Rating: 8.9/10 Genre: Horror
Overall value for money and time: 8.8/10
I've grown out of horror movies, but this is undisputably one of the best horror movies I have ever seen. The movie is about a tv reporter and her cameraman following a fire fighting team on one of their night rounds. However, what they were about to bargain for will leave you grasping for air. This movie is shot in first person view, similar to "Blaire Witch Project" and "Cloverfield". While "Blaire Witch Project" lacked the high resolution of video taking, and "Cloverfield" lacked a full ending, "Rec." is the cream of the crop of such movies. "Quarantine" is a remake of this spanish zombie-horror film. Looking at the trailers, the scenes in "Quarantine" are a total replica of "Rec." Therefore, though I have not caught "Quarantine", I would strongly suggest you give it a miss and catch the original at its very best. The cinematography and the angles of all the shots are excellently thought of. The director truly knows how to keep the audience at the edge of their seats, without relying on cliche horror sound effects. Apart from the irrational hastened rate of metamorphosis at the second half of the movie, everything adds up in the end and its not one of those movies that leaves you hanging. Though slightly exaggerated, the characters in the movie are convincing. Be warned though, this movie is not for the fainthearted. There will not be a moment for you to calm down once the camera starts recording...
