---|---|---|---|
United States | LA Weekly | "It's a shame that this English-language cover of an excellent Spanish shocker will eclipse the original" | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "It has taken less than a decade, but the concept of horror films filmed documentary-style has officially become a tiresome cliche." | NEU |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "An American remake of the Spanish horror movie '[Rec]' that adopts the same basic recipe, but removes any hint of flavour or texture" | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "The template is familiar, but Quarantine delivers the heebie-jeebies with solid acting and perfectly calibrated shocks" | POS |
United States | Variety | "A modestly inventive, sporadically exciting thriller that nonetheless proves too faithful to its central conceit for its own good" | NEU |
United States | Slant | "An affair that aims low and succeeds well in such." | NEG |
United States | ReelViews | "It's easily the weakest entry into this ever-expanding category and is inferior to its subtitled source material. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEU |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Without resorting to computer-generated monsters or supernatural explanations, it uses consistent logic and confinement to find new ways of being scary." | POS |
United States | AV Club | "Quarantine feels awfully familiar, and it grows less convincing with each passing moment" | NEG |
