'Quarantine' web reviews

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."

Review: "Quarantine"

Seen on: October 10, 2008

The players: Director: John Erick Dowdle, Writers: John Erick Dowdle, Drew Dowdle, Cast: Jennifer Carpenter, Jay Hernandez, Columbus Short, Johnathon Schaech, Steve Harris

Facts of interest: Based on the Spanish original flick "[Rec]."

The plot: An infamous anti-American documentary filmmaker is visited by three ghosts who show him why there's no room for too much liberalism in the United States.

Our thoughts: Hollywood’s latest remake of a foreign film is “Quarantine,” based on Jaume Balagueró’s acclaimed Spanish flick “[Rec].” I haven’t seen the original yet and can’t comment on how similar the two movies are, but looking solely at the new version, I have to admit I’m decently surprised by the result.
