I'll start out with my biggest complaint first. Camera shake. I have taken my cheap 400$ cam on rollercoasters "no joke" and they look smoother than this. Not only has this tactic been used many times, in Qaurintine the camera is a shoulder held HD with Super steady shot and a supposed pro TV cameraman. The shake is so intense that you can't see a damn thing and you will get sick. My girl had to leave for 10 min because she got a headache. Enuff with the so called "realistic shooting". It is totally overdone and ruins the ENTIRE film. I think i may have seen some awesome make up fx in there but i'm not sure. How am i to get scared when i can't see what the F is going on. Zoom in zoom out, zoom in zoom out..... what Pro TV Cameraman does that? Complain #2. If caveman made fire...can't we now? Duh. Complaint #3. When in the various rooms, why not look for a weapon? Anything. Pick up a telephone and hit one over the head. Give me a stapler. I'll staple their eyes and mouth shut if i have to. Complaint #4. When using the night shot at the end, why keep the camera on Jenny Carpenter and not the amazingly creepy old rabid freak? Ummmmmm i'd want to know where that dude is every second. I guess not being a layman makes it just too hard for me to watch new horror films. Sorry folks i could not enjoy the film because i was way too angry. Maybe if the writers and Director spent more time on what humans would actually do in a situation like this and less effort on how to make the camera shake as much as possible they would have had a really cool film. Things i did like- the casting and idea. I also like that there is no stupid rock music to help "pump it up". With a re-edit, i'd love this film. Maybe an un-cut DVD with a sharp picture will make me happy:]
