Quarantine the Movie
Imagine you’re a TV news crew following a team of Hazmat agents into an apartment building to evacuate its residents, but something horribly wrong happens and you’re team is now being chased by…Zombies (of sorts).
Sound stupid?
Sure does, but that doesn’t stop Hollywood from making it.
Quarantine, a remake of the Spanish film REC (which is only a year old) follows its predecessor but with American panache I love Romero films! For that matter I love early Jackson and Raimi films of the same genre, but there’s something missing with the Zombie films of today. Sure the cinematography and editing enhance the action sequences and the sfx and gore turn your stomach a little more then the films of the 70s and 80s, but today’s films lack what those classics embodied…HEART.
Here’s the trailer for Quarantine. It looks interesting but that doesn’t mean much in today’s Hollywood.
