Why won't they just give movies like this a chance in major multiplexes? You know how many people would have seen this or REC if they had done that?

I'm glad you guys bring attention to the movies that really do deserve it. :) I swear, studios must think general audiences are mentally challenged or that they have a subtitle phobia.
