Quarantine is a 2008 American horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle and starring Jennifer Carpenter. The film is a remake of the Spanish horror film [●REC].

Plot :

Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. Sara (Crystal Lowe) joins them, when she recognizes her best friend Angela going in the building. 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 apartments. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by a mysterious disease which turns victims into bloodthirsty psychopaths. 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. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew's videotape.

Marketing and Release

Sony Pictures has launched a viral marketing campaign for the film including a MySpace page, Facebook page and official website, a similar approach to Cloverfield, with which the movie's style is similar. The first trailer for the film was released in late May of 2008.

Knotts Halloween Haunt in Buena Park, CA will be promoting the film with a haunted maze at the 2008 event. The maze is a replica to areas of the quarantined apartment building complex from the film.

Quarantine had a set release date of October 17, 2008, but has recently been pushed up a week, and will now be released on October 10, 2008. It's rated R for bloody, violent and disturbing content, terror and language. In Australia, the film is rated <MA>15+ for Strong Horror Violence

if u vomit after watching the movie "cloverfield", then don't watch [REC], it's worst.........

anyway, i watched [REC] yesterday and it doesn't live up to those high praises everyone was talking about, just another zombie film with an un-professional cameraman........it's supposed to look twitchy to create a real life experience, but they are overdoing it in [REC].....

what i don't understand is, why are everyone praising [REC]??? because it's so "real"???? i don't think so, i've seen better quality movies and this is not one of them.
jason991
ok dude...
watching zombie movie or scary movie need some good speaker or headphone wil be better..

It’s a remake of the original version, which is in Spanish, entitled, [REC]. It’s a horror movie but shot with the concept of [Blair Witch Project] or [Cloverfield]. I would suggest that you watch the Spanish version rather than this Hollywood remake.
Calvin871989
Im scared to watch this at the cinema icon_question.gif tongue.gif hehe cant wait for this... just a couple days to go before it comes out at the cinema. my popcorn will save me if i do get scared or in a panic mood brows.gif every popcorn i eat calms me down and some coke of course flex.gif

Jennifer Carpenter on 'Quarantine'

Last January Bloody-Disgusting visited the set of Sony Screen Gems' R-rated horror film, Quarantine, which arrives in theaters everywhere this Friday. While on set we had the opportunity to chat with star Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter, Exorcism of Emily Rose), who chatted with us about the difficulties of shooting the film, the real-life terrors in the plot and how she got to watch other people get their hands wet this time around. You can read it all inside. In addition, if you click over to BDTV, you can now watch a behind-the-scenes featurette, alongside the three clips we added last week.

Carpenter is no newbie to Sony Screen Gems as she starred in one of their most successful horror film, THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE, which is how she got the early jump on the role in QUARANTINE.

"I worked with Clint Culpepper who was producing on “Emily Rose”, so he sent the script over and sent the original over, and I turned on the original, watched maybe two or three minutes of it and called and said, 'yeah, I want to do it.' "

In the film arriving in theaters October 10th, Carpenter plays television reporter Angela Vidal, who becomes locked in an apartment complex during a routine call with the Los Angeles Fire Department.

QUARANTINE is a remake of the Spanish horror flick [REC] and brings something new to the genre.

"I'm not sure that it will reinvent the genre," Carpenter explains to Bloody-Disgusting on the set back in November of 2007. "It’s certainly a brand new way of making films. I mean, it’s 3 o’clock, we’ve all been here since 7 and haven’t gotten off with our shot yet. You’re shooting four pages in one take, so it happens a lot like real life happens. There are dead spaces you fill and you start “improving”, and you have to be completely awake and aware and listening in a way that is not as forgiving as when you’re stopping, coming in and doing coverage.... we aren’t that planned."

The fact that there are extremely long takes and a lot of room for improv make QUARANTINE a difficult film to shoot. Carpenter explains that it was also one of her hardest roles.

"In a strange way, yeah [it's the hardest role], especially after coming off from "Dexter" where it’s about pacing a day as well as pacing the story," she continues, "This is about patience. In a lot of ways, it feels like I ran cross-country the night before the race; all the way up until the gun goes off, you have this adrenaline going and you’re telling your body “wait, wait, wait,” and then the gun goes off and you say, “Go!” It feels a lot like that. It’s a hard nerve to calm down, to control."

In EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE Carpenter got her hands pretty dirty in the role of a girl possessed. In QUARANTINE, she gets to watch others jump in the dirt.

"I love it because people sometimes come up to me and say that 'Emily Rose' scared them and that they lost sleep, and I apologize for my part in it, but this is exciting because this is closer to me and my life," she explains. "I really get freaked out by this stuff. The whole last scene in [Quarantine] happens in one room, and I’ve asked to not be allowed in that room. I don’t want to meet anybody that’s going to be in the room, because it will be authentic. I’m going to be scared out of my mind. Everybody looks sweet and warm out here, but they’re going to turn it on and I’m going to be terrified."

It’s pretty terrifying that, hypothetically, this story could happen...

"The scary thing about it is that they are locked in this building-normal people like you and me, and I’m assuming you are normal-but their rescue is right outside of a window pane. It is two stories down, and they can’t get out. They’re fighting for their lives, and their salvation is right outside the door..."

You'll be able to see everything through Carpenter's eyes when the film arrives in theaters October 10.

Good choice of getting the movie. Watch it and then you'll post up here recommending others to watch [REC] instead of [Quarantine]. Hehe...

Nah, I realize that the NTFS files require more authentification than ever, so I just drop the idea of setting up a shared folder. By the way, what's your msn? pm me yea. smile.gif

SowYau
The GSC Cinema website listed [REC] as one of the upcoming movie in January 2009. Don't u think they should have release it 1st instead of this remake?

However, i had watched Quarantine last night. it's very intense, creepy and downright scary!
