quarantine

quarantine is a film advertised as "the scariest movie" of the year. i'm not sure i would agree, but it may be one of the silliest. an infection from a mad dog turns people into zombie-like creatures that attack the necks of those who have not yet been infected. the highlight of the film was a girl, maybe 7 years old, attacking the neck of an adult. the film starts with a kind of reality tv show air, with a female TV reporter spending time with a fire fighting squad. little does she know that later that night, they will be in a house where the authorities have barricaded the doors and windows and will shoot to kill anyone who tries to escape the house. i like horror films, and this is a typical film of the genre. it does make you think about what kind of steps the authorities will take to quarantine sick people in the event of a contagious and horrible disease.
