Quarantine: Zombie Antics & Government Coverups

Quarantine, starring Jennifer Carpenter (the sister on “Dexter”), opens next Friday, October 10th. Carpenter plays reporter Angela Vidal who becomes trapped inside a Los Angeles apartment complex where a dangerous disease breaks out. The government agencies arrive and quarantine the building with Angela and her cameraman Steve inside. They assure the band of people that everything will be fine, but that is far from the truth. Everyone inside that building disappears without a trace until a lost videotape from Steve’s camera is discovered. Quarantine reminds me of The Blair Witch Project except with more night vision and zombies.

Trailer Check:

Since Halloween is just around the corner, horror flicks and the requisite Saw remake will be the main attractions at the cineplex in October. So far Quarantine stands out from the pack. I’m more inclined to see this movie since the writers decides to tell the story with the recovered news crew digital camcorder footage. The scares will be more realistic and frenetic because the action will be happening basically in real time. No fancy score, just a down and dirty horror story where you already know none of the people survive (or do they?).
