Quarantine - 9 stars out of 10
"Quarantine" is the best scary movie since "Cloverfield"!!! The first-person perspective is extremely effective in this movie, as the viewer truly feels like they are actually there and it will keep you on edge the entire time. I believe that the first-person works so well because the person recording is supposed to be a professional with a news camera, therefore this "shaky camera" technique is justifiably not too shaky. This movie does a great job of creating an emotional attachment to the characters before the terror begins, much better than Cloverfield did. It is almost like a zombie movie with a twist that you get to experience from a first-person perspective. I love that they reveal just enough for you to understand what is going on, but leave a number of questions unanswered. Not to mention that these rabid zombies are terrifying, while the unseen images are exponentially more chilling. You really cannot predict what will happen next as this realistic news interview keeps you believing from start to finish. Jennifer Carpenter was great, though she was annoying for about 5 minutes in there toward the end. The rest of the acting is solid, feeling candid and panicked Jump-scenes and shocking moments are inserted in a way that they make sense and don't seem like too much. I would totally watch this movie again. And again. And again.
