There is one VERY SLIGHT thing I disagree with. I DID see character development when I was watching. I thought Angela matured as an anchorwoman as the night went on (pre-screams of horror that is). She goes from stumbling lines to being very energetic, accusing, and almost jovial that she is part of a situation (if nothing more than it will further her career). I saw this mainly when the CDC doctor was entering the building. I found it to be a subtle touch. Maybe I was reaching at that point, but regardless, I agree with every other thing you said, especially the second paragraph.

Not that this justifies it, but I make it a point (usually) not to review something no one else can legally get their hands on. Sometimes I just can’t hold off.

p.s. Special Agent Johnson will be in touch.

It appears it was a smart choice to for the camera operator to be a “professional,” so the damn thing can just sit still every once in a while.

As for QUARANTINE on its own…shrug. It smacks of having [REC]‘s Spanish script just shoved through Babbleflish, but oh well. They could recreate it shot for shot and it’ll still scare the shit out of America. I am a tad interested to see how people react to the camera work. I think word of mouth (if it is as good as the original) will carry it at the box office, but I think it will have a narrow appeal at first because people will go, “Oh, great, another one of those.”
