It's really unfortunate that they decided to do a remake rather than release the original here in the US... One of the things that made [REC] so effective, I think, was that I had no idea who any of the actors were. Without any familiar faces, it was extremely easy to suspend disbelief, which made [REC] that much scarier. I can't watch the trailers for Quarantine without thinking, "Oh, look, it's Dexter's sister."
