30 Days of Night
The One

Quarantine - This was a good movie theater flick and I doubt I'll ever pick it up. It really reminded me of a haunted house. Lots of things popping out, flashing lights, and scream from the darkness. I think it worked as a Halloween movie, I'd suggest people see it before the 31st and in a dark theater.

Nope, I've done some searching and haven't run across it yet, I'll probably enjoy it but to be honest I'm really not sold on the whole homevideo thing (yes I know it was a professional camera in some of the movies). I liked Diary of the Dead and Cloverfield but thought Quarantine was just alright and really disliked Blair Witch. It will take something super special shot in that style to really get me to love it.

Cool, I hope so, I think Diary was the best shot in that style so far and that's only because of the way Romero made the characters utilize multiple cameras, security footage, etc. I understand that Quarantine is a remake but I've heard that it's almost shot for shot, have you seen both?

no - i only saw [rec] but i'm hearing bad things from people who saw it - and liked [rec]

Haven't seen Quarantine yet (and, honestly, I probably wont) but the trailers look pretty near shot-for-shot. Looked exactly the same to me.
