About

If you want claustrophobic, panic-filled horror like REC or [Rec]², Quarantine delivers plenty of tension and scares; Not for you if you dislike found-footage films or get put off by frantic screaming and handheld-style viewing.

Pros: relentless fear; strong acting; claustrophobic tension | Cons: shaky/handheld discomfort; some annoying behavior; divisive originality
