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 apartment units.

  • sanman, on 07/09/2008, -0/+20So what is the 'contagion'? Another zombie disease? No biggie, just cure it with a sawed-off shotgun, Resident Evil style.
    • BobSutan, on 07/10/2008, -0/+10No no no!

      Ok you primitive screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
    • cheesenuggets1, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6This was based on the Spanish flick "REC," which was, bar none, the best horror film of last year. WATCH IT, and I promise you won't be disappointed. The last ten minutes especially will ***** you up good.

      Oh yeah, and both the teaser and trailer for this shoddy remake give away the ending. Try to guess which shot, it's fun!
    • linagee, on 07/10/2008, -2/+1It's a movie based on a true story.
  • Jashro, on 07/09/2008, -3/+13It's like I know I should be scared, but the screen size is too small *shrug*.
    • gradivus, on 07/10/2008, -2/+11Yeah,they have this new thing called full-screen. Its between the volume controls and the progress bar.
      • Jashro, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Congratulations for finding the button that doesn't increase the size of someone's monitor.
      • Puppetfunk, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Well. That's your own damn fault. Get a job you filthy hippy!
      • Jashro, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Okay. :)
    • ElderBieler, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1What is wrong with me? That freaked the fu@% out of me!

      Now I feel like a pansy being the only one to say it.

  • KrietoR, on 07/09/2008, -1/+86EXACT copy of the great spanish horror movie "Rec"
    Hollywood stealing again other countries *****.....
    • nymphetamine, on 07/09/2008, -1/+44REC trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib5ZSj6ST0U

      I saw REC and thought it was awesome. Too bad for the remake because it really is an exact copy. Talk about laziness.
      • zephc, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15Wow, that was almost shot-for-shot that same. Quarantine is now on my Don't See list
      • indigit4l, on 07/10/2008, -9/+1Oh how we love to cry when hollywood "ruins" the source material. And then we cry either ***** way. I should kick you all in your ***** pussies.
      • wondertwins, on 07/10/2008, -2/+17BURIED FOR THE EXACT COPY OF REC!!!!!
      • lsloany, on 07/10/2008, -1/+4Unfortunately if they would have just released REC here with subtitles it probably wouldn't have done as well as this movie will. I for one will just watch Rec over again, instead of wasting the $10 on an exact copy. Couldn't they have least done something different?
      • BobaFettTDG, on 07/10/2008, -1/+3Man, now I have to see REC. And I hate horror movies.
    • karel747, on 07/10/2008, -0/+17Holy crap... you weren't kidding.
    • rex84, on 07/10/2008, -3/+14Can we even count how many times other countries have stolen Hollywood's *****?
      • cheese06, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8yeah gonna have to agree with you on that.
      • timothycrash01, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Wow - thank you for that comment. It's about time someone pointed that out. Especially considering the 'zombie' like premise of this film - you'd think Romero and John Russo didn't invent the entire genre in the first place. (By genre I mean films like Rec which are just slight twists on the original Night of the Living Dead franchise.)

        For other examples, look at Asian cinema from the 50's to the 80's - especially their films which were direct rip offs of many Hollywood westerns. (Although that also went the other way with Magnificent Seven, etc.) And musicals from the 30's to the 70's - look at the films / scripts coming out of India and Asia even today. And action films - well Hollywood has always been ahead of the game. But now that other countries have the budgets to keep up with the U.S., we're seeing all this turn around and Hollywood starting to steal the ideas.
      • Emilio8605, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2There's an entire industry called Bollywood in India where they steal Hollywood ideas.
    • Pizzini3000, on 07/10/2008, -1/+2I'm guessing it's not the same rec as http://rubenerdshow.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/re ...
    • monkeystick, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5REC was incredible.. first horror movie with subtitles that actually creeped me out.
      • tjmb9, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Yeah, it was a really good movie.. except for that one moment involving a fireman and a neck being broken.
    • blackmesa, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4***** US film market REQUIRES a Hollywood version or it won't sell. Maybe people don't like reading subtitles??
      • timothycrash01, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Crouching Tiger: $130 million U.S. box office. Not a single word of English that I can remember. Life is Beautiful: $60 million (Although I'm not sure if they dubbed it in the U.S.) Pan's Labrynth: $40 million. Amelie: $40 million.

        Perhaps not huge blockbusters, but there's definitely a market for foreign films in the States. There are plenty of examples of foreign films doing way better than some projected 'big budget' Hollywood flicks.

        But there's a trend here. It seems that more stylized foreign films do well - perhaps one's like Amelie that would be very difficult or impossible to reproduce well. Whereas films like Rec would be pretty easy to put together in Hollywood with pretty much any cast and director.
      • halogenik, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1Crouching Tiger did well because it's more visual than story based. People just stfu and looked at the pretty flying.
      • diulei, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1Crouching Tiger made it big because there were a lot of stereotypically Chinese / Asian themes that would be impossible to "Americanize". If you notice - most foreign movies that the general American public would be willing to watch have a very stereotypical theme.

        For example, Infernal Affairs was a cop/mob story - not very "Chinese" and thus I highly doubt the American public would have paid attention to it like they would with a remake, and "The Departed" was born.
    • omoshiroi, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3I guess that explains why it's on latinoreview.com
    • karel747, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Just saw Rec... For anyone wondering, it is very good. Damn scary too. Looks like we'll have to look to other countries to make scary movies, since Hollywood seems so inept at that recently.
    • paalia, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1on imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/
    • ch1x0r8ed, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1Not only is Hollywood copying [REC] almost shot-by-shot, but it would seem they are also homogenising it. [REC] scared the crap out of me because of the realistic cinematography and low-budget production value. This, looks too polished and delilberately well lit. Also very unimpressed with giving away some major scares in the trailer...
      I'm not surprised though, it IS hollywood after all.
  • redundant, on 07/09/2008, -0/+12Looks like a copy of a whole bunch of styles and concepts, but that said, it doesn't look too cheesy, so maybe it'll be ok.

    I'm inclined to say that it's either going to be really terrible, or really good.
    • tomatogoodness, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Well the fact that we probably just saw the ending of the movie in this trailer (the end when she gets pulled back), it doesn't look like it will be too great.
  • adamsteinbaugh, on 07/09/2008, -9/+321 Days Later in an apartment building!
  • zephc, on 07/09/2008, -1/+17The Blair Zombie Project. Zombies aren't as terrifying unless they come in large numbers. There is no sense of doom and hopelessness if the zombies are in a building and Johnny Law is outside containing it.
    • JesterIV, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3There might be if you were in there with it.. or watchin that damn tape and wondering if they killed the virus or whatever it was...
    • cyrix, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2I think they did it this way to make the spaces feel more confined and intimate as opposed to having a huge city, country side, etc.... with zombies all in it. Hell even RE took place in a "lab" bigger than Rhode Island (not literally.)

      So that aside, don't know if want. Could be great. It has potential. So long as they stay away from the major cliches.
      • tjmb9, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Too bad they cast Dexter's sister in it.
    • Armitage2k, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Finally they try to contain it QUICKLY.... because if they let those idiots out, it would have spread exponentially. I commend those outside...
  • Dutrho, on 07/09/2008, -3/+7Another zombie flick! Hurrah! my life is complete..
    gonna go kill myself now.
    • twrife, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I read that in Dr. Zoidberg's voice for some odd reason.
  • editorT, on 07/09/2008, -4/+10smth like "Cloverfield"...
    I mean the film is made in the same way... with a camera in the hands..
    • maldovix, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3I was thinking the same thing. more than just handheld camera, but as the entire story being told through a 'recovered' videotape as though it happened in the past
      • tjmb9, on 07/10/2008, -1/+3Cloverfield stole that idea too, folks.
    • tmyprod, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Fortunately this cameraman is a professional and can hold the camera still for five ***** seconds.
  • rollxnut, on 07/09/2008, -4/+2http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WxGCA2kcrak
  • greevar, on 07/09/2008, -1/+8Lame...
  • chuckj892, on 07/10/2008, -7/+2This is already covered. Diary of the Dead by George Romero. Great movie. Highly worth a look.
    • Animal, on 07/10/2008, -2/+5Except for the fact that it was a terrible movie.
  • deinem, on 07/10/2008, -2/+728 days later + cloverfield. Great. More motion sickening fun.
    • Jhiaxuz, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2If it's anything like [Rec], which it is to a tee, than the camera motion will probably be more in tune with Diary of the Dead. Not quite the roller coaster ride Cloverfield was but it's already starting to feel like a tiring cliche.
  • AzraDarkness, on 07/10/2008, -1/+7Zombie Pickup Line #23 - I like you for your.....BRAINZ....
  • RRAlex, on 07/10/2008, -0/+12Go watch REC, just saw it at Fantasia, it is a great movie...
    Unlike this one which will probably be as bad as any remake like Juon the grudge, etc...
    • dontera, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2After seeing this trailer, which did pique my interest, and reading that it was based on a foreign film, I immediately located a copy and watched it.. the original is a grade A, 5 star horror film.. I highly recommend it.. best scares I've gotten from a horror movie in years.
  • gradivus, on 07/10/2008, -4/+3Looks awesome. Zombies for Halloween. Now the rest of you crybabies either STFU or make something better!
  • moonguidex, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8Rec will always be better... What's the deal with not showing good foreign movies in U.S.A. theatres?
  • yelnatz, on 07/10/2008, -2/+5I like "Rec" better. Hot girl + Zombies! :)
    ps. Rec is where they based this movie from.
    • halogenik, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1...except the girl isn't hot, she's that chick that looks like a foot from Dexter.
  • mikeophile, on 07/10/2008, -1/+4I think that trailer pretty much summarizes the entire movie. Dugg for the flying zombie baby.
  • rex84, on 07/10/2008, -2/+9Yay! I've been selected to win an IPod touch!
  • gcnaddict, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2"The following preview has been approved for restricted audiences only by the Motion Picture Association of America, inc."

    Wait, what the *****? It's a green redband trailer?
  • Lunarparcel, on 07/10/2008, -6/+0A number of comments speculate that this looks like a cross between 28 days later and Cloverfield. I think that to be more specific it looks like a mashup between Cloverfield, Warning Sign, and Panic Room. Warning Sign is an older film (mid-80s) but definitely a pre-cursor to the 28 Days Later / Resident Evil take on raging biozombies in a quarantined facility.
    • Jhiaxuz, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Don't ever put Resident Evil near 28 Days Later.

      RE is a ***** trilogy which got progressively (exponentially) worse with story, script, and characters. I mean seriously, who here thought they were watching Mad Maxx with zombies as they attempted to watch Extinction?
      • Lunarparcel, on 07/10/2008, -1/+0"Don't ever put Resident Evil near 28 Days Later. "

        I won't have such ultimatums put to me.

        Let me take a moment to stoop down on one knee so that I can be better understood.

        In my post, I did not mention the RE trilogy. I mentioned Resident Evil in its context of "zombies" created through biochemical intervention, resulting in some form of outbreak and subsequent quarantine. 28 Days Later utilized a similar premise (admittedly towards a wholly different construct), as did Warning Sign. This is not open to debate. It is simply a fact regarding a fundamental plot element to each of these films.

        My post was in no way attempting to offer a critical assessment of the storytelling efficacy through the Resident Evil franchise, nor to compare it in any other way against the merits of 28 Days Later or any other film.
    • moogle516, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1A number of comments are saying this is an exact recreation of the spanish movie REC.
  • digichris, on 07/10/2008, -2/+3I'm not even gonna d/l that.
  • DrZmobie, on 07/10/2008, -2/+1I don't like to think of it as hollywood running out of ideas or it just being another remake. I personally don't speak spanish, so it's nice to see an english version of this film, which looks amazing.
    • icannotfly, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1You can read subtitles though, right?

  • zdiggler, on 07/10/2008, -1/+2Wouldn't called MUST SEE! thought. Just like any other zombie movie.
  • nickymouse, on 07/10/2008, -2/+7oh wow... highly original. I'm so glad the writers strike is over so we can watch Hollywood churn out more ***** movies at a break neck pace. I would much rather pay triple the movie ticket cost to see a Christopher Nolan movie then any generic zombie movie... with twist.
    Producer: I got a great idea for a movie.
    Studio Exc: What is it?
    Producer: A zombie movie!
    Studio Exc: It's been done to death.
    Producer: Wait... It's a zombie movie but it's in space and the zombies are monkeys. Also we have Uwe Boll signed as the director.
    Studio Exc: Great! Here's a 25 million bucks.
    • nickymouse, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1sorry for the double post
    • Jhiaxuz, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1In this day and age, nothing will ever be original and anything which comes off as unoriginal will be criticized for being to damn strange. This is where Indy Films come in and that is why we barely hear about them.
  • Jeepy, on 07/10/2008, -1/+3I dunno I can't get into these movies because I always think how they would probably stop filming the first time they saw someone have their face ripped off. Call me crazy but if I'm trapped in an apartment with zombies I'm gunna put down the 80 pound camera equipment.
  • nickymouse, on 07/10/2008, -7/+1oh wow... highly original. I'm so glad the writers strike is over so we can watch Hollywood churn out more ***** movies at a break neck pace.

  • kewbert, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Godamnit. REC :(
  • Megalomatthew, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5I don't understand why they couldn't just release the original (REC) in US theatres. The damn thing looks shot for shot anyway. Plus, it seriously bugs me that the trailer is chalk full of MAJOR SPOILERS that totally ruins the amazing last few scenes of the movie.

    Boo I say...Boo!
    • dontera, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Just finished watching REC, and yeah.. they give away the damn ending.. wtf?
  • sgr215, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Awesome, another cheesy horror movie that usually ends up being a comedy to me. Does Hollywood even try anymore? It's as if they put a bunch of foreign movie names in a hat and picked one to remake. (See: plagiarize)
  • ABadPerson, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1"I think I know what this is." Another zombie movie that never mentions the word zombie. albeit it is the angry fast zombie type.
    • Jhiaxuz, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1They're not quite zombies though as they don't actually die and become reanimated. They just simply turn much like the Rage infected citizens in 28 x Later.

      Then again, zombies in zombie movies aren't really zombies anyway.
  • l800LEMMINGS, on 07/10/2008, -3/+1I'm glad they made an exact version in english, but i wish they called it rec and gave the spanish version original credit
  • HanSolo69, on 07/10/2008, -4/+1Holy ***** that looks stupid. "Let's take that Cloverfield thing, remove everything that was cool about that, read the book on how to make ***** movies, cover to cover people, then let's get drunk, quit, let the studio replace us with a couple of rocks, and don't forget to press record before walking off the set. Now that's how you make a movie."
  • DuneAdx, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8You can find all of REC on youtube. It's 8 parts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN-2iyAr4l0
  • FluentinSarcasm, on 07/10/2008, -1/+8[REC] which I regret to admit that I torrented (I will be purchasing this as soon as it is released stateside) was a fantastic horror film. I grow evermore impressed with Spanish horror/fantasy ([REC], Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage). Not only do they show creativity which Hollywood films lack nowadays, but they are also well directed and strive for something more than cheap thrills.

    Im not going to see the crappy Hollywood remake when the original is perfectly fine the way it is.

    What made the original so appealing and believable was the shaky cam and the fact that it literally looked as if it was being filmed with a low quality camera. This remake reeks of hollywood's "magic touch" that they so love to put into their remakes. It may look similar, but im positive it wont be anywhere near as good.

    The only thing I think it has going for it, is the lead actress, who is one of the stars of my favorite tv show Dexter, but believe me, that isnt saying much.
  • ProjectGSX, on 07/10/2008, -3/+1Nice, the reporter is the woman who played Dexter's neurotic sister on Dexter. She kicks ass.
  • mxdxo, on 07/10/2008, -2/+2looks exactly like it
  • WheezyMustafa, on 07/10/2008, -3/+2Ya this movie looks awful.
  • doshindude, on 07/10/2008, -4/+1Cloverfield meets I Am Legend....great............crappy CGI zombies AND bad camerawork!
    • crazydonat30, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1another fail by someone who thinks they know cinema.
  • icannotfly, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Not only is it EXACTLY the same as [rec], they gave away then ENTIRE move in the trailer, including the ENDING. I am so amazingly disappointed right now.
    • crazydonat30, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1maybe thats what they wanted to do. for reasons unknown.
  • Pegritz, on 07/10/2008, -6/+1[Rec] was a good idea, *very* poorly executed--even worse than the execrable Diary of the Dead. *This* actually looks like it could be good.
  • pkactus, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2[REC] was great
  • jellydoughnut21, on 07/10/2008, -1/+2Could be cool, I like the idea of using the hand camera to convey the feeling of tight claustrophobic spaces, one of the key elements to a good horror movie. However at the same time I'm skeptical about another hand camera movie. We shall see though.
  • brett1337, on 07/10/2008, -1/+2one... bumpy... camera... SO ORIGINAL
  • ZzFDKzZ, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2You guys gotta go watch Rec.
  • baudbwoy, on 07/10/2008, -1/+2yet another of hollywoods epic Fails
    • crazydonat30, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1the original doesnt fail. and this one is an exact copy with different actors. how does it fail?
  • sandbags, on 07/10/2008, -2/+0ZOMBIEFIELD!!!!
  • chanelgal, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Wow, that was an awesome film even on Youtube. Not having any notable actors makes it even more scary and being a foreign film definitely added to the thrill. Watching the trailer for Quarantine after seeing Rec makes me wonder why they would even bother sincethey are giving away all the money shots in the preview.
  • VivaLaUndead, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1anyone whose seen this knows they may (not) be zombies
