Prismark10 Quarantine 2: Terminal sees passengers and crew on a flight from Los Angeles get freaked out when a fat guy shows symptoms of a deadly virus and starts puking up. They are forced to land and are quarantined inside an airport terminal.However the infection spreads as the survivors try to escape from the terminal and the rampaging infected people who have gone rabid.The film really does not make much logical sense, the first third of the film is set on a plane but wisely leaves the claustrophobia behind when it moves to the airport setting. The story expands to bring in a crazed scientist whose experiments might had created the virus and you certainly will not want to get eye to eye with him.

bowmanblue In case you didn't know, 'Quarantine 2: The Terminal' is the sequel to a movie (Quarantine, oddly enough) which was, in itself, a remake of (an excellent) Spanish horror film, 'REC.' Both REC and the first Quarantine movie were primarily known for being shot entirely through the use of hand-held/first-person video footage. However, in the sequel, they do away with the 'point of view' aspect for the most part and what you're left with is a pretty standard zombie movie.And the zombies are the 'infected' type (if you haven't seen 28 Days/Weeks Later that means they run and are generally a lot faster) as opposed to the classic 'shuffler' zombies. So, a flight is grounded in a terminal and the plane's passengers have to survive inside a terminal while zombies pick them off one by one.As a standard zombie movie it does the job. It has a few moments where the (fast) zombies jump out and grab someone. However, it's never more than average. You'll find it hard to recognise any actor and the characters are also the standard clichéd types you'd expect from a straight-to-DVD release.If you're not completely tired with zombie movies, you might like this one, otherwise, stick with an early George Romero movie or the Walking Dead.

Leofwine_draca While QUARANTINE was the American remake of the Spanish zombie film REC, QUARANTINE 2: TERMINAL is not a remake of REC's sequel, REC 2. Instead, it's a stand-alone sequel that sees a group of survivors struggling to cope when one of their number is infected during a routine flight from LAX.Sadly, QUARANTINE 2 turns out to be as familiar and by rote as you'd expect from this stagnating genre. The whole zombie thing has truly be done to death (or should that be un-death?) these past few years, and nowhere is that more evident than here. In fact, this isn't even the first zombies-on-a-plane film I've watched; I've already had the misfortune of sitting through FLIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, which was equally poor.Most of the film is set within the bowels of an airport terminal, which just has the normal disused warehouse look to it. The small cast are full of uninteresting characters and the acting is uniformly bland from the entire group. The director has some experience of writing cheesy B-movies but his inexperience behind the camera shows. They also get rid of the whole 'found footage' aspect here, which was a bit disappointing; at least it would have made the attempted scares more immediate.

Wizard-8 I thought that the first "Quarantine" movie was just okay, so I was not expecting that much with this sequel, seeing that it was released straight to DVD. Though I watch straight to DVD movies all the time, I know all too well that more limited budgets make it harder for these movies to stand up to their theatrical predecessors.Actually, I didn't find this movie too bad. Though low budget, it doesn't really look that cheap at any moment. It's well photographed and effectively lit. It helps that they actually filmed on a real airplane, and apparently at a real airport where most of the movie unfolds. It moves at a brisk pace, so there are no dull spots. And there are a few intense spots. This movie doesn't reinvent the wheel, but horror genre fans will find it an agreeable way to pass the time.
