Okay, you're either going to:

A) Think this movie was the greatest thing since THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT
B) Get sick of all the shaking
C) Be scared $hitless
D) Laugh throughout and think that this is the lamest horror movie made in a long time


I don't know about Beautiful, but I thought this movie was pretty good. A step above Blair Witch. I know she was getting scared towards the end. I thought it was kinda creative considering the genre.

QUARANTINE is a movie filmed like a documentary in which a newsreporter and her cameraman start off filming firemen, but then end up getting more than they bargained for. The movie starts off pleasant, almost like a college dorm, then gets crazy pretty quickly. The firemen take a call to an apartment building where, yes, they all end up being quarantined.

What's going on is...you'll figure it out. The shaky filming provide the perfect effect for scaring the bejesus out of you. Creepy things come in and out of view. The camera light goes in and out. Lots of running away. Pretty suspenseful stuff. Or you might think its lame. Or you might throw up.

Again, we actually liked the movie. Pretty scary. Pretty predictable though. Short and sweet, running time-wise. Like riding a roller coaster. I thought everyone acted pretty $hitty pretty well. They had to act like they were actually filming a documentary. That must be hard. Like playing yourself. Although playing with yourself is not too hard. Unless it's not hard. Or so I've heard.

Remember when Blair Witch first came out and everybody thought it was real? Then, when we found out that it was a hoax, the movie lost its appeal and all you had was some chick with boogers coming out of her nose running around in the forest from nothing but the sound of stepped-on branches and her imagination. I guess perception can be scarier than reality. And a lot more interesting. And, I guess, more believable.

Pretty good movie. Quick, immediate, spooky dose of Hershey squirts in the pants. Watch it at night with the lights off and I'll bet it's even scarier. I give this movie two minutes of grainy, dark footage and a lot of shaking and screaming and a big snake trying to get in that bush...
