When the highlight of your dialogue is "it's like people rabies!", you probably need a rewrite.

“Stop the plane. Let me off!”
-Ralph (George Back)Ahahaha! Wait, sorry what? This wasn’t meant to be hilarious? …scary? It was meant to be scary? ...are you sure? It surely must have been a joke, I’m certain. No? Oh dear…
Okay, I’m telling a bit of a lie there. Firstly, I knew it wasn’t intended to be funny. Secondly, it wasn’t funny anyway. In fact the only thing funny about Quarantine 2: The Terminal, sequel to the mediocre remake of [Rec], was how uproariously bad it actually is.
So where should I even begin on this film’s lavish, wonderful quality? Perhaps the acting, that would be a place to start. Bad doesn’t begin to describe it. Literally every single…

Possibly better than the original film but only because it isn’t a shot for shot remake like that one. We have a bunch of paper thin characters running about the place doing pretty much the same as the first. I like the setting of this one but kind of wished the whole thing could have stayed on the plane in the air. It would be a little limiting maybe, but that could have forced the writers to come up with something a bit interesting. Hell, Snakes on a Plane did it. There are a couple of decent effects scenes, most notably someone having their heads smashed in and a pretty nasty scene of a guy injecting himself in the eye. Otherwise it’s all pretty run of the mill stuff. Never awful but then never much good either.

More like Quarantine 2: Termi-dull.
Written and directed by John Pogue, Quarantine 2: Terminal is a direct-to-DVD sequel to 2008’s Quarantine, which is, of course, a remake of the 2007 Spanish horror film, [REC]. While the first Quarantine was, for the most part, a beat-for-beat remake of [REC], Terminal deviates from the path taken by [REC] 2, giving the American version of the series the opportunity to becomes its own entity. However, while being an original story, there is very little about the film that feels fresh, let alone original, as the film is, essentially, Quarantine in an airport.
The film opens up on an airplane, though, the time spent on the plane is minimal, essentially being relegated to the…

It's just dull. That's about all there is to it. You don't care for any of the characters, and there isn't enough mystery to the story to keep it captivating.

I actually picked up a physical copy of the first Quarantine for a few dollars because I thought there was some fun to be had with it. Something about found footage in an old, dark apartment building with crazy people made it engaging and at times pretty damn creepy.
Quarantine 2 is nothing more than an onslaught of horrible writing and unintentionally funny scenes. Pretty much every character is completely unlikable because they're either an idiot or nonsensically asshole-ish. It was around the time that everyone was yelling at a flight attendant in response to a military level barricade that I decided I wanted them all to die.
I was hoping for a horror movie that takes place in the…

This might be one of the worst films that has an awesome last 15 minutes I've ever seen. The rise in quality for the climax here is pretty astounding given the unbearably dire first hour -- slow and ponderous setup with the checklist of disaster-movie Airport 1975 stock characters (the old lady with the cat, the asshole yuppie, plucky teenage boy, headstrong Final Girl, etc.), horrendous dialogue, and barely competent direction. In fact my girlfriend and I turned it off 45 minutes in (we had a dinner reservation but we probably would have stopped watching anyway) and eventually sheer curiosity and completism got me coming back on my own to finish it off. I really liked the first QUARANTINE, one…

An average horror movie.

Last film of tonight. With Quarantine two. A group of people are stuck on a flight and then in a terminal with some virus being spread like wildfire. Turning people into crazed zombies. Enjoyed but prefered the first one.

Competent but mediocre.

Solid sequel. I LOVED that bit on the plane when things get going. But the last half really did mirror the original and it got a bit old. Sets up a 3rd film!!!

Although Quarantine was a near-identical remake of [REC], which I love, I thought this was a vast improvement on Quarantine, while being nowhere near as good as any of the [REC] series. I've confused myself.
