I liked Clover field better

FindYourWay · 04-23-2009, 03:43 PM

Cloverfield for the win.

Quarantine was fun, but the shrieking towards the end was annoying. Not to mention the dumb attic story line. L-A-M-E.

Cloverfield....

mpstjohn · 04-23-2009, 04:05 PM

Cloverfield is the better of the two.

Grumpz · 04-23-2009, 07:02 PM

We've seen "the Giant Monster terrorizes New York" a bunch of times. Never like it.

I've seen a wack loads of Zombie type movies, but none like this. I enjoyed it for it's uniqueness.

One thing though...if you put 2 rabid dogs in a cage, you'd end up with 1 alive but ripped to shreds, and 1 dead ripped to shreds. Why don't zombies/rabid humans turn on each other?

Zombie etiquette?

Never seen Quarantine and I hated Cloverfield so I guess Quarantine for me.

But yes...that was lame to give us that upfront.

I thought he was suppose to be the one responsible for originally mutating the virus. which is why he seemed more evolved then the other "zombies", because he's been infected much longer. I don't remember anything about a man from boston, but i was pretty stoned. can u elaborate?

He's

Like you said, I put that together, but noticed that one physical feature about him that didn't make sense. It's real long.

I liked Cloverfield but hated Quarantine

Todd Smith · 04-24-2009, 03:33 AM

I enjoyed both, but I liked Cloverfield more no doubt about it.

when was the last time you saw an advanced-rabies-infected-superhuman- zombie at the barber?

I liked both, but Cloverfield tops it!

as for how it was shot; I went to see them both when they came out in Theaters. ppl were leteraly sick after cloverfield, one person beside me even had to leave to throw up! Quarintine wasn't any more subtle but imo wasn't as bad as Clover. I'm not really a fan of those 1st person kind of movies but I diddnt hate them either.

CLOVERFIELD

StimpsonJCat · 04-29-2009, 07:41 PM

I had no interest in seeing Cloverfield, but really liked it (gives the Sub a workout). I also liked Quarantine, but not nearly as much.

Could never sit through Blair Witch for some reason and thought Diary of the Dead was ok on late night cable.

Adam.C · 04-29-2009, 08:01 PM

I thought both from a movie/ storyline standpont were ok... But the sound on Colverfield! :0 . Quarantine was actually I thought one of the most creepy movies ive seen in a while. The surround effects were nice to add to the feel.

Mobe1969 · 04-29-2009, 09:06 PM

I recognized the girl from Dexter

Not swearing as much though.

A great movie, Quarrantine. I can't be bothered with the original though.

Cloverfield was not as good in my books.

marcellusk · 04-29-2009, 10:44 PM

Cloverfiled was deff better. Quarantine was fun but what ruined it was that

Btw, anyone else bothered that the marketing numbskulls basically RUINED the movie by using the ending (ie SPOILER) of Quarantine as the fricking boxart?

I think this makes me appreciate Cloverfield even more. The first time I saw the trailer for Quarantine with Jennifer Carpenter being dragged away from the camera, I knew I'd seen the final shot of the movie. It was kind of like the trailers for movies in the '70s and early '80s where all the good parts were revealed prematurely. The mock trailers in Grindhouse are perfect examples.

So I bought Quarantine because I was interested in the events leading up to that final shot. When I first saw Cloverfield, I knew nothing going in other than the fact that it was a disaster movie of some sort. Because of that, I was blown away by certain parts of it. Go figure.

Cloverfield is supposed to be filmed by amateur characters.
while Quarantine is filmed by a TV (small) crew.

and BTW,

Cloverfield >>> all
