Jennifer Carpenter in Quarantine (Screen Gems)
By Darrin Buchanan
The film
& Quarantine
(opens October 10 throughout San Diego) is a thriller! The movie is about a Los Angeles reporter who does a report on firefighters. The movie begins inside a fire station where she interviews firefighters and videotapes what their life is like. While in the station the firefighters get a call from a local apartment building because neighbors hear a scream in one of the apartments. As the firefighters enter the room were the scream came from they see a woman foaming at the mouth. They ask the woman what's wrong and it's all chaos from there on out as all the characters try to escape after one of the police officers is badly injured and they notice that they have been locked in the building. apparently, there was a report of an unknown virus coming from this building so the government has quarantined the building. If you get bitten, the virus gets into your system and you get all the signs of rabies. Normally rabies takes months to show signs, but in this case it only takes minutes. So the people trapped inside have to try and avoid the other infected people so they don't get bitten. HA! HA! Good luck because the people who are infected seem stronger then they normally would be, and desperate for blood!

If you like films such as
The Blair Witch Project
or
Cloverfield
then you will love this film. And even if you didn't like those films I'm sure you will love this film. I saw it with a lot of my peers from high school, which was okay because it was really cool cheering at some parts. But some people laughed at serious parts that would kill the mood. Besides all that,
Quarantine
(R for bloody violent and disturbing content, terror and language) is a really good thriller! I would recommend it to anyone except elderly folk. Because I have never jumped out of my seat so much at any movie.
