John Erick Dowdle's "Quarantine" hit theaters this weekend, and while I didn't exactly adore this horror flick, I have to admit it didn't turn out just as bad as I thought it would. The film is a remake of acclaimed Spanish movie "[Rec]," which still hasn't made it over here. Let's see what people say about the new version:

• Cinematical's William Goss: "After a numbing amount of scare-free studio offerings, a jolt or two is all it takes to please a genre fan, and there are defintely some fun jolts to be found scattered throughout the flick -- even if they are second-hand."

• Cinema Blend's Mack Rawden: "The camerawork is shaky. The glitz is non-existent. And the final product is remarkably average. This is what the horror genre has become."

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "Every single one of these characters make bad choices and there is nothing logical behind them."

• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejects: "The action is top-notch, especially for such an intimate film. And the violence, while off-putting to the weak-stomached, is powerful, creepy and terrifying."

• Collider's Brian Orndorf: "'Quarantine' is the unavoidable American replica, only this version has ingested a bottle of idiot pills and washed it all down with a full glass of directorial incompetence."
