We originally planned to spend the day at Universal but because of their weird hours (they close at 6pm) and the fact that they only do their Halloween Horror Nights on the weekends, we decided to nix the idea. I was really interested in going because I am looking for the masks that were worn in the horror movie The Strangers. Since Universal made the movie and their Halloween Horror Nights feature people wearing those masks walking around the park, I was hoping they might have them for sale. If anyone out there knows where I might be able procure those masks, please shoot me a message.

Anyways, D and I decided to go see Quarantine (which is the US remake of the Spanish film [REC] which was released in Spain last year) for our night’s entertainment:


As far as epic horror films go, this one isn’t of the Silence of the Lambs caliber but D and I enjoyed the movie very much. I was previously able to watch the Spanish original in full earlier this year and I loved it … I found this US remake a very true remake of the film. All the key points were kept intact with only minor changes to mix things up a bit. Dexter’s Jennifer Carpenter does a great job in the lead role. I just lurve her!! Creepy and gross, this movie really keep us on the edge of our seats — we had a great time. Is this film headed for the Horror Hall of Fame? Prolly not. Is it worth checking out for a few gross and scary chills? Hellz yes! It’s a fun time.

Not sure what is on tap for ce soir … but it’s the weekend, y’all … I’m sure they’ll be lots o’ fun to choose from.

Quarantine is the US remake of the Spanish horror film [REC] (which is absolutely horrifying). Here are a few pics of Jennifer and Heroes star Dania Ramirez (who also stars in the film):


From everything that I’ve seen from previews of Quarantine, it looks like Tarantino pretty much made an exact replica of the original Spanish film … which is good, in my opinion. I’ve seen [REC] and I loved every second of it … it’s reminiscent of Cloverfield, which I also loved immensely. If Quarantine can be as good as the Spanish original, then I think that US audiences are gonna eat it up. I love Jennifer Carpenter on Dexter so I’m excited to see her in this new film. Dania Ramirez bugs me TO DEATH on Heroes but it’s more the fault of her character rather than her own. As long as she’s not crying black tears and inadvertently killing everyone — and then whining about it afterward — in this new movie, I think I can be cool with her ;) Quarantine is in theaters now!
