# Yes, I enjoyed that one muchly.
However my housemate preferred Night of the Living Dorks, and my girlfriend liked the stupid Samantha Mumba 'Boy Eats Girl' better. They're all teeny zombie flicks but nowhere near as good as Dance of the Dead.

# We've had a few good chats
about these films in the past and I'm sure you remember that I think 99% of them are pants.
But I'd be interested in your take on the whole Quarantine / REC thing.

# REC is amazing.
Don't want to see Quarantine on principle really. I mean, a shot-for-shot remake just because the original had subtitles? Good grief, do they think we're all morons, or is that just for the Americans...

# I'm not a big fan of any of the
shaky, hand-held camera stuff, especially when it's pitched to me in a way that I'm expected to believe it's a true event. However I enjoyed REC ( I never shy from subs and my Spanish is ok enough to watch the likest of El Orfanato and El laberinto del fauno without them )
REC was quite good having said that but still not WOW enough for me. I can't get my head around the 'Dark and shaky' concept, makes me feel that the script must be weak and they have to employ gimmicks to bolster it.
As for quarantine? Yes you are correct. I could not understand the point.

edit:// apologies for the delay responding. I had a house full of kids descend upon me.
