This movie is scary... the hand held camera style shoot is actually what made this movie more realistically terrifying than any other zombies movies out there. I know this is a remake from the original Spanish movie called Rec... but i never seen it... however I really enjoy this one. Did you guys seen Quarantine yet... what do you think?

You should watch [REC]. I haven't seen either, but I've heard [REC] is one of the best horror films of the decade, while Quarantine is just another mediocre remake.

I'd wouldn't go so far as to say [REC] is one of the best and/or scariest films of the decade. It was a good movie at first viewing but watching it again the film didn't hold up.

Quarantine sucked big time. Watch [REC] instead, it's way better since Quarantine is just an English rip-off cause it's the same thing. As much as I loved [REC], I wouldn't say it's the best Zombie movie ever made.

No. That would be reserved for the 28 Days/Weeks series. None traditional "zombies" that make Romero zombies look timid and safe.

As far as story, characters and settings go, I'd put Dead Rising up for the best traditional "zombie movie." Even though its a game, it has a better story, more likable characters and much better cinematography than any zombie movie I've ever seen.

I agree. I loved the characters in Dead Rising. Hopefully the sequel lives up to the first.

I know that REC may be way better than this one... but the point is that both of these movies are scary as hell... it was like there was no actors or anything... it made you feel that they were real people and this was happening which made it scary. There aren't any new horror flicks out there right now that will actually scare the **** out of you. Both of these movie did something new after Blair Witch by using hand held camera style. Please name me couple of scary film that will actually give you nightmares... I haven't watch the Unborn... i heard that suck too.

"But things have changed in Dead Rising 2. The zombie infestation is, seemingly, no longer an isolated incident. The plague has spread unchecked throughout the United States.

It looks like Dead Rising 2 will be taking place in a Vegas-like setting and apparently star someone seen wearing a leather racing jacket and, in one shot, riding an off-road motorcycle. Safe money is on this new character being a racer or stunt driver."

Thats not frank......frank isnt blonde, this is supposed to be several years after willamete

You can dye Frank's hair at cosmetic stores and [spoiler] he and Isabela survive the outbreak in the "true," canonical ending. [/spoiler] There is nothing to say it isn't Frank. Once it does, I'll be fine with it, but it sure looks like him.

meh it was a love hate relationship xD sometimes i hated frank, during gameplay i'd curse him out and call em old bastid and stuff, but yea, such an underrated game, it was THE reason i bought a 360. i wont miss the camera though, you seen the trailer ? i wonder if Frank & Isabella will make an appearance on this one, i just hope this one has an even better story than the first, better characters, better psychos etc, though the first was great, now that the second one is on ps3, im debating whether to get it on 360 or PS3, i still have to re-beat it again, i reformated the harddrive T_T which sucks cause i had everything

Same. Funny thing was, I played through the entire game, including overtime mode on a friend's 360 but still had to play more so got it for myself. It is one of the only games over the past several years that I have actually played all the way through more than a few times. I think the run I am working on now is my 6th or 7th run of the game... and I still have 5/7 day survivor left along with a bunch of the survivor rescue and photograph achievements. Doubt I'll ever do them but I still want to.

I am getting it for PC. The fact that there could be mods for the game makes it an instant purchase for PC, no questions asked. Especially considering how much I wanted more areas while playing the first game... to have an infinite amount of possibilities makes it an easy choice.

great, except there wasnt a zombie in sight in the 28 days later movie, they had a virus, a rabbies like virus that causes you to go mad, they did not ever fall down and die at one point when they were bitten that = Not zombies

but meh ive seen a lot of new age zombie films, and to tell you the truth, they're all meh, none of them touch Romero's classic, he is the orignator and creator ! (haha little richards words), the best REAL new age zombie movie ive seen was the Remake of Romero's Dawn of the dead, and thats probably why i liked dead rising so much because it was in a mall :P

It's a freakin' shot for shot remake. For some reason Hollywood thinks Spanish people are to 'foreign' for Americans. They could have at least dubbed the [REC], but then no one would be lining their wallets with $100 bills... It's sad to see that the original movie, a brilliant piece of cinema, is not aired as is to the world.

I have no interest in seeing this. I'm sorry, but all handheld automatically=bad for me. I just can't sit through something so well...trashy. Handheld has it's place in cinema, but movies that are shot entirely this way (specifically the shakey cam style)are just plain ugly.

I prefer [REC] personally. Qurantine was fun and had really great moments, but it lost the incredibly tense atmosphere [REC] had. The acting wasn't as good either but that's mostly due to how [REC] was filmed (the actors only knew the lines of the scenes and didn't know what was going to happen). I'd say Quarantine was good as far as remakes go but some stuff was definitely lost in translation.

Agreed, and the whole 'They weren't zombies' debate is pathetic. It is still very much comparable to all the other zombie movies out there.
