chaosbaron Review of Quarantine 2: Terminal

Quarantine 2: Terminal (2011)

Per usual, terrible zombie noises... but not terrible overall

[6/10 · 11 February 2012]

I moved into Quarantine 2: Terminal with low expectations after having been severely disappointed with the first Quarantine, which I considered inferior to REC. Many of the issues I had with the first, such as horrific camera work fused together with annoying sound effects and over active acting were mostly vacant from the sequel. The POV camera is exchanged for a more traditional cinema camera style, which is decently done considering the lower budget. Further, the acting is toned down slightly from the first, and is delivered with relative believability. The sound effects at times are God awful, namely the cheap cat screeching one of the zombies makes about 1 hour into the movie, you will know it when you see it. Now, there are some gross scenes, but overall the movie is not excessively gory. Overall, for a zombie film it managed to be relatively enjoyable, holding onto moderate suspense and keeping away from all the guns and rambo action that plagues most films of the genre these days. For zombie fans I would give a recommend, for horror fans I would say maybe check it out, but for everyone else enter only if you know what your getting into.
