Oh, so thaaaaat's what Cloverfield was trying to do.
It's been a damn long time since I've been in a packed theater where people screamed their asses off and cheered/fist-pumped/went NUTS when the survivors fought back. There was a moment, before the film began, when I dreaded the pack of teenage girls in front of me, and how they would destroy my moviegoing experience. The texting, the chatting ...
They maybe stopped crying in the parking lot. Maybe.
Pure pulp, and wonderfully made. You actually gave a damn what happened to these characters. Pipe was laid quite effectively, and there's a moment near the end where you think they're going to use the hoariest of movie tropes to get some information across, and they utterly subvert it.
Nice job, Dowdle Bothers.

Fantastic.
I was actually fairly cynical about this movie (it being another US remake of a foreign horror film) but this post has given me hope.
Any film that makes annoying teenage girls cry can't be all bad, right?
I gotta wonder how much of the (miniscule, but obviously well-spent) budget went for paper bags for Jennifer Carpenter to breathe into between takes. Haven't seen that much hyperventilation since I ...
...er, toured an HVAC-manufacturing facility? I got nothing.
As someone who loved REC, I'm still skeptical. The only reason I've had is Jennifer Carpenter.
If you can get hold of a copy, you must watch the Spanish original [REC], it is absolutely brilliant.
Taken from another review:
"Jennifer Carpenter, playing the too-thin, too-young, too-flirty TV reporter whose "ride along" with firemen turns into a zombie virus nightmare, gives a performance that harks back to the Golden Age of Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah, she's that good."
Now I am very curious to see this. Jennifer Carpenter is brilliant in Dexter.
So..How are the reviews for this? Good? Bad?
Crying girls sounds about right, if it works as well as Mr. Rogers maintains. During the final five minutes of [Rec] I had my hands over my eyes and was planning a speedy dash out of the nearest exit, I was so scared. It was such a powerful experience I can't get my knickers in a twist over anyone rushing out a remake. I'm just glad something so great exists at all, in any format.
That said, just out of curosity, has anyone here seen both Quarantine and [Rec], and if so, are there any differences? Clips I've seen make it seem like the US version hews so close to the original that it's almost a Van-Santing. (But what a movie to remake.)

I'm curious as to how it compares to the original as well. I caught [Rec] towards the end of its run, and was alone in the cinema. Absolutely brilliant experience.
[REC] was great, but Quarantine still seems to me like a shot-by-shot remake.
Cloverfield + Blair Witch Project = Quarantine, not to mention a remake of Spain's [REC]. I'm glad it 'works' but still, geez...when are we going to start coming up with the original's ourselves again?
Limited locations + limited number of cast members + all freakin' hell breaking loose within that location (emotionally and physically) = pulp movie.
Okay - in this instance - Studio pulp movie
And yes, I want to see both versions. Fire up them thar interwebs!!!
Having seen both, I can report that Quarantine is a very faithful remake of [REC]. Minor details are changed along the way, most notably the hints about the nature of the source, but overall not much is different. Most importantly, the level of briefs-staining terror is matched quite well. My only complaint is with an ad campaign that gives away FAR too much, but that's pretty much the norm these days. That's why I always bring along my MP3 player to drown out the trailers. :)
glad to hear some info on this. I've seen the commercials but after seeing Cloverfield and how lame that ended up being I was skeptical. I may give this a try while it's still at theaters. Thanks!
This seems like as good a time as any for me to propose my theory of how Cloverfield could have been made into a much better movie:
It should have been directed by Spike Lee.
Does it have a lot of shaky cam? I really want to see it, but you know I can't handle that shit.
I saw the opening on YouTube -- or at least a clip -- reporter in fire station. Is this different than Romero's Diary of the Dead?
(All right. Shut up. I get to ask The Dumb Question today.)
My only complaint is with an ad campaign that gives away FAR too much, but that's pretty much the norm these days.
You bet. "Rec" is going to be better than "Quarantine" if only because for those people who saw "Rec", the moment when the plastic goes up over the doorways would have been a surprise, and one which definitely incited a "Oh shit - that CAN'T be good!" reaction.
[rec] is waaaay better than Quarantine, always go to the source.

OK, I've seen REC. Lots like Romero's Diary of the Dead.
Actually, while I was watching it, I kept thinking, You know, damn, this is the missing Die Hard Halloween movie.
Die Hard IV: Zombies!
That would have been great!
Could still be. That Bradbury building still standing?
Loved it, except for the end.
A LOT of shaky-cam, distractingly so at times, but I was okay with it for the most part.
But the setup got you really liking Carpenter's character (well, lusting after, but, hey, same thing in a movie, right?), and the stuff inside the apartment actually made "sense" in an "if you accept the premise" sort of way. (Though the time-to-symptoms infection rate did seem to speed up as the movie progressed.)
My only gripe was with Carpenter's freakout at the end - while I certainly -bought- it (and understood why!), it was so excessive as to make some of the kids in the theater--previously entirely engaged--laugh.
I would have preferred her to be more active at the end, rather than hiding in the corner in the dark, but if that was how the original went, and you're making a faithful remake, whatcha gonna do, right?

A question for John.
When you say "and there's a moment near the end where you think they're going to use the hoariest of movie tropes to get some information across, and they utterly subvert it" which moment are you talking about?
Nice movie and really nice job from Jennifer Carpenter. But like absinthe said, it must have been pretty exhausting keeping that hyperventilating, panicked, terrified act up.
Though I still like the open, mass hysteria scenario from Cloverfield better than Quarantine's claustrophobic, shrinking lights, don't know whats behind the corner take.
To WCDixon: haven't you heard? Originality has been done before...
anonymous, I assume the "hoariest of movie tropes" moment is the discovery of the tape recorder.
This was a fantastic article. Really loved reading your we blog post. The information was very informative and helpful...
