New movie Quarantine is a complete rip-off of the movie Rec which is a great zombie movie. They remade Rec which is barely 1 year old and kept it exactly the same... why you ask? Well im guessing its probably cause too many americans are too stuck up to sit and watch a spanish movie with subs, so an American version had to be made... wtf?

What a complete waste of time, id recommend everyone to see the movie Rec rather than Quarantine. The spanish have actually come out with a great movie only for it to be placed into the background by a complete copy. I consider it an insult to the spanish and im not even spanish.

Hope everyone involved with the movie Quarantine goes bust...

uhhhhh you can't ripoff a movie that the director allows you to remake. you know that so many more people will know about rec now that quarantine has come out right?

if you're going to argue that subtitled movies do well in either the states or abroad lol. it was a good decision to remake it rather than convince people to watch the original. that way fans will see the original where they might have skipped it before because I can't think of a single major motion picture release that was also subtitled.

also if there's a problem with the movie it's that the commercial and the fucking MOVIE POSTER spoil the ending that was so chilling in the original.

I understand what they're trying to do with Quarantine, but I won't see it until I've seen REC, if ever.
I can't help but think of what may have been the english remakes of Crouching Tiger or Hero.

I agree about the ending though. It sounded genuinely scary when I read the REC spoiler, but now every time I see that commercial I think less and less of that actress.

This movie rocked. I loved it. I was actually pretty impressed. It's pretty suspenseful, though completely predictable. That's pretty much all I have to say, I had a great time watching this movie.

REC was kinda scary, especially in the beginning and the last scene... I wanna see this remake for the sake of knowing if they did it better or worse.

Pan's Labyrinth, but that was a very exceptional movie.

This is probably a good time for me to introduce spoonyexperiment.com. He does entertaining reviews of games/movies (but a little less formulaic than zero punctuation) and happened to do one of Quarantine.

Check it out. :)

i can't remember what i thought of pan's labyrinth but uhhh yip this is a remake so it can't be a ripoff. the whole idea is to reproduce the original in a more marketable way so you can't really say that at all! i mean i think it's a shitty idea and why would anybody want to make a movie that has already been made (hollywood...makem me sick) but there's also the upside that it will alert a lot more people to the original film which is a pretty cool film so why not who cares it's a movie they're all just stupid entertainers. your post is pretty hilarious, bud! an insult to the spanish?

i'm not gonna see this though i'm not defending it or anything i'm just saying it's a giant who gives a flop with possible positive side effects like "that was shit let's see the original".

the only reason i can think to do a remake of a movie is if it's really old or really poorly done, but the concept is fantastic

like, if you take some old black and white film and essentially update it, but still keep the same vibe and feel and...EVERYTHING


the other one is if the idea behind the movie was great but the movie itself was REALLY BAD and someone doesn't want the idea to go to waste




the problem is pretty much no remakes fall into either of these categories, but what i am saying is that there ARE good reasons to make a remake, just no one does it
