RojoQuarantine
I love zombie movies
I hope one day they run around
Hell if the government makes it that will be better than what they did when they made crack
(did I just say that, oops)
Sadly the people in the film weren’t ready to act in a film like this. The POV camera wasn’t ready to be used in this genre. Did you see Diary of the Dead?
Anyway the plot is this news cast is shadowing a fire department. The four main characters Angela Vidal, Scott Percival, and Jake. The main characters flirt the night away until they get a call that takes them to an apartment that has a woman who’s been screaming. I’m not going to ruin the story but.... everyone else turns into zombies and the government locks them inside! Angela is played by Jennifer Carpenter, who is best known as Dexter’s sister. ( a much better role for her) In this she is a very weak girl that screams and cries way to much. A realistic but overall annoying approach to her character. The rest of the living cast are kinda dumb. and that’s an understatement. They yell and scream at one another. And make very stupid mistakes, the lead to them dying. YAY! Living people!
The zombies are intense. They are ugly, super strong, and hard to kill. They start off as only one and slowly grow into the entire cast. Leaving the last surviving members no where to go. Crying to find a way out. It’s a mad house with people desperately trying to survive.
The movie’s camera wants to take the act like the camera from Cloverfield, where you only see what needs to be seen. Sadly it fails because in Cloverfield you see what you want to see THEN the camera turns away. In Quarantine, the camera turns, or shakes, right when you want to see the zombie chewing off some girls face.
Fun fact: the cameraman, Scott, kills a zombie with the camera! He uses the lenses side to smash the zombies face it. It’s not scary, but hilarious!
