I went to see Quarantine last night and it was actually not a bad movie.

Its filmed in the "mocumentary" style on one camera and in one location (well 2 but...) it works quite well. A good simple idea and pretty well directed.

Its a moddern zombie movie in the ranks of "28 days later".
I dont want to give anything away but If you like that sort of movie I can see you enjoying this one :thumbup:
 
I didnt realise it was a full on remake, Il have to have a look see at "Rec". The originlas are usually much better :thumbup:
 
I've never heard of Rec. I'll have to check it out.
 
I saw it and about halfway through began to feel queasy, but not from the content. The 'mocumentary'-style camerawork was the reason. The same thing that happened to me during The Blair Witch Project back in '99(?). I caught an early show, and the motion-sick feeling didn't leave me completely until later that evening.

I had thought it would not bother me, because for some reason, the camerawork in Cloverfield did not affect me at all. I guess I've learned my lesson.

Not at all :)
I had never heard of "Rec" and i fully agree blatant remakes are rather tiresome.
I found "Rec" and will be watching it later :thumbup:

I found the blair witch to be virtually un-watchable not because of the camera work so much as that annoying bi..... girl that ruined the whole film IMO.

If you really want to get dizzy in a Cinéma Vérité film, check out the Vietnam story "84 Charlie Mopic".

Great flick, but even I nearly :barf:.
