I'm not sure why this film has such a low rating on IMDb. There are, in my opinion, some truly terrifying scenes helped by some convincing acting and perfectly decent special effects. The 'affected' humans are excellent. It's a horror film, and I've seen plenty of horror films from bigger studios and with bigger budgets that are not frightening in any way, and are forgotten five minutes after you've finished watching them. OK, two minutes afterwards...It's grim, dark and unrelenting. If you like the Walking Dead (also grim, dark and unrelenting), then give it a try.I might have to check out Quarantine 1....

This wasn't terrible, its actually a pretty decent B horror flick. Lots of inventive ideas, and interesting passengers as zombie fare. Its scary in sections and while lacking a budget, any actor you've ever heard of before and going straight to DVD this is better than you'd expect.The story follows an airliner that gets grounded after one of the passengers begins to exhibit symptoms of a virus, vomits all over a stewardess and then goes berserk. (According to news footage an apartment building in LA has also been placed in "Quarantine" which is a nod to the first film.) The situation gets worse when the plane is sent to an abandoned terminal and then quarantined by the CDC.As the "rage virus" lets loose the passengers are getting infected one by one (always fun) and fighting to survive. Most of the movie takes place in the baggage sorting section off the runway, the part of the airport we never see and for the most part follows Jenny, the stewardess and George a young boy travelling without his parents.I loved the set up here with all the assorted passengers; man with ALS in wheelchair, army medic, teacher, young couple, pregnant woman, fat guy, business guy. Its always fun guessing who will live and die. Some decent zombie gore, mostly on the gross out end of the spectrum, snot and drool etc including a severe scene with a needle to the eye. A decent inception story as long as you disregard the fact that assorted animals were allowed to ride in the cabin?? And a clever ending too. 4/12/16

This sequel picks up on the same night that the original takes place; a plane departing Los Angeles isn't airborne long when the infection breakout happens on the plane. It is forced to land and a group of passengers fight off infected passengers as they are isolated and cut off by the military in a terminal. They quickly understand that help isn't coming and the infected dead try to viciously kill the living. This simple idea is stretched from the first film into this one and sets it in a airport terminal instead of an apartment building. Fortunately we have a group of survivors we can root for and Writer/Director John G. Pogue makes this movie tense and truly scary. The movie also benefits from moving away from the shaky camera style the first film used. Plenty of blood and jump scares pack this surprising sequel that is a worthy follow up to the original.

After finding the first title in the Quarantine series to be an annoyingly clean cut,near shot to shot remake of the excellent movie Rec,I began to hope that the second film would take the series in a far more interesting direction,thanks to the makers deciding to this time make their own,original "Rec"ording.The plot:Flying on a plane fly from LA to Nashville,a passenger (who unknown to everyone has been bitten by a rat that a fellow passenger has secretly brought on board) suddenly becomes very ill and begins to act in a strange manner.Attempting to help the passenger out,air stewardess's Jenny and Paula are pushed to the ground,when the passenger suddenly becomes violently deranged.Hearing the noise from the unfolding events,the pilots decide to make an emergency landing,as the passenger's (successfully) attempt to knock out the dangerous passenger.Informing the airport that they are making an emergency landing,the crew and the passenger's breath a sigh of relief,as they prepare themselves to be helped off the plane and taken to safety,the passengers and crew discover that they may have landed,on what will be,their ultimate final destination.View on the film:Sent straight to DVD,the screenplay by writer/debuting director John Pogue shows a much firmer grip in keeping to the spirit of the Rec series than its theatrically predecessor,with Pogue bravely deciding to not take the simple route of remaking "Rec 2",but instead use the events of the first Quarantine to hint at the destination awaiting the character's.Basing the first 30 minutes of the film on a plane,Pogue and cinematography Matthew Irving shoot the movie in a completely different style to any of the other Rec/Quarantine films,due to using tight,long distance shots to create a wonderful claustrophobic mood,as the character's discovers that they have no where to run.Whilst the second half of the movie does lose some of the claustrophobic atmosphere,Pogue and Irving use low lighting to show how closed off the location is from the rest of the world,as the character's begin to fear that they might never become free from this Quarantine.
