Rec (2007) Vs Quarantine (2008)


Quarantine turned out to be a Hollywood-movie-remake from Rec, Spanish movie released in 2007. Most people say the original is so much better than the remake. (C'mon, let's prove it, Monchi! *lol)

Me, myself, haven't watch Rec yet, but i'm really hoping it's much better than Quarantine, because the remake was so flat, not scary enough, lack of gore, which excel on those points what really makes a great zombie movie.

Many also debate about the shakycam going on in this movie, pros and cons,

I believe the using of shakycam in Quarantine from early beginning to end doesn't work. It makes the dead creatures mostly unseen and hard to see. In my opinion, a combination between still cameras and shakey ones would be perfect then would bring a heart-thumping and nail-biting movie, way scarier ambience. I hope the shakycam technique would be better in Rec (i'll make an update after watching it).

Still, 28 Weeks Later and Dawn of the Dead (2004) are the bomb! A few great 21st century zombie movie! Hell yeah! Bring it on, movie producers and directors! Beat those two! I'll be the first in line to watch it! (and also the rest of the aliens...) *lol

I'd like to give it 3 stars in the first place for the amazing idea of the story plot, but since it's a remake, I give 2.5 stars out of 5 for Quarantine.
