Solid remake of Quarantine

Quarantine is a remake of the 2007 Spanish horror film Rec. This movie has been receiving amazing reviews from horror fans including myself. It leaves you on the edge of your seat, terrifying and action packed. When people hear about a remake happening so soon they suddenly think that it's probably going to turn out bad and sort-of ridiculous. However, the cast and trailer were both very good and it happened to be better than other remakes including one missed call, and The shutter. The story basically talks about a young girl who is filming with her cameraman in Los Angeles when they receive a call from a apartment.  They soon go to check it out and then make a frightful discovery regarding one of the residents and find themselves Quarantined by the government in the apartment building.  If you had seen the first movie you would realize it is the exact same plot just with new scenes in between.  Those too were also good. The action was intense and strong. Although this movie had many positive aspects of it and the casting was good, there were also some flaws to this movie.  The movie sort-of dragged out in some parts and some characters were really pointless to be in it.  If you had seen the first one you would probably be extremely disappointed with the directors of the film ; only because the plot and many ideas were the same as the first movie. Therefore the director of the first movie should be given most of the credit to Quarantine.   They had also lied to the audience and said that they had changed the ending of this movie when clearly it turned out to be basically the same. So, lying to the people, and remaking a film less than a year? Not such a god start with directing. on a  whole though, i thought this movie was really good and it leaves you completely freaked out in so many parts. I do advise anyone to watch this movie , so don't be ignorant over a movie with subtitles because it really was an amazing film

  1. I'm confused by your review because it seems that you give this movie both positive and negative reviews. Make sure to proofread a little more carefully.
