** out of **** You might as well not listen to anything I say in this review. "Quarantine" was not made for me, or anybody who saw the original film that it is based off of, "REC". It was impossible for me to enjoy myself, as the film doesn't intend on delivering much new; but maybe that's what some people will like about it. Formula works with some people and tells others, almost instantly, to stay far away. The formula that "Quarantine" is using works, but that doesn't … more

I love these shaky camera movies. Movies like these really ramp up the tension for the viewers. Quarentine was a great movie. Yeah I know its a zombie flick GOD KNOWS HOW MANY OF THOSE IVE SEEN. But what makes Quarentine different from all ths others is where it takes place and the circumstances that the characters find themselves in. Quarentine like all horror movies starts off mondane, then quckly makes its way to the supernatural.The basic plot of the movie is that a new network whats to do a … more

As I write this I am watching Quarantine for the second time. Why? I have no idea. The first time I saw this movie all I knew was that it was shot like Cloverfield and Blair Witch. I could infer from the title that we were dealing with some bio/chemical outbreak. Because I first saw the movie on OnDemand I didn't know that *SPOILER* the ending of the movie was on the dvd cover (and in the trailer) So that was my first problem (what movie does that???!!!) … more

I am not exactly fond of remakes. True, some of my favorite films like Cronenberg's "The Fly" and Carpenter's "The Thing" were major remakes which are arguably better than the original. I do somewhat believe that sometimes remakes are necessary because of the generation and the age of the original. However, the recent remakes of Asian horror were more disasters than successes. (I think "The Ring" was the last decent Asian horror remake) "Quarantine" … more

QUARANTINE Angela is a reporter who is working a story on a local fire department; she is having fun but is looking to go out on a call. So she films herself hanging out with and playing around with the firemen waiting to get some really good footage. She finally gets her wish when the alarm goes off and every one is rushing to the fire trucks. When they come across the building the call came from they notice it is not on fire, but something wicked is waiting inside. Turns … more

Such a pointless plot, it made no sense and thought they were clever with the "camera eye". Been there, done that.

A movie filled with bad acting, horrid camera work, and a predictable storyline, all based around a form of rabies. A bad attempt at a scary movie.

This review will contain spoilers. You've been warned. When I first even heard of Quarantine, I was at a rental shop checking out some games for the Nintendo Wii, and the cashier was watching it on a TV next to the register. At first I thought I was watching the Blair Witch Project due to the style of filming the movie incorporates; all shot from the perspective of one of the actors on a hand-held camera. Instantly intrigued, I shortly thereafter sat down with … more

Quarantine is a creepy remake of the Spanish film REC (which is far superior). A news reporter and her camera man are shooting a story about a firefighting crew. One night the crew receives an emergency call to a apartment complex. What they inside will lead to a night of horror as they find out that the building has been pit under a mandatory quarantine, leaving the people inside to deal with whatever the government authorities do not want to leave the building. Inside the news reporter, her cameraman … more

A fire crew, reporter and camera man get locked in an apartment building where the residents have a rabies-style zombie disease spreading on the inside. The building is under quarantine by CDC, and one-by-one everybody dies (about 20 people)? I can imagine [REC] is a far superior film, but I still enjoyed this, hunkered down on the sofa tending a cold. The cast do a pretty good job with the material, and the pace is well-maintained up until the last 20 minutes (more so than The Blair … more
