Dante Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Saw this trailer a couple months ago at the theatre. Maybe a horror version of cloverfield? http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/quara...atrical-trailer
Dante Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Looks like a Blair Witch Project wannabe to me. bah...Fairly familiar concept but vid cam perspective should make it interesting.
apuszczalowski Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Resident Evil meets the Blair Witch??? well, seeing as how Cloverfield was basically Blair Witch meets Godzilla................
Hazed and Amuzed Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Blair Witch meets Godzilla................ Eugene Levy stared in that didn't he?
apuszczalowski Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Eugene Levy stared in that didn't he? hmmmm, that may have made it a better movie
The Big Cat Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Seriously? Seriously. Aside from the fact that the camcorder used would have run out of battery/tape about half way through the film. Name for me a better American monster-disaster film from the last 10 years. Of course it's going to be cheesy at times, and of course the acting is going to be wooden. Getting past those things, I was satisfied. Not blown away. Satisfied.
bartshan-83 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Me too. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Absolutely agree. I don't need movies that are wrapped up with a bow and the audience is given an answer sheet. I thought it was a great flick and I loved that it left so many questions. But when I read/heard others' views on it, the vast majority was pounding on it for the same reasons I liked it. I liked that they used a no name cast. I like that they stayed true to the concept ("this is probably how YOU really would react if this happened and you had a camera"). And I liked that it kept me wondering when I left the theater. Movies like that are good for a change of pace.

The monster was pretty sweet, and concealing its appearance during the early promos made for an exciting release. When the movie began, I thought to myself- "Oh boy, here we go. A cheesy love story and some far-fetched plot I don't/won't give a SH-T about." But then as the movie un-folded, I was surprised at the gravity some of the character relationships held. Granted, I watched the movie using the same cheese-filter I used at Indy this summer! Nevertheless, it was short (read: didn't drag on), made its point, and stuck to its guns. Quite satisfying indeed. I doubt I'll ever see "Quarantined."
