Identical but shallow - Quarantine review by CP Customer
A quick-fire Hollywood remake of the Spanish horror .REC. While the original did have its issues, the intense fear factor and being trapped within was well exploited. In this edition Dowdle has almost recreated the film shot by shot, which begs the question why not just rent the original? Even by approaching a carbon copy in this way, the performances from the actors involved are not as convincing and the atmosphere is diluted. Yet another example of how seeing the original foreign film is the better option here.

Its ok - Quarantine review by CP Customer
Thought this would be like Cloverfield and up to a point it was. Unfortunately the film is quite badly acted with a very slow story line and characters that you really don't care if they die.
After a while the film started to bore me as is not as good as some others I have seen.
Upto you if you want to rent it but you might be disappointed - I was :(
