The Zombies are Ragin! By: Sasha Slaughter

Happy heart day blog stalkers! It's yours truly Sasha Slaughter here with you. Hope you're ready for another week of socks rocking. Zane and I will be bringing you "Shit I haven't seen week". Awesome right??? I thought so too! And today I'll be telling you about a movie called Quarantine 2: Terminal, because it's some shit I haven't seen. Yay!! Quarantine 2 was written and directed by John Pogue. It is a sequel to the 2008 film Quarantine. So let's watch it and I'll tell you a little about it.

A flight from Los Angeles to Nashville is diverted to Las Vegas after a passenger on TS Air 318 violently attacks a stewardess and attempts to break into the cockpit. The passengers soon discover that the man was bitten by what were thought to be hamsters and was somehow infected. When the plan lands, air traffic control refuses to let them enter a gate, the pilot and co-pilot disobey orders and find a Jetway operated by a baggage handler who doesn't realize that the plane is now under quarantine. 
Almost all of the passengers make it out of plane and into the baggage handling area. Once they arrive, they learn that they've been locked out of the airport. Armed soldiers and the CDC surround the terminal and tell the remaining passengers that they've all been quarantined. The group soon realizes that the infection could be a form of rabies that is spread by bites. They are told by a surviving officer that tried to administer a drug to them that he doesn't represent the CDC, he represents the Department of Homeland Security's anti-biological terrorism division. He then reveals that there was a quarantined building in LA that housed a bio terrorist group's lab and that the drugs they were giving were probably useless against the infection. It's a race against time and the infection as the rest of the passengers try to make it out of the airport alive.
Ehh. This movie was ok I guess. I wasn't really crazy about the first Quarantine movie, and I'm not so crazy about this one either. The infected zombie people were pretty awesome, as you all know, I loves me some zombies. Their speed and appearance was uber creepy. The acting was decent enough, although I've never heard of any of the actors. And when the zombie things freaked out, it really almost sounded like they were making weird hissing noises...kind of like a pissed off kitty. That's not scary! Come on man. The movie was kind of dark at times too, and I mean visually. Certain scenes were kind of hard to see, but I get it, it was supposed to be that way...blahh.
The film started off slow, but sped up pretty quickly, which I did like. There were some creepy parts, especially the special effects stuff...AWESOME! Overall I'd give Quarantine 2 a 2.5 out of 5. It wasn't horrible and it did have a bit more action than the first, but I was hoping for more zombies!! And one last thing, they killed zombies by shooting them and strangling them...WTF? Everyone knows the first rule about zombies- you gotta destroy the brains! HELLO?? Anyway, I doubt I'd watch it again, not really into it. And since you're here, don't forget to check in on Zane, he needs page love too! Thanks for stopping by.
