Quarantine

[Staal]

Is this one worth watching?

It's a bitch getting your hands on this one in Denmark, but I think I might have found a spot selling this one.

Does it compare with the original Rec. or is this just a waste of money?

I absoloutely loved Rec, so I'm afraid this one might ruin it for me.

i thought it was no very good i dont like those type of movies like clover field.

I saw it at the movies and i liked it, a good story. I haven't seen Rec, so i cannot compare the two. I would read some reviews on the net to get an idea, look on Youtube to see if anyone has posted it, or look through this site i thought there was a thread already? I think i will buy it, when it comes to dvd.

I liked "Rec" alot, why make this when there is already a good and new orginal version. I wont bother see this one. Im very pleased with Rec so yeah.

I was incredibly impressed with Quarantine. I thought that it was well-done, well-acted, and incredibly well-directed. My only problem with the movie is that I found our main heroine to be incredibly obnoxious. However, I thought that the movie captured both human paranoia, human horror, and human and non-human monsters.

I highly recommend Quarantine. While I have not yet seen [Rec] (having a HELL of a time getting my hands on it), Quarantine is an excellent horror movie. I'm actually a bit baffled that more people didn't get into it. I'm wondering if it's:

• The true horror enthusiasts saw the original, loved it, and scoff at the remake

and

• The non-horror enthusiasts just don't like it (they're probably sick of the whole shaky cam thing

Regardless - This movie was incredibly underrated and I recommend it.

This is absolutely the reason (at least for me). Quarantine is just completely lackluster after seeing [REC].

I can definitely respect that. I was actually holding off on seeing the remake just so that my reference for [rec] would be completely untarnished.

I eventually gave in because finding [rec] was becoming neigh impossible (watching it on the internets doesn't count; I don't have a good enough computer screen to do it justice) and I was jonsin for a horror date with My Man. :o

I was surprised - It had me clutching at his arm (been a WHILE since that has happened)... Can't WAIT to see [rec], now.

I really can't be fucked watching [REC] again so I think I'll skip this one.

I dug [REC] but its only a one time only watch for me.

I liked it, I just didn't feel it was very much fun.

It was good for a remake, but nowhere near as good as Rec. The girl is less annoying in Rec, and the ending is a LOT more intense in the orignal version. But I've seen far worse as remakes go, that's for sure.i
