*sigh* another unariginal attempt at a horror movie i’ve almost given up on this genre i don’t think i’ve seen anything good or oringinal in years and i’m with all of these remakes.

STOP GIVING MONEY TO THESE (AS I CALL THEM) JUMP SCAR MOVIES finance somthing with a commpelling atmosher and plot.

I hate all this ‘they aren’t technically zombies’ crap that people whip out whenever you call 28 Days Later a zombie movie.
If the movies central premise is a highly infectious virus that makes people want to bite other people, then by god it’s a zombie movie, regardless of how fast said zombies can run.

Just watched this the other day and was incredibly dissapointed, because I loved REC sooooo much, and this was an abomination of a remake. But I can tell spoony doesn’t like these Cam movies I can tell so I tend to not really agree with his opinion about Cloverfield or any other cam movies (Although I hated this movie)

@53> Dude, psychotic people do not a zombie movie make. It has nothing to do with the speed at which people move, it has to do with their physiology. I haven’t seen Quarantine, so I don’t know if these were zombies or not, but 28 Days Later WASN’T a zombie movie. *shrugs* You can call it a zombie movie, that doesn’t make it one.

I watched it and it was preeeeety bad. And to think that the actress who I think starred in Exorcism of Emily Rose was there. I bet the director really hated her so much that he had her in this stupid movie

I felt that I needed to see this to understand how bad it really was so I went and rented it for a dollar. I thought the beginning of the movie was actually way better than any part in the actual apartment. And that scene where he beats the zombie to death with the camera had me laughing my ass off.

I LOL’d so badly at the part where you said that camera man kills the zombie by smacking it with the lens

and `Now your focussing on mah balls

God speed to the person recovering from the surgery

I liked Crystal Skull. I never thought it was as bad as everyone says it is. If anything, it’s only mediocre at best. But, whatever. To every person that hates a movie profoundly, there’s always someone else who loves it deeply.

Hello from Finland! I like your reviews, to the point where I’m commenting on a year-old video. I just wanted to point out that REC is the only, and I mean ONLY horror film that has ever managed to scare me. In my opinion it is very well made. And yeah, I’m not sure who was the old man you were talking about at the end, but the figure walking in the pitch black apartment holding the hammer is the girl the mad doctor was experimenting on. Talk about anorectic. On a side note, I have no idea why americans keep re-making all these asian and european movies. Are subtitles really all that hard to read for you people? It’s just that usually the original is better, tenfold. Not like the Spoony One really still reads these old comments… :D

Did you know Richard Roeper actually gave Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull a thumbs up!!! I know this comment has nothing to do with Quarantine, but i just got a little annoyed with that.

One of the worst fucking movies, that I have ever seen.

67
Chuck August 16, 2009 at 11:39 am

I always assumed it was that grandfather or father of the Asian family that chewed on and then threw that firemen down the stairwell. But then again, I only saw [REC]. I’m planning to see Quarantine soon though, and thoroughly ready to laugh very, very hard.

How do you give away the ending of the movie, with the trailer and poster?? That’s a first for me. About half way through the movie I wondered if the footage, you know, the night vision footage in the trailer was actually in the movie. Then I forgot about it, until the last 10 min…of the movie, and I thought…that’s it? That’s the end? Wow…good thing I paid $3 for that. I saw it in theaters and 2 people(that I saw) walked out and never cam back and that was before the half way point, actually I think they walked out 20-30 min. into the movie.

Handrock September 4, 2009 at 2:54 pm

Wow, 25 minutes about such an awful movie! how long would your comment be, in case of an outraging fantastic one?
In any case, compliments, your comment was really enjoyable and funny, surely much much better than that f***ing movie!

LOL I remember “The Ring” part… Just get out of the room AND BARRICADE THE DOOR. I swear, the people in this movie were extremely stupid.

Carnage1235 September 26, 2009 at 6:22 am

Yeah I didn’t really like Cloverfield. Not terrible, but I didn’t get scared in any actual way, I don’t understand why it was so loved.

76
Draxo September 29, 2009 at 4:36 pm

You were 100% right about this movie.

77
robisalive September 30, 2009 at 12:20 pm

just rented this because i couldn’t find any other horror flick at my local store (fuck blockbuster and hollywood video, corporate swine!!!) and….yea. even the cover of the dvd gave away the ending. but on a more important note….was spoony popin a pill in this review??

The type of camera work, excessive shaking and indicernable close ups seems to be camera work that Michael Bay is obsessed with

This movie was horrible, and it also gave me a wicked headache afterward. I absolutely hated this movie, and I thought it was one of the worst movies in recent history. Side Note: It was shakier than all other shaky movies put together

80
Zach October 2, 2009 at 4:58 pm

@robisalive;

I’m sure it was an advil. You honestly need it after seeing this movie. It gives you such a headache, especially after the first…hour or so. “OMFG we’re all gonna die! WE’RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE!!!” and the camera woman at the end “OMG keep the light on me! KEEP THE LIGHT ON ME!!!!” Sure! Lemme just get a fucking light to begin with, you dumb bimbo >_<

this is probably my most favorite spoony Vlog. I do not know if you made a script for this but you definitely made me laugh my ass off almost the entire video.

letterizer October 7, 2009 at 10:03 pm

he forgot the fucking pace of the movie at the start when i saw it i said “GODDANM GET ON WITH IT”

84
Jacob October 14, 2009 at 2:58 pm

you almost got kicked out for making fun of THIS movie??

wow, they did nothing when me and my friend bashed Eragon… well halfway through the movie everybody was talking on cell phones and shit, nobody paid attention.

And of course I got everyone to laugh when he said those magic words and shot the arrow. Go watch that scene. You see the arrow drop right off the bow while the magic darts forward… so I stood up and shouted “BULLSHIT! That arrow went down on the bridge!”

you are so right, i fucking hated quarantine

Louis Williams October 27, 2009 at 3:41 am

Your dead-on right there dude!

When they stand in the lobby, super-rabies-zombies in the garage, mum super-rabies-zombie on the stairs and a ton of them upstairs…. who decides to try and get to the attic??

Worst yet, did they just tell everyone who was infected at that point to go mad and run around screaming?

If you watch – there is one who flails his arm, runs into a wall and then darts into an empty room…. huh??

I laughed soo hard I cried – and I don’t even have tear ducts. It’s that bad

First off Cloverfield was absolutely not “great”, or even good. It attempted to broaden the scope, and depth capable of POV films, but fell face first off a cliff. The only thing “great” was the marketing, and the ARG. It was a messy, jarring, and boring film that spent more time on developing cookie cutter characters then actually granting entertainment. Children of Men is a great film while Cloverfield was nothing more then a waste of time.

Spoony was spot on with almost every single problem this film had, as well as previous POV films. It’s unfortunate that these type of films always sound so much better then they ever turn out. Suspension of disbelief is hard enough to craft in a regular film, so it would take a complete genius of a director to create it in a POV film. While some of the comments Spoony made are a bit exaggerated, I can’t say I blame him since I was pissed as well when I exited the theater after this piece of shit.

Nick November 3, 2009 at 7:45 am

REC had a very good ending in my eyes, really effective. But the rest of the movie wasn’t that good, pretty typical stuff when it comes to zombie movies. Quarantine… I make it a rule to never EVER watch American remakes unless i hear good things about it from people whos opinions i respect.

89
Sverrir Geir November 3, 2009 at 4:55 pm

That movis was so fucking awful. But we have to remember that the POV camera thing actually works for somethings like Peep Show.

Jonathon November 10, 2009 at 2:07 pm

man, just watched this movie on netflix….too right, this was the worst movie ive ever seen, at first i was oh, cool its like Left 4 Dead, since the zombies in that game are also infected with rabies, albeit an advanced strain, and even the last zombie, the chick, reminded me on the witch, the way she attacked, but other then that, if was just a lame attempt at a POV hauntedhouse style movie, 99% of the scares are predictable, and the ending…really? that was it, why not just kill everyone off in the first half hour and make it a shitty made for tv movie? the whole POV was another stupid thing, yes, cloverfield is so far the best movie ive seen to use that style, and this movie is just trying to rake in on that, im done ranting, lol

Skywalkersc November 10, 2009 at 6:49 pm
