Quarantine is a 2008 remake of the Spanish film [REC]. It’s directed by John Erick Dowdle and written by him and his brother Drew Dowdle.  The plot of the movie is extremely simple.  A reporter (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are spending a shift shadowing the LA Fire Department.  They go after them following a medical emergency call and quickly the situation spins out of control leading to them as well as the firemen, some police officers, and the buildings inhabitants all being quarantined.  It’s shot in a first person point of view as if everything you see is what the cameraman caught, similar to a “Blair Witch Project” or “Cloverfield” and “Paranormal Activity”.

In that shot, Angela tells the fire man “don’t worry about camera, pretend it’s not even there”, the director uses this dialog and technique for decreasing the distance between the audience and the...
