I saw the original that Quarantine is based on (Rec). It is a truly scary horror movie. Probably the best I've seen since The Descent. However, if Quarantine is shot in the same manner, I would expect it to be much like Cloverfield's Blu-ray release (minus the huge monster and plus zombies). I say, if you can get a for a reasonable price, take the plunge.

I believe it was mentioned somewhere that blindness was going to see release later in the year. Not sure on that though. There has been a handful of movies that had the blu version scrapped. How to lose friends and alienate people, city of ember, blindness just to name a few. Hopefully we see all these later this year.

IMO Quarantine is one of the best horror movies that have actually gotten a full theatrical release in the last year or so.

Got this the other day, french import, pretty decent movie, reminded me of Children of men a lot, anyway its region B locked, featuring an at times top notch transfer, audio is DTS-HD MA 5.1, good track but not a bombtastic type of film.

I liked both [rec] and Quarantine, however they may have limited repeat viewing appeal.

The picture quality on Blu is worth the upgrade. Not reference material, but certainly better than the DVD.

Unfortunately, the [REC] Blu is about $50, if you can track it down.

Here's my Quarantine Blu-Ray and Movie itself review:

Video: 4/5
Audio: 4.5/5
Movie Itself: 3.5/5

It's decent for what it was. The original [REC] is much better, but Quarantine is worth seeing, but it's basically a shot for shot remake of [REC] with sometimes even the exact same dialogue and camera angles. But, Jennifer Carpenter is a terrific actress in this and really shows amazing fear throughout. If anything, I recommend renting Quarantine to see if you like it, and then buying [REC] on Blu-Ray from Spain if you can. I bought it from Spain and it was well worth importing, but it's Region B so you'll have to be able to play discs from other regions to play this one, unfortunately. [REC]2 comes out reasonably soon, so I'm excited for that.

I got mine last summer for $35 shipped, brand new...
But THAT'S worth the blind buy, however you have to be careful since it's region B locked.
