Scary Movie...


Cloverfield was the last scary movie that I went to the theater, and ironically, it was shot in the same manner as the scary movie I saw this weekend, Quarantine. In this "camera is a part of the action" thriller, an unidentified disease is plaguing an apartment complex in Los Angeles. The movie starts out as a news team consisting of a reporter and cameraman shadow two firefighters at the local firestation.

Eventually the alarm goes off in the firestation, and not wanting to miss the action, the news team follows. After arriving at the apartment complex late at night to find the tenants downstairs worried about a woman upstairs who let out a blood curdling scream, the horror soon ensues.

There are some really cool effects in the movie, one of my favorite being the cameraman beating one of the "infected" victims to death with the camera, you are able to repeatedly see the camera smash against their face, and it's oh so cool.

This movie is definitely worth going to see, and it will shock your pants off. If you have $8 to spare, and want to be scared, go and see this one.
