ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

amarijalenk Quarantine is not a bad found footage film by any means. Every actor in this movie does a great job of actoring horrified or traumatized. Not once was I ever laughing at how bad somebody's acting was, Why you ask? The reason why is because there was simply no reason too. The concept of this movie is great too, I absolutely love the concept of the Armageddon Virus. I do have complaints about this movie but it's not with the acting or plot it's but instead it's with the camera lighting and time. The lighting could've been much better and the movie felt too short. Honestly I don't see how anybody can disagree with my points but I understand everybody is entitled to their own opinions. The only reason people hate on Quarantine is because they compare it to the Spanish movie REC. Stop acting like Quarantine isn't a good film and REC is miles superior because the plot is almost 100% similar, this is simply just critics hating on Hollywood like usual.

benjaminpitkin This film does very well at scaring people, and if you're after a 1st person zombie-apocalypse thriller, this has it all. The acting is convincing and the effects and immersion are very compelling.On the whole however. I found the characters to be somewhat dim-witted, slow, stupid, and emotionally compromised. Of course, some early mistakes were forgivable. But the clues were more than obvious. The main characters showed no capacity to anticipate the situation. Even after multiple fatal attacks, those with weapons didn't use them when any rational person might. They made no attempts as self-isolation, and actually tried to breach external containment (when they knew full well that they'd be risking the entire population of the city).The biggest criticism I'd have to save for the main character. Who ends up just being a hyper-ventilating, and quivering emotional wreck. The performances were so overly dramatized, and irritating to watch. The whole idea that such a group of dysfunctional people could survive for so long makes this whole film unrealistic. Most people who live through survival situations don't act this way. Panic very quickly gives way to a fight or flight response. Those that opt for panic are usually the first ones to die, and those that opt to fight are usually second.There are no really strong characters to rally behind, or admire. Except perhaps for the fireman, or the man behind the camera, who we don't really get to see.

bradman1118 Quarantine is a remake of the Spanish found-footage horror film, REC.REC was a fantastic horror film, and Quarantine is nothing more than an almost identical copy of it. It is apparent that the filmmakers had no artistic or creative agenda, and their sole intention was to make money. I find it baffling that this film was even made without loads of copyright issues. The film, in and of itself, is not awful, the camera-work and cinematography was very good, and the lack of music and long camera takes made for a very raw and realistic feel. However, neither of those things impressed me since they are merely a mimic of the original film. The performances and dialogue felt much more scripted and cliché, the blood/gore effects were bad, and possibly worst of all, the ending/climax of the movie was completely changed and made stupid and awful. The one thing that the Quarantine has to stand apart from it's source material is the ending, but the change was entirely for the worse. Overall, for someone who has never seen REC, Quarantine may seem okay, but for someone who has, it was maddeningly terrible.

mitchw-61-305942 Good movie. I don't think character development is necessary for all films, just as long as I find something likable about the characters, and the lead actress was playful and 'professional' - for a reporter - which immediately gave her due credit, IMO.I don't mind hand-held camera movies (Blair Witch, Cloverfied, Chronicle) however I found this one extremely distracting and obfuscate, though realistic if we venture that direction. The acting was good. I liked the famous faces, Denis O'Hare and Greg Germann (from Ally McBeal).Jennifer Carpenter's performance was above average although her hysterical screaming and hyperventilating became annoying, though in a situation such as this I'd probably behave the same way.A bit dark. The camera man's light was insufficient to clarify specific details but then again, it's a movie and stayed true to the realistic nature - if you call a rabies rage outbreak realistic ha ha Watch it if you don't get sea sick. It's entertaining. I gave it a 6 to be nice, it's probably a 5, but whatever.
