Review:

Pretty much exactly like its remake Quarantine, it's a clone! I still think they're overrated and not as scary as most people are claiming and both doesn't even come close to the greatness Cloverfield brought but when it comes to zombie films it's in a league of its own and is the most intense, unsettling and freaky one I've seen in a long time. I thought everything was realisticly portrayed which makes everything that happens to them even more unnerving and the lead actress gave it her all just like the lead actress in the remake. I am really looking forward to the sequel even though I wasn't a huge fan of both but I'm interested where they are taking this in terms of story and location ect. Overall if you saw the remake you pretty much saw this so no need to rush to see this, just wait for the sequel. If you haven't seen both though I suggest you check out either one because they are equally the same and get ready for a spooky good time.
