I guess I could check some foreign sites unless it's coming out over here real soon.<br /><br />I thought the American remake was boring, too. I guess it was because it was basically a shot for shot remake of the Spanish original and had next to nothing new to offer and what was there wasn't half as chilling as what was in the original. They did extend the finale a bit, but the final creature was less terrifying than the Spanish version in my opinion. <br /><br />Nice review, Francisco!venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-37969159090076432832010-06-23T14:27:40.859-07:002010-06-23T14:27:40.859-07:00Agree with ya Neil, Quarantine was one of the most...Agree with ya Neil, Quarantine was one of the most painful watches Ive had to go through in a while.

But it didnt matter to me because I was enjoying the movie.<br /><br />The thing with finding the DNA of a possesed person in order to create a vaccine for demon possesion made no sense at all to me. <br /><br />Possesion isnt a virus. You are possesed by an invisible spirit, all you gotta do (according to christian mythology) is exorcise it. There is no vaccine against demon possesion. So that story angle didnt make much sense to me. <br /><br />But like I said before, [REC] 2 was a scary and entertaining ride, I just went with it.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-10831902274596156802010-06-22T17:01:46.310-07:002010-06-22T17:01:46.310-07:00I'm going to have to respectfully disagree my ...I'm going to have to respectfully disagree my dear friend. I thought the demon angle was original and unique. Just when you thought the film was going one way, it completely does a 180 and smacks you over the head. I for one have never seen a film in which you believed it was a typical 'infection' type of film but then shift and explore something different conceptually. <br /><br />I really liked the whole scientific aspect as well of trying to find the actual DNA or genetic makeup that's found within someone who's possessed. Really interesting stuff.<br /><br />I also liked the POV angles as well. Really kept you off balance as a viewer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
