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.
