More on Spanish genre resurgence


Green Cine Daily has a nice piece up here about the recent trend in Spanish genre films. The trend being people making awesome ones. It's similar to the piece I wrote detailing the same trend this year back here. The Green Cine Daily essay is timed to coincide with the release of TIME CRIMES in theaters this week.

The only troubling part about this is the rush to remake these films in America instead of simply releasing the Spanish language versions. I still have not yet seen the film REC from earlier this year, mostly because the remade version, QUARANTINE looked unimpressive. I suppose I should really just get over that though and watch the original. If you have not seen TIME CRIMES do yourself a favor and head to the theaters this week. Hopefully BEFORE THE FALL will be following soon as well.
