"A modestly inventive, sporadically exciting thriller that nonetheless proves too faithful to its central conceit for its own good."
Variety"The template is familiar, but Quarantine delivers the heebie-jeebies with solid acting and perfectly calibrated shocks."
The New York Times"It's a shame that this English-language cover of an excellent Spanish shocker will eclipse the original, at least in U.S. theaters -- but even those who despise remakes will have to admit that director John Erick Dowdle's furious retread is scary as hell."
