  The best of this type of movie
  
  I really enjoyed this film. Yeah, it's a lot like Resident Evil and other "zombie" style movies, but I liked this one because it's realistic. A space ship is never going to crash land in central park and the radiation turn people into zombies. There is no umbrella corp. that makes a virus that kills people and re-animates their dead bodies to feed on the living. However, a mutated version of rabies is believable! The film is fast paced, scary as hell and just well done. The only shame is that this film didn't come out before the many others before it.
  
  Well done, I like it, buy it and I'm sure you will too!

  Dumb Behavior
  
  This should have been an excellent film because viewers already know the actors are very good from watching The Practice, Dexter, and other shows. The script portrayed the reporter, firemen, policemen and others to behave unprofessionally and sometimes in just plain foolish ways which made it hard for viewers to relate to them or the movie.
  
  Movie Spoilers
  
  Someone is experimenting with a rabies type disease in the attic of an apartment building. Max, a dog belonging to 5 year old, Briana, gets the disease possibly from an infected laboratory rat. Briana's father takes the dog to the veterinarian leaving an infected Briana and her mother at the apartment. The little girl or her dog infected an elderly woman and her dog. The elderly woman is screaming and acting crazy so police/firemen are called to the scene taking along a reporter and her cameraman along for a story. The city quarantines the building while everyone is in there because the Max the dog at the vet clinic attacks everyone and the dog is wearing a tag with its address on it so they know where it lived. Police, firemen, reporters and apartment renters are trapped in the building while the city police tell outside reporters everyone has been evacuated. There is a veterinarian in the building who says tears, saliva and fever and death occurs to anyone bitten.
  
  Pro
  1. The cameraman, Scott Percival was a true professional. He hung onto the camera through it all and even put it down still rolling at times to assist his fellow survivors when they were attacked including his reporter co-worker. He even continuously comforts his hysterical reporter co-worker who pays him back by deserting him.
  
  2. The last fireman Jake is also professional and courageous. He was going to kill an infected woman when trapped in an apartment with others and another idiot prevented him from doing so. That woman attacked them all later. Fireman Fletcher is also a hero.
  
  3. Firehouse mascot Wilshire the Dalmatian and his stop, drop and roll routine if caught on fire was educational and amusing.
  
  Con
  1. The last policeman Danny Wilensky acts completely unprofessional. This guy initially pulled a gun on the fireman, reporter, cameraman and renter when he finds them trying to escape. He knows people are dying around them and if bitten, they are infected and he foolishly wants to obey the order of a superior officer who turned off the electricity to their building and lied to the city saying they were evacuated. This policeman sees people getting bitten and sees little Briana bite her mother. He stupidly handcuffs the infected soon to be violent mother to the staircase endangering anyone coming up and down the stairs. Then he runs after little Briana KNOWING she is dangerous and infected and says "take my hand".when her mouth is bloody and she is crazed. He had the gall to act surprised when she bit him.
  
  2. The young professional female reporter Angela Vidal is truly pathetic. She never helps anyone who gets attacked especially towards the end. Yet, she expects the cameraman and the one remaining fireman to help her when she is attacked. She screams and jumps at every sound giving away their position and clings to the men. Her Blair Witch filming towards the end was only missing the snotty nose. The film photo above shows 2 hands and no weapon. She is in a lab with glass equipment, chairs, and lab chemicals and all sorts of things that can act as improvised weapons but she just whines. It was truly disgusting for a modern professional woman to behave this way. There was a kind of satisfaction when she didn't make it either.
  
  3. Too cliched. The mother over reacting to the idea that her quite clearly infected 5 year old be isolated in other room was just too cliched. If this woman had other children, she would not have acted like this and as a mother she should have wanted to protect the other children and people in the building. She could have stayed with her daughter in isolation. Instead the mother fights off the others from getting to her daughter and the mother gets bitten/infected and the infected child runs off to attack/infect others later.

  Terrible Movie
  
  My mom signed up for this DVD club called Columbia House. Well, they send there members random DVD's and if you don't want it, then you send it back. They sent us Quarantine, so we decided to keep it. After it was paid for, we watched it when my grandmother was over. I was paying attention to the movie, but I never really caught on to the storyline. The only thing I understood was the mice. That's about it. I wouldn't suggest you buy this movie, but that's just my opinion.

  Wrong Genre
  
  Quarantine, if anything, suffers from the ill fate of building excellent suspension, but never capitalized on the tension to make produce horror. Itsets up a brilliant atmosphere, great progression throughout, and has clever ideas, turns to be more thriller, than scarey.
  Thrillers, for me, is when you set-up the audience as if you would scare them, but instead you keep them tense throughout. This is Quaratine.
  
  Even though I consider it to be a thriller, it still keeps true with many aspects of modern horror. One being plenty of blood and gore. The R rating is not an overstatment at all to Quarantine. With the ocassional wonky acting done by a crew of rather unknown actors, horror fans will curb their appetite with Quarantine, but there is no feast here.
