Quarantine is coming
I’m very much looking forward to this film for a variety of reasons - I like Jennifer Carpenter’s work in Dexter and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, I can stand Jay Hernandez, even though I hated Hostel (one or two), but the main reason I want to see this flick is of course - ZOMBIES! I’m hoping for slow zombies but have been disappointed a lot lately.
Check out the trailer and more content after the jump:
Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape.
QUARANTINE has been rated R by the MPAA for BLOODY VIOLENT AND DISTURBING CONTENT, TERROR AND LANGUAGE

OMG
this movie is a FUCKING RIP OFF of a Spanish movie called REC.
It’s the exact same movie.
I have no idea if they bought the rights for it or what.
But the movie already exists.
Sad.
Calling it a rip off is a little strong. The filmmakers did option the property from the spanish language producers. Common knowledge and common practice. Happens all the time with more films than you’d believe. I’m going to see the original Spanish film at Vancouver Film Festival. Looking forward to both. I’m sure the Spanish one is better.
So … if I get it well, it’s like Cloverfield, with zombies, right?
sounds pretty awsome.
first off, this is a remake of [REC], which is a great film, second the zombies are not slow, but it looks as if this movie was shot scene by scene from the original, so it will still be awesome, too bad they gave away the ending in the trailer though…
Gosh darn it! I was really looking forward to this film but now I already know what’s going to happen because I looked up REC on Wikipedia after reading the previous comments. Just a warning to whoever reads this: Don’t read the article on Wikipedia. It tells the whole movie! I’m still going to see it though. I’ll be there on opening day…after all, I am a zombie freak. LOL
