This Spanish horror is the unfortunate subject of a disappointing US remake, Quarantine, but don't let that put you off enjoying it all the same. The crew of a TV show accompany a group of Barcelona firemen on a routine call to an apartment block, only to find a rabid virus has broken out, and all the exits are sealed off. The results are filmed in brilliant faux-documentary style, drawing inspiration from the likes of The Blair Witch Project. Writers/directors Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza have done a terrific job here, the end result being intense, believable, and very scary.
RATING: 7/10 - A great modern horror, proving that it doesn't have to be Hollywood to be scary
