Summary:
Television reporter Angela Vidal and her cameraman are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building.

A remake of a spanish horror film REC, Quarantine certainly has the edge to make you close your eyes but makes you open it just a lil bit peeping and wanting to know wad's up next. Most films end with a sudden scene and leave the rest of it hanging, but this was a brilliant idea. After a slow start to the show, just when you think "it's gonna be a long one", you think wrong... Plus, most american horror films dont really give you the creeps but only a shock. For e.g: Sudden appearance of the entity / zombie and the background music increases loudly, but this one really got my attention. I prefer movies which tells you what goes and what happened instead of the ones which requires you to create a whole plot by yourself and there's only one possible plot, this one was a no brainer. The only discomfort i find in watching this was the nonstandard camera angles which was a lil hard to make up was happening at first but given the storyline, it was fully ample. All in all, if you wanna watch flesh eating for real, plus a dose of gruesome bloodthristy hunting, this one is an all timer.

Total: 4 out of 5 for this movie

Next up, Twilight....
