to rip off Cloverfield's excellent camera work.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! That is funny. What? Some people running around with cameras like some gross amateurs? If that is good I would hate to see bad.

I have no idea what Quarantine is but will have to check it out.

EDIT: I watched the trailer. It looks like your average Zombie movie with bad camera work. I will Netflix it I suppose.
I can't really tell you what's considered amateur camera work or not but I can see art when it's there. Whether or not the camera work was amateur, it went PERFECTLY with what the movie was supposed to be: a semi-apocalyptic, horror movie. It made you feel part of the movie rather than watching it and you could almost feel the impact when a massive foot comes crashing down on the street a few feet beside the actor/camera man. Some of the best movies ever made (according to the majority) used hand-helds to the same effect, (Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, etc).

Also, some of those scenes wouldn't have worked as well with the traditional stabilized cameras, like, the very fact it was supposed to be filmed by a person in the movie, and the parts where they drop the camera, and the one part where the guy wipes blood off the lense.
Yeah since when did Steven Spielberg use a camcoder to film Saving Private Ryan? The effect was created in post production to create intensity.

Oh and "rip off Cloverfield..." apparntly you don't remember the crap fest of The Blair Witch project.

The trailer for Quarantine sort of ruined [REC] for me, since it's pretty much the ending. But that didn't stop [REC] from becoming my favourite horror movie, so it obviously didn't ruin it too much. I admit though, I'm sort of curious about Quarantine just to see what they do with things.

Alls this talk about crappy hand cameras and no one says a thing about the Blair Witch Project? They did it first (unless I'm wrong, in which case they didn't).
