Very good zombie movie, and I don't really like zombie movies, as a rule.<br /><br />I liked the opening part at the firehouse a lot, and I liked how they managed to convey that the cameraman had a crush on Angie without ever actually saying it. His jealous camerawork made me smile.<br /><br />And damn, I knew that was Doug Jones by his freaking fingers. That's definitely a sign of watching too many movies.Justin Jordanhttp://librarygorilla.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-13219200943521498992009-05-13T13:02:00.000-07:002009-05-13T13:02:00.000-07:00A)Because they dont speak other languajes

It is a good zombie movie without having to worry if the zombies are going to eat you or not. Another great zombie movie I saw a few months ago, was DEAD SET, edited by a fan from a British series, tells the BIG BROTHER inhabitants who are unaware of the zombie outbreak while they are locked in being watched. After the 28 days movies, this one is really good!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-76227127946997960332009-03-05T21:14:00.000-08:002009-03-05T21:14:00.000-08:00I watched Quarantine tonight with my mom and I was...I watched Quarantine tonight with my mom and I was extremely disappointed.

Some parts were dumb as hell like the cop going after the little girl and locking the "bitten" doctor behind a set of glass french doors, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable film.<BR/><BR/>For my money, the beginning in the fire station should have been shorter and, as you mentioned, the final freakin' shot of the movie shouldn't be in the trailer. Also the final scene seemed a bit dragged out to me. The presence of familiar faces didn't bother me as much as most, especially the chick biting her fingers off and the vet, I recognized but couldn't really place. The one exception was the cameraman, Steve Harris, who reminds me how much I miss The Practice but doesn't really belong as a no-name in a horror movie.<BR/><BR/>I question now if there is a point to watching [Rec] as I have heard many times this is a fairly faithful remake but I suppose I shall if and when we can ever see the Spanish sequel for continuity sakes.Puckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924219699313473972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-83337465392017125972009-02-22T10:25:00.000-08:002009-02-22T10:25:00.000-08:00If there's a commentary I almost always watch it (...If there's a commentary I almost always watch it (in addition to the movie regular).

The reason I ask is that you always seem to have listened to the commentary track.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-73159107260858140392009-02-21T19:01:00.000-08:002009-02-21T19:01:00.000-08:00BC, I haven't been able to see REC, but I saw Quar...BC, I haven't been able to see REC, but I saw Quarantine the other night and liked it. Off topic question: are you going to review Teeth? <BR/><BR/>Matt, hey Matt! How are you? Are you seriously into a remake of The Thing? So far, I can't stomach it. Seriously.

I'm the bigger genre fan in the house, but she will watch whatever horror movie I tell her is supposed to be good or important. This is one of the ones we both agreed was excellent.<BR/><BR/>I've heard a fair amount about [REC] from the websites I frequent, so I'm curious to see it and compare the two. I do feel Quarantine was solid enough that it may top my list of remakes, or at least rank right up there with Carpenter's The Thing and the new version of The Hills Have Eyes.Matt and Grettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873846691580964618noreply@blogger.com
