into zombies-but it was fatal and almost 100% communicable as we would have no immunity to something not of this Earth) something to think about anyways
Ah but see, a virus that turns you crazy his plausible, this doctor was talking about how reanimated corpses could theoretically become animated. Essentially, his theory, based on his observations of viruses and post-mortum "death rattles," proves that zombies are very possible.
Oh I understand and that brings me to a question: these things are dead so they are not digesting the flesh they are consuming since the digestive system wouldnt function after death-would they just swell up and explode after consuming a few bodies?
Not entirely sure about that. In this person's theory, the reanimated dead do not posses a craving for human flesh, at least from what I remember. I don't think they would swell up unless they are contained in a pressure tube under heat, much like a coffin. They would decompose and eventually become skeletons. I think the article was on Mental Floss.
It just stands to reason that IF like in the movies they came back and were eating flesh it would have to go somewhere -they couldnt digest so it would just sit there inside them til it was leaking out of their orifices and they couldnt move---or you could wait them out until they decompose so much that they'd turn to a pile of mush
Muscle would decompose before bone and once the muscle is gone or broken the zombie would naturally fall to the ground unable to move.
so if one could stay hidden long enough enough of them would just rot to the point of being puddles more or less
