Do NOT see 'Quarantine'
 
You heard. Don't even watch the trailer if you can help it.

Unsurprisingly, this soon to be released horror film is a remake of a little Spanish film made only LAST YEAR called [rec]. But i'm sure most of you know that. The original blew me away and stands as one of the most terrifying films i've seen. The remake, from the trailer i unfortunately saw looks to be a shot for shot, word for word remake. I'm sure that's not where your money should be going. And to make matters worse, if you have seen the trailer- it shows you the whole flippin' film, right up to the final shocking shot.

Yeah cheers for the heads up. I've not seen Rec yet, but I just can't believe that they are doing a remake of a film that came out last year. Its almost funny..

Can you say it's all about the money.

I totally agree about the trailer Pyro. Was in the states and saw it and the trailer spoils the WHOLE film. What bunch of douche bags made this? Kill them i say. KILL THEM ALL.

Quarantine was awesome :eek: How can you say it wasen't?

Well, i can say that the original was a fantastic film. Thus a remake was not necessary. And anyone with ounce of intelligence should see the original, not some capitalist commercial rip-off version.

[Rec] was obviously the better film and I do recommend people watch it first, but from what I'm seeing on movie sites (imdb, rt) Quarantine aint too bad.

I was gonna watch it. But judging by the reviews, I'm having second thoughts.

Re: Do NOT see 'Quarantine'
 
Well, i'm sure as a stand alone film Quarantine is quite good but from what i've seen and read, all that's good about it is the fact it's a nigh on carbon copy of [rec] so only good for the reasons [rec] is good.

They completely change the ending in Quarantine. For shame...

Saw Quarantine last Sunday, thought it was very good. Nicely done!

*** out of ****, from me!

I enjoyed it. It actually improved some aspects, but [REC] had much better acting. Regardless, I enjoyed Quarantine.

I hate trailers that spoil the friggin movie. Thanks for the warning.

I thought it used the shock-scare thing up a bit about half-way through the movie, plus the ending seemed arbitrary and didn't go any where.

Arbitrary? What did you expect to happen?
