Went to celebrate Aisyah and Jasmine's Bdae yesterday-- Watched the movie "Quarantine". Imo, it's a stupid show and a waste of money. It's the kind of movie that's been done over and over again. Quarantined in an apartment building, a group of people are attacked by -guess what-

Zombies. Yay!

Then as usual, one by one, people die, turn into zombies, and start killing others. Elements of a scary movie are there eg Flashing/flickering lights and screamers, but I think the too much flashing lights were used. One part during the elevator scene when the group were attacked by zombies, the cameraman's camera lights flickers like a mother. Then, after the attack, bam, lights are back to normal.

Gore-wise, it's not that grotesque as you might think. Sure, a zombie which looks 90 percent human biting another human's neck may be scary to some, but I think I've seen scarier shows. The best part of the film to me was the part where the -SPOILERS- little girl bites her mom, and darts around like a crazy monkey. Haha that part was funny.

Comparing this to the other movie, "Cloverfield", the latter wins hands down. Although all the characteres die in the end, at least in Cloverfield, they die knowing they probably will, and are more or less ready, having said their final words. Unlike where in this lame show the main character screams as she gets pulled back, then bam, game over.

Well at least we got to go Joe's house for some GHWT. But thanks to Nadiah and Alana, I now hate the song "Monsoon." LOL.
