When Quarantine 2 is compared to its cousin 2, there is no comparison. Next Business Day (Monday to Friday) By 3.00 p.m. It is a clear money-grab for Sony, and is a perfect example of the uninspired drivel that passes as actually film-making in Hollywood these days. The story is most similar to another forgettable straight-to-video zombie flick, Flight of the Living Dead (2007), and follows a group of airline passengers who must survive a deadly viral outbreak on their plane. Quarantine 2 features sub-par acting, a nonsensical plot and directing that can only be described as pure crap.
Pogue is a longtime Hollywood hack responsible for such yawners as Ghost Ship and Rollerball, and he wasted no time in ruining the solid concept. Two years later Sony Pictures tapped John Pogue to write and direct Quarantine 2: Terminal for the U.S. In 2009 the original writing/directing team of Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza released 2, a highly successful squeal that is set in the same Barcelona apartment building as and opens just minutes after their first film. But never underestimate Hollywood’s ability to ruin a good thing. Though we’re partial to the original both films have their merits, and a lot of credit has to be given to the makers of Quarantine for not messing with what made so great. Each follows a deadly viral outbreak in a city apartment building that turns those infected into raving maniacs. The 2007 Spanish film was a huge international success that soon led to a shot-for-shot American remake titled Quarantine in 2008.

They also have an uncanny ability to throw a demon in your face at the right time.” – Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Directors Plaza and Balaguero amp up the anxiety. Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza return to scare the pants off of audiences once again with this follow-up to their Spanish chiller REC. And the end is outlandishly creepy.” – Dennis Dermody, Paper A rare sequel gem that can be watched hand-in-hand with the first film,” – Brad Miska, Bloody Disgusting “It grabs the audiences by the throat and never lets go.
It is a flawless follow-up, and that’s rare indeed.” – Bill Gibron, Popmatters Not only is it as good as the original, it lays claim to its own unique place within the motion picture paradigm. “10 OUT OF 10! a reminder of how special movies can be.
The action is considerably scarier and more taut this time around.” – Nick Schager, Slant Sequel-making at its best.” – Ray Pride, Chicago New City “’PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2’, CONSIDER YOUR ASS PRE-KICKED. A superior and innovative sequel to the original.” – Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times The ideas introduced first time around are explored much more fully here to chilling effect.” Michael Ordona, LA Times Put 2 at the top of your summer viewing list, hang on to something and enjoy.” – Fangoria “AN EARLY LEADER FOR THIS YEAR’S MOST FRIGHTENING FEATURE.
