Review: "Quarantine"

10 October 2008 6:09 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

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.

27 July 2008 8:00 AM, PDT | From iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news

While I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how the Dowdle Brothers handle the American remake of [Rec], I'm slightly disappointed by the spoiler-heavy advertising for Quarantine thus far. (This is based on having seen [Rec], maybe they changed it drastically? But it sure doesn't look like it!) Regardless, IGN now has a Red-band trailer for Quarantine, which hits theaters on October 10th this year. It stars Jennifer Carpenter (The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, Dexter), Jonathan Schaech (Prom Night) and Jay Hernandez (Hostel). Watch the following trailer with caution! And read our review of the original Spanish movie this is based on right Here! ([Rec] is rumored to be getting a Us DVD later this year as well.)
