Disease Control - Quarantine Review

My friend told me to not see this movie. She absolutely begged. "It's horrible," she said. "So goddamn horrible." But I'm on a mission - I must be brave.

I saw Quarantine.

To be honest, I was expecting it to be worse. Oh, it was pretty bad, but most horror movies are nowhere near perfect; it's usually the cheesiness we like, isn't it?

Quarantine starts out in a firehouse where a woman is reporting the daily routine of the firemen, and also being all flirty and cute and stuff *giggle* Because she has personality or whatever. The firemen get a call in the night and she follows them to an apartment building, where Quarantine really begins. Instead of filming a routine emergency call, Miss Personality and her cameraman spend the night outrunning the effects of a highly violent disease.


Pretty much anything I say from this point on will spoil the movie, but really, the movie spoils itself. No one hazards a guess as to what the disease could be, even though it's ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OBVIOUS. It's a little insulting, really.

But there are good points about Quarantine. I liked that it didn't depend on gross-out moments, but they still had them in there. A few points could easily make someone jump. And, it was entertaining, I guess. Definitely no rewatch value, though.

Verdict: if you can find it on OnDemand for free or somehow not pay for it, go for it.
