Quarantine 2 Terminal (2011)

Quarantine 2 Terminal (2011)
Director: John Pogue
Cast: Mercedes Masöhn, Josh Cooke and Mattie Liptak
A follow up to 2008’s Quarantine, this entry was directed by John Pogue and “picks up later that night at LAX, as passengers board a flight to Nashville. When a passenger becomes violently ill with a mysterious rabies-like virus, the plane makes an emergency landing at a large metropolitan airport. Jenny (Mercedes Masohn), a heroic yet inexperienced flight attendant, takes charge of the safety of her passengers. Relieved when a swarm of heavily equipped emergency vehicles, police units and the CDC arrive, Jenny and the passengers soon discover that they have been quarantined and are now trapped. Desperate to escape, Jenny enlists the help of one of the surviving passengers, a kindergarten teacher, Henry (Josh Cooke), to devise a plan to survive.

The story centers around the original tenant from the previous films appartment bringing contaminated rats onboard a plane. Of course the rats manage to infect a passanger and its not long before they need to make an unschedualed stop at an airport. Its not long before the infected passanger spreads the plague to others from the plane, which ends up with the terminal being locked down to curb a greater spread. Its left to the remaining uninfected to try to survive and escape.

Trite sequel to Quarantine which was in turn a remake of the fantastic Spanish zombie film [rec]. Quarantine 2 bares next to no resemblence to [rec] or its sequel, and almost none to Quarantine. The zombies are now more like sweaty plague victims than risen undead brain chompers (I guess to save on make-up fx). The action is painfully pedestrian and the plot is laughably bad for most the duration you're under the impression it was started by school hamsters. Started with an interesting setup not unlike a typical disaster movie, but rapidly spirals to pure crap. The actors seem ashamed at being involved in such a dire film yet for most part manage to do their jobs well. Really poor, I'd avoid it like the plague.
