Quarantine.

Dire.
I've finally had my suspicions confirmed that the "actress" from Dexter really does only have partial control of her facial muscles. Nice to see the director had previously seen Cloverfield and decided to shoot in exactly the same stupidly annoying way.

3.5/10

She is probably the worst actress ever. She's rubbish. She can't even deliver a single line without being annoying, whiney or just acceptable.

Do you mean the annoying English cow who was on Hustle? If so, then yes I entirely agree. Butt ugly stick insect who's just talentless.

I have just seen The Reader (finally!), and I have to say that it's my favourite "tip" from the Oscars. Just pushing Frost/Nixon out, which itself just edged Milk for me.

8/10

I'm talking about Dexters sister. But then again, the woman from Hustle also falls into that catagory.

It's a remake of the Spanish film [REC] which is all shot basically on handycam through the eyes of a reporter and her camerman.

[REC] (after seeing people talk so much about quarantine)

Terrified me and the missus but we're both utter wimps so this didn't come as any surprise to us. Absolutely loved it, really horrific but believable gore, kneck biting granny, small zombie child, what's not to love?

Sure it had plot holes all over the shop, but what horror movie doesn't these days? The acting was believable but it's difficult to tell if the acting is top notch if you can't understand a word they're saying. I'm unsure whether the nasty thing at the end was CG or not, it was too well done to look CG but also too inhuman to be a person in a suit, really scared me when you saw it in the distance down the corridor.

One of the best horror movies i've seen in years, in fact the only horror movie to scare me in years.

8/10, docking 1 point for the plot holes and another for the cheap, hollywoodesque scare in the loft near the end. Such a shame, was really clever in the ways it scared you other than that moment. I will never be watching Quarantine, i utterly detest it when the Yanks see something good and decide to copy it.

Wild Child - Saw it on a flight 2 months ago but i forgot to take it off my rental list so i got it again. Watched it again and it's just as enjoyable. Yes, it is cliche, it is predictable, but it is fun and was entertained through out. It also starred the late Natasha Richardson.

I suggest you watch the original; [.REC], as like virtually every US remake of a foreign film ever, the proper one is several orders of magnitude better.

Though Cloverfield likely had nothing to do with the direction, as it was an attempt at a shot for shot remake, except they failed miserably.
