Quarantine: Movie Review

Just got back from seeing Quarantine, the American remake of the Spanish zombie film, [REC]. Enjoyed it! I must've jumped out of my seat at least 3-4 times and I'm pretty jaded when it comes to horror movies. Haven't seen [REC] yet but would recommend seeing Quarantine, even for full price at the theater.

I'm usually not a fan of the POV shakey-cam thing but they did a good job with it. As far as these kinds of POV movies go, Quarantine was a million times better than Cloverfield, Diary of the Dead and Blair Witch Project all put together. My main gripe is Jennifer Carpenter goes into hysterics for what feels like 20-30 minutes near the end and that got a little irritating. And I would have liked to see a bit more personality and maybe some dark humor injected into a few of the characters. There are no memorable lines in the film, like "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth", or "They're dead; they're all messed-up." Contrary to other reviews, I didn't find the shakey-cam "bile-inducing" nor the film to be "too dark."

I'll definitely be renting [REC] when it comes out on DVD in the US!

My New Horror Movie!

Hey Horror Fans,

I just wanted to toss out a teaser that my new horror anthology film is nearing completion. We're still working on a title, but I can tell you the film will feature Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolves, Space Monsters, Cannibals, Psycho Killers, Rednecks, Ninjas, Strippers, Bad Girls with Guns, Explosions, and yes... za-za-za-ZOMBIES!!!

This is my best film yet and light years beyond anything I've done in the past, including THE NECRO FILES. It's a demented, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the "grindhouse" films of the 1970s-80s and the classic monsters we grew up on. Plus, the film is chock full o' gore and sexy naked women!

Since I bet you are most interested in the zombie content, here's the inside scoop on that: there are 4 separate zombie segments running from 7 to 17 minutes each. They all offer a different spin on the creature and 3 of the 4 segments feature hot naked zombie babes!

Website and trailer coming soon...
