Quarantine

This was an interesting movie. Starts off kind of slow, ...boring, ...almost annoyingly so, but then as it gets going, ...it picks up the pace becoming real interesting. There were long sequences throughout the film where you're just rivetted on the edge of your seat, holding your breath.

In certain places, I found Jennifer Carpenter to "overact" a bit, ...but then again, if in that same situation,
...who knows how any one of us would react.  :-\

Quarantine

Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, Internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew's videotape.

Good movie.  I agree...I'm a big fan of zombie movies.

I just watched it.

It was ok. The ending was bad though. Left open for a possible sequel?

I've always enjoyed zombie type horror films, but they are too common now and most of them are shit.

28 Days Later set the benchmark pretty high, imo.
No doubt about it...
