quarantine. a.k.a. crapola

its crap. no, seriously... that movie is horrible.
actually, let me put it another way, the idea is great. the characters were alright. everything panned out pretty well to make a GREAT zombie film, sadly the P.O.V. camera work RUINED EVERY SECOND OF THE MOVIE! absolutely ruined it.
for those of you who don't know (mom), P.O.V. is an acronym for "point of view". its filmed either from the eyeball views of someone in the film, or its documentary style, as if somebody in the story just happens to be carrying around a big ass studio camera...
well, there's been a rash of P.O.V. films as of late. it started, at least in this run, with "The Blair Witch Project". which, and most people disagree with me here, is a really great movie. fun, scary as all hell, and it folded your mind in half with the ending.
move on, skipping a bunch of crap to, "Cloverfield". Cloverfield was entertaining for one reason to me, every one of those dim fucks dies. i hated ALL of the main characters, and when, one by one, the giant alien/demon/squidly/cthulian/video game boss/monster thingy eats them, i laughed with joy. not for the amazing cinematography or any of that crap, but because i desperately wanted them to die. horribly. i hated every goddamn one of em. annoying bastards.

woof.

anyway, Quarantine is fucking ruined by the P.O.V.
any chance of understanding is destroyed by fake camera problems, blurs from an unusually crappy autofocus, and constantly being pointed at the skinny chick, instead of, oh... i don't know... maybe THE FUCKING ZOMBIES!!!!!
for gods sake, if you want me to know where the friggen zombies come from, DON'T COVER UP THE WALL WHERE THE INFORMATION IS!

ahem,
sorry.
if you really like headaches, and absolutely no payoff whatsoever, then see this movie. otherwise you're better off renting a documentary about snow. at least you'll learn something.

oh, but the camera guy bashing in the face of the zombie with said camera lens, awesome. only good thing about it...

so please, go to your local horror filmmaker, and tell him to stop with the P.O.V. its a schtick, and a crappy one at that. the last guy to pull it off was George Romero, and for gods sake, he STARTED the goddamn zombie genre...
see "Diary Of The Dead". amazing. inspiring. beautiful.
yes, i am a sick, sick man.

uh, brains?
