Complete rip-off of the movie Rec (Dont waste your time), 18 October 2008
1/10
Author: rpgfaneva from United Kingdom

OK I didn't see the whole movie but its exactly the same as the movie Rec, which is still a fairly new movie.. why they decided to remake a movie barely 1 year old is beyond me, those complete and utter idiots.

Rec is a Spanish movie with subs so I suppose they decided since Americans are so lazy and cant read they must make an American version for them... WTF? This movie is a complete waste of time and an insult to the movie Rec which is excellent... just watch the original and don't waste your time with this one.

What Spanish movies arnt good enough for the Americans? What a joke and im not even Spanish. Out of respect for the Spanish who have created a great movie don't go watch Quarantine at the movies, hope everyone involved in this movie goes bust.
