Another [REC] fan here. Having seen both, I give the edge to the original if only because the actors in the remake are too recognizable for the conceit to hold up, as it did in Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project, that we're watching actual events caught by a camera — not that we'd literally believe that anyway, but an anonymous cast helps us to agree to buy into it for the purposes of the filmmaking.
