My Review:
So, i got my start too. I wanted to check this out beacuse of the lead actress in this. And it got some good reviews. The movie is a typical horrorflick. Reminded me very much of the spanish version "REC" but the story is ok, the acting is actually allright from the lead. And its an ok movie,. A movie you should check out for a cheap penny. If you like her, or the genre.












My Rating:
4/6

Reminded me very much of the spanish version "REC" [...]

Well, it is a remake...

[Piffi]

Yeah, i didnt know that before i watched it  and i have to say. Even tho this was a allright movie. I enjoyed the originals best.

[Achim]

Yeah, i didnt know that before i watched it  and i have to say. Even tho this was a allright movie. I enjoyed the originals best.

The first two were awesome and refreshing, although the second one was quite similar to the first. I am not sure what to think of the third one; I give them kudos for doing something new, but the story didn't keep me captivated the whole time.

[addicted2dvd]

I really liked Quarantine myself... but never seen the original myself.

[Piffi]

You should Pete, you would really like it havent got to watch anything yet. Expect the one there. Hopefully i got some time after work tomorrow to check out one or two movies.

My Review:
So i havent been able to watch any movies lately. Because of too much work going on. And the next two weeks i will work the graveyard shift. So then i wont be able to watch much either. Going to be a slow month! And after that i'm leaving for a week on vacation! Anyways back to the movie i just watched. I remember most of the first movie, even tho it was a long time since i've seen that. But i enjoyd the first one. And the follow up movie started of "where they ended" in the first one. The story is very similar to the first movie. But they was able to put some cool twists here and there in it. And it had it moments. For a horror movie it did ok, but for the follow up, i've seen better and seen worse. I will give them this, the ending was interesting. Will there be a third movie? All in all, if you did enjoy the first movie. You would enjoy this one aswell.

My Review:
To be honest with you guys, i dont remember if i've watched this or not. Dont remember anything of it anyway. The movie had this cool mix between horror and great sci-fi. The story was a bit out there. But it was perfect for the movie. It was a great start to the series i think. Alot of cool moments here and there. Stuff happening in every corner, stuff you didnt see coming. And a solid Milla in the lead as Alice. If your in to Milla or horror and Sci-Fi this is a must watch IMHO. I'm looking forward to check out the movie number 2 aswell.

My Review:
Was watching this a bit earlier today. The movie that was a continuation from the first one was actually not too bad. The story was fun, but they missed a few great opportunites here and there. And some of the spots was waay too out there. Even for the movie. But there was a few real good moments trough out. Alot of 'Zombies' and alot of blood. And Milla is doing a good job so far as Alice! I'm starting to like this. This one aswell is recommanded even tho it wasnt as good as the first one.

My Review:
This one i just got to my collection actually. I had heard good things about it. But the sequal was just on the theaters and i read great things about the follow up and the person behind it so i decided to give the first one a try, and if i liked that i would get the second one when that comes out sometime. And did i like it? The movie is actually great! It starts out as any other horror movie, but then everything changes. They did a great job with the story and the plot for being such a small budget movie. And there was alot of creepy and good scary moments trough out. I truly enjoyed it! And with an ending like that, how can you not want to see the sequal? I know i'm looking forward to check it out when it comes out! This is highly recommanded!

My Review:
A Haunting in Connecticut 2 huh? Give me a break! Had nothing to do with the original movie. And actually enjoyed the first movie a great bit. Great horror flick. And actually based on a true story. Something they say this one is, but i have my doubts. Anyways over to the movie. For a sequal the story was weak. The horror "parts" the scare moments wasnt even there. The movie was too slow and it was annyoing that it wasnt a follow up from the first movie. This was one of those horror movies i really looked forward to check out because of the first one. But was really disappointed about it. If you liked the first one, dont watch this. If you havent seen the original "Haunting In Connecticut" you should watch it! But this one i cant and wont recommand to anyone!
And happy Halloween guys!
