DVD Review "QUARANTINE" Score B- 80%

Quarantine is a little independent film that ramps up the tension by quickly setting it in a single location. This movie is a pseudo zombie flick, posing a little like a self contained "28 Days later". Its decently shot but a lot of it is a little too dark to see what is going on at time times. The actors are OK... not great but not horrible either. SPOILER ALERT: So this movie is about a young hot journalist who is doing a story about the local Fire Dept., the entire movie is shot by the cameraman who is shooting the story for her. After some lame 15 minutes or so of her around the station... the call goes out and they tag along to the scene of the call. The police are already on scene and have a deranged woman in her apartment, bloodied and confused, as they attempt to help her she attacks. A cop is down, then a fireman. Quickly we find out that the SWAT, CDC and Local Government are outside the building and have refused to let anyone out. A convenient veterinarian happens to be in the building and diagnoses that they have an outbreak of super rabies. As pretty much everyone in the building either becomes infected or killed in the next hour, the cameraman records it all. Ultimately they end upstairs in the floor occupied by the scientist creator of the virus who is now a naked half dead zombie creature, and as there is no power the last scenes we are forced to watch in night vision. Until our lead girl is dragged out of frame. Its an entertaining enough movie to keep your interest but as usual the characters are all dumb and make some of the worst decisions given the situations.
