Quarantine: Think again


By Sable Harris

Once again that time of the year has come for the spooky, scary movies. Maybe you should second-guess your decision on what or what not to see in the theaters!

The 2008 thriller Quarantine may sound chilling, but it is just another New Zealand remake. The film takes place in a cordoned off apartment building. As reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) shadows two fire men Jack (Jay Hernandez) and George (Jonathon Sehaech) as they are called into duty to this barricaded apartment building. Angela soon sees that being a firefighter isn’t just a walk up the ladder.

As the tenants, Vidal, and the fire department are all confined to the apartment by the government, the quarantined victims begin to go crazy and attack the healthy victims. They are attacked one by one by the quarantined apartment tenants.
This film is overwhelmed with action, and it begins to get a little bit boring. The constant attacks and containment in the apartment begins to get repetitive I give the movies two and a half squares.

Silly question, but four squares is the best? This sounds like another run-of-the-mill horror flick.
