Persons Unknown (1996)
this movie should been a good short.
Right after the male protagonist went to those two sister girls, this movie went straight downhill and that's just about half way through the film. There are some really bad editings in this film. TOO BAD that they are so obvious to the point you'll know that those scenes or actions happened probably right after the director called "Action!" Some of the scenes where one actor doesn't have lines but needs to be in the shot are so raw. These scenes look like a rehearsal rather than a professional shot. I guess either the director didn't spend time with the actors in rehearsal or he doesn't care about rehearsals. The cinematography in this film is bad too, lack of interesting angles, depth of field, no contrast or hightlight...and so you can't feel the tension in certain scenes where they are supposed to hold your breath. The climax is a JOKE. I had to laugh so hard when I saw this is really how the film ended. It's a direction lack of wit or hard work basically speaking... too much negative stuff about this movie and it'll keep me talking for the rest of the day. Well, when a movie went so badly wrong, we would always have to assume the director doesn't do a good job first, bad directing on set, communication, prep work..... It's a low budget movie I understand but low budget doesn't mean the quality of the production has to be rubbish.
Quarantine (2008)
A very stupid movie
Half way through, the movie turned into a competition of the dead biting the alive. No logical, continuous story line after that at all, if there's any from the beginning. Camera works' not so good. If you have motion sickness, please be sure to take pills before watching. The camera man might have been on drugs. Overall, the director's take made the movie not possible to grab the audience attention through half of its running time. I regretted that I have checked it out from the store and will refuse to watch any kind of sequel or similar movies to it. It's a horrible remake Rec. Anyway, stay away from it or simply "seal it."
