Enough with those annoying viral videos, we’ve finally got a real look at John Erick Dowdle’s QUARANTINE! UGO is hosting the brand new teaser, which you can check out right HERE!
While most know this is a remake of the Spanish horror flick [REC], there’s no doubt that this brief trailer evokes heavy-duty memories of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT… Considering that movie is nine years old already – and we never got a truly effective ripoff – I suppose we’re ready for this film… Although let’s first hope that it’s as good as [REC] is supposed to be.
The flick tells the story of what happens when television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. 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. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape.
QUARANTINE hits theaters on October 17.
