Title: What's The Point?
Review: European, Asian, and Australian films have really made an impact on me over the last few months. After seeing "I Stand Alone", "Irreversible", "Eden Lake" (and several other Dimension Extreme titles), and of course "Rec" -I truly have become jaded towards American horror. "Quarantine" is exemplary. This film tries to virtually copy "Rec" scene for scene with lower grade scares and FX. Unless your're a completist just skip it and watch "Rec". Even those who hate subtitles will be glad they did. What's with this trend anyway? Even Michael Haneke remade "Funny Games", his own film, for crissakes. This unneeded remake cycle seemed to occur about the time Gus Van Sant made his biggest mistake in tackling "Psycho" which I think everyone agrees was a waste of celluloid. As much as films cost to make nowadays one would think there would be better things to "Rec".
Is the review positive or negative?
