Profile of Quarantine

The mood of Quarantine is tense, rough, and suspenseful. The plot centers around a plague, journalism, and conspiracies. It is a horror movie. Stylistically, Quarantine is gory. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The setting is Los Angeles. Quarantine happens in contemporary times. It is a remake. It is especially suggested for teens. Note that Quarantine includes profanity and violent content.

Summary of Quarantine

Fans of the handheld camerawork of CLOVERFIELD and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT will find much to like in this remake of Spanish film REC. Jennifer Carpenter (DEXTER) stars as a TV journalist who finds herself far too close to the action of her latest story. When she and her cameraman (Steve Harris, THE PRACTICE) start filming an "average" incident at an apartment building, they realize that one of the building's tenants is the victim of a horrific contagious disease and a quarantine will keep them from escaping.

Stephen rated this movie8/10Great

"Quarantine" was a good Halloween-season scare flick. I thought it owed a lot to "Night of the Living Dead" and was very much in keeping with the spate of plague flicks of the past few years, too. I didn't see anything particularly original about... Read and rate it
