Quarantine (2008)
7/10
Think 28 Days Later & Demons 2!!! A Real Survivor Shocker
17 March 2020
"Quarantine" was totally gripping & very exciting as well as very scary!!!

I normally Don't like "Found Footage" type films, except for the Brilliant Blair Witch Project from 1999, anyway this movie looks & really feels like a real Documentary & puts you right there in the middle of the madness. I felt the performances were spot on, especially from Jennifer Carpenter, who plays the t.v reporter following around a team of firemen with her cameraman, they answer a call on their night shift. The other standout performance is from the excellent Jay Hernandez, he's been great in Suicide Squad,Hostel & Bright. Here Hernandez plays one of the firemen who answers that fateful call to an apartment building where a terrifying infection has spread & the residents are rabid & trying to bite & kill people. We see what the Cameraman is filming the whole time so it's intense & claustrophobic.

It's a very scary & very real set-up for an intense Horror Thriller.

I got cool vibes of 28 days later & Demons 2 & that waa awesome as I'm a big fan of both films.

The scenes through the dark hallways are terrifying as the infected are all over the place & could pop out of any room, it's very intense fear. But along with the scares & raw gory bits, it's still an exciting film as they move from floor to floor investigating & trying to survive the night in a locked down & Quarantined building.

Quarantine, is a gritty & realistic style found footage/documentary Horror that has a gripping & terrifying atmosphere & some excellent intense performances. Excellent film.
