A really great horror film, made apparently just months after the Spanish original Rec. What I don't understand is so many people saying this is not as good? It's almost the same film scene for scene, but with a different cast and set in LA. Only changes from the original are a f...( read more)

It's official. I think John Erick Dowdle is a horrible director. First the shitty Poughkeepsie Tapes, now this. Quarantine was just as embarrassing, for slightly different reasons, but it's still a joke(and killer rats are hilarious.). Did he even pay attention to the movie [REC]...( read more)

Critic Reviews
Quarantine is worth seeing for its solid first two acts, some terrific acting by some favorite character actors, and a several solid spook-show scares. full review
Give Quarantine credit: Without resorting to computer-generated monsters or supernatural explanations, it uses consistent logic and confinement to find new ways of being scary. full review

November 6, 2008Quarantine, yet another pseudo-documentary horror movie, In some ways 'Quarantine' is better than 'Rec,' not only xeroxing all its shocks but managing to add more. For more review & and wallpaper click the link:- http://movies.iexplorehere.com/review/780/Quarantine.html

October 30, 2008This is one of the few horror movies I've seen over the last five years that have actually SCARED me!!! Shooting from the point of view angle places the movie-goer at ground level and in the middle of the gorefest. The director John Erick Dowdle suceeds where the much vaunted George Romero failed. Its' clear to me at least that this movie is an instant CLASSIC.
