There was a 2? I didn't even know that.

Good review as always, Phelous.

Either way, it's a BIG 2, if you know what I mean.

Wow and I thought the first one was bad. This one is so different, it's like they tried to throw away being shitty.... by being WORSE. Hey guys we suck at the whole camera thing, so let's just be another average 0 logic shit zombie movie!

I don't get why people STILL write such lack of logic in movies. It's not like you can think this shit will be any good. Why smuggle a deadly virus inside rats that are so easy to access? Assuming he took the rats and not just the virus out of the rats in some container, they should have been drugged or completely shut off, not just sitting in a cage where they could easily bite someone.

The virus gets out in this movie as easily as it does in 28 weeks later; some character with unrealistically low written logic does something stupid.

Liked your ending Phel, pretty funny.

The sad thing is that Quarantine 2 had a theatrical release.

Whereas REC2 was released into DVD outside Spain.

Why?

Me neither...I never even heard of this sequel before now.


lol also I just cracked up laughing at the title card. The evil rat with the top hat and cane is so cute and Titlecard!Phelous's reaction to it are adorable. I love it :)


So they figured it was a lab rat, based on the fact that its albino? That is a pretty fucked up movie "logic" on albino rats and mice guys. I am sure scientists collect just as many non-albino rats and mice for experiments than they do albino ones.


Of course I don't work in a lab myself, so I won't mind if I get proven wrong. Also now I am courious I wanted to see how Benazie would help Phelous get past airport sercurity.

Oh well, I guess that is what cracky fanfics are for.

It's so small, seems like not many people are on it, and ive never seen a plane with 2 seats on one side and 1 on the other.

I have, but that's because I had to take itsy planes to get home from college. That did seem too small for a regular commercial flight -- certainly too small to require TWO flight attendants -- but too big to be a private flight. Sort of a weird choice.

I think it's based on the Airbus 1310 series of Planes which are meant for domestic flights.

You might get familiar with this airplane if you have travelled with Lufthansa or Air Asia.

Post.

Whose idea was it to make a sequel and hardly tell anyone about it? WORST. MARKETED MOVIE. EVER!

Jump cuts are usefull for shortening an amount of time in a scene so it doesn't seem long. The way they do it in this film is pointless and serves no purpose.

Is it just me, or does the kid in the hoodie look like Justin Bieber?

The overweight guy give me the idea that someone should make a horror comedy about overweight zombies.

I have a recommendation of a film you should review: "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2." I love the first film, but it's "follow-up" is crappyer than "Quarentine 2."

Poor Benzaie.

They sort of did in Zombieland with the grocery store scene!

Man, I STILL need to see Zombieland.

Haha, yeah, I thought he kind of did, too! When he was about to get attacked through the sewer grate, I was literally saying "aaaand Beiber gets bitten."

Today at the pet store I was showing my 4-year-old some white rats... but I refrained from misinforming her that "THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY LAB RATS CARRYING AN UNCONTROLLABLE PLAGUE THAT WILL WIPE OUT HUMANITY!!!" --though, in hindsight, she might've been more willing to leave the store after that. XD

I have to add that the airline in this movie is the most unrestricted and poorly manned that I've EVER SEEN. It's so bad there's no way it's believable. No airline in the country would let you walk right in the isles with pets or get through a metal detector with a damn metal gun. If the gun was unique in some way(Or plastic, yes plastic guns exist and can kill you too), then we could be persuaded to suspend our disbelief. But no, the one here looks like an ordinary metal gun that any metal detector at the airport would have hit.

The airport would have NEVER let these people on the plane, and would have arrested them if they tried. You go try to get on a plane with a gun or demand that your pet ride in the seat with you and see how that works out for you.

Planes also have more than a whole whopping 2 attendants and have undercover flight marshals that would SHOOT ON SIGHT if a crazed mad man went around yelling and biting people.(This movie had 0) Bottom line is that this movie has no logic in it anywhere, and without any, it's insulting to even watch. Like I'm suppose to believe this shit? Lol. No.

Was the guy with the guy suppose to be an air marshal or something!?

Hmmm I think that was the same guy with the cell phone, it's almost certain an air marshal would know not to be using one during take off, let alone throw a fit when forced to put it away.

As I said in my comment below, here in Europe I *have* seen pets (small dogs) allowed aboard in the passenger section, on short flights. Even without a dog carrier.

But the rest of your points is pretty spot on. The plot depends on the characters acting like idiots.

"Duh, yeah, my hamsters won't shift during flight or anything."

...Wait. Did the writer see the poisonous Zanzibar Land hamsters from Metal Gear 2 and think "Wow, this is not ridiculous at all and perfect as the catalyst for my sequel to Quarantine!"

He must have been tokin' some good shit.

You know, it actually isn't that difficult to smuggle stuff through security; I have several friends who brought knives and marijuana onto commercial flights and were not caught, and this was even after September 11 (though before the introduction of the Unconstitutional body scanners in the US airports). Nevertheless, the sheer amount of illegal stuff this character got onto the plane stretches credulity. Plus, there's no need for this story to take place on a plane; if all the stuff the guy had was necessary to the story, why not set it on a plane or a boat instead, where security would be a little more lax?

It's funny this review came around the same time I rented REC 2 and needless to say they are nothing alike.

I demand even MORE cats!! Great review Phelous.

I was just on IMDB, and both the main flight attendant and some other chick from the movie were both in the same episode of Castle, about a famous psychic who got murdered. That's almost like a cameo.

How? What? why?
Well...next thing you'll say is there was a Paranormal Activity 2-wait a minute...

Another good review dude

This shitfest got a sequel? >:X

Of all the title card artists on this site, yours is my favorite.

"Sacruh BLUH Plelous." lol.

Not sure why, but I find the rat with a top hat and cane in the title art delightful. Good review as well

Wow, I heard of this movie earlier in the year but never knew when it was coming out. All I can say is that this airline has the worst security and guidelines, which is impossible since at the start it showed LAX and that's one of the strictest airports in the US.

never undreretimate the power of bad sequels they have the power of making bad movies worse

Yay, another sequel to a movie I liked that you went after previously, except the sequel sucks so I can't defend it. Why is life so complicated?

Thoughts:

- Damn rats! Should the planet's biosphere ever fail, they will be the last to go... that and political talk shows.

- The sequel to [REC], [REC]2, took the "disease" in a different direction. Your mileage may vary on whether it's an improvement, but that movie was definitely better than this thing.

- You pack just like I do for trips, Phelous, except I also include samples of Ebola and Smallpox... just to spice things up.

Good review.

If you actually have viable smallpox samples lying around, Mr. Evil, the CDC, WHO and Homeland Security might want to have a word with you. ;-) That, or the time machine control agency. Smallpox was certified eradicated worldwide in 1979.

Yes... of course... 1979. That's right. My mistake, go back to your unsuspecting free-of-Smallpox life. Nothing to look at here, nothing to worry about... dum de dum de dum...

So yeah, it's funny... I've said for a while 'i don't like phelous, i don't think he's funny, blah blah blah'....

Just realized today I haven't missed a review in several months. Curse you for making me a liar!

Cell phones don't fuck with the planes instruments, they just piss people off so you are more likely to have an altercation and it's hard to control at 30,000 feet. It's kind of stupid, they might as well ban cross dressing on a plane because it might cause a homophobe to get uncontrollably violent.

Not to mention, until a few years ago it wasn't even technically possible to make a call from your cellphone to the ground if the plane was in flight thousands of meters (sorry, tens of thousands of feet) up in the air. BEcause you know, cell phones try to connect to cell phone towers, which do not exist above the clouds. Cell phones do not connect to satellites.

And even these days most commercial planes won't be equipped with a system that routes the cell phone call to a station via the plane's radio.

Yes, that means the whole "heroic cell phone calls from Flight 93" stuff made into a melodramatic patriotic movie is highly questionable, but I digress.

Um, the calls from United 93 were actually recorded, so yes they did happen. And they weren't from cell phones probably, most likely they were made from the Airphones that many planes have, that do connect to satellites I believe. They can be used on a plane in flight.

Either that or the plane was equipped with a system that routes the cell phone calls to a station that you said MOST planes don't have (which would mean SOME do logically). First explanation is more likely though I'm sure. (Don't think that was even possible in 2001.)

You mean cross-dressing on a plane isn't banned? Hot damn! 'Scuse me, I have a flight to catch! Now where's my purse...

Next time on Phelous he goes to Gidmo!
"You ready for your cock meat sandwhich, boy!?"

This does sound like they just took an unrelated zombies on a plane style script and added in a few referinces to the other movie to make it a sequal!

I remember watching some movie called Flight of the Living Dead (sometimes known as 'Zombies on a Plane') from a couple years back. It taught me a valuable lesson: the floors separating the coach seats and the luggage compartment are made of paper.

Great review, Phelous! Glad to see Boogeyman and all of its working title counterparts has at last come to an end.

Id like to point out that while yes everyone does know youre not supposed to have your cell phone turned on while on a plane, nobody cares. Its just like having a cell phone in a hospital. Everyone knows it fucks with the medical equipment, but noone cares.

Am I crazy or is this pretty much the same exact movie as before?

I hope they make a third one

You mean a turd one?

I want to see more with the kitties.

There was a Quarantine 2...? Why? The first was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but it never needed a sequel...

I *have* seen a small dog being transported in a large purse/sports bag, during a flight from Hannover (Germany) to London. Apparently it was small enough that it didn't need a large carrier, it had gotten a weak sedative, and was very well-behaved, just poking its head out of the purse.
But yes, rodents in a cat carrier would be put into the cargo hold.

Wait, so catching a zombie virus turns you into a terrorist who wants to enter the cockpit? Whatever for? And if a crazed passender beats on the locked cockpit door and wants to let in, you the co-pilot get up and...attempt to let the crazy guy in? Hey, sure, what can possibly go wrong?

So, the pilots fail to radio ahead that they have a medical emergency and need to land, and then the airport is... dark and closed down and the traumatised passengers including the injured flight attendent are not medically treated but shoved into a cargo area.... but five minutes later the place is suddenly swarming with ambulances and police? How does that work? And what happened to the infected puking guy? Did they leave him alone in the plane?
Or did they radio ahead and the police arrived in record speed and evacuated the whole airport, then cut the power (for some reason), locked the doors from outside, all without telling the Hispano guy who works at the airport?

Apparently the makers of this movie have to look up the definition of and procedures during a quarantine. A quarantine does not mean "lock everyone up without medical assistance and shoot them if they come out". Unless you're in the Middle Ages. Or in a zombie flick, apparently. Do the police magically know it's a zombie plague?

"She won't make until I stop the bleeding..." What? She was merely bitten in the nose, or something. Not in the neck artery. Again, a quarantine means you isolate the infected and potentially infected people from each other and the rest of us and treat them medically. Not leave them in there to die, while their relatives file a police report for missing persons.

So, what happened to the guy WHO BROUGHT THE RATS ON BOARD?? I haven't seen the movie, true, but I had thought someone would have put two and two together. When the fat guy lifted the carrier and was bitten, there was at least one other witness.

Technically the rats and the cat are the biggest problem. Humans are slow, visible (foaming at the mouth) and can be shot.

Oh, there's the rat-friend. So he's an insane terrorist? "Earth could use a good plague." Eh, hello idiot, there already *are* dozens of diseases and parasitic infection in existance which exist at epidemic level and kill or cripple many millions of people worldwide each year: HIV, malaria, cholera, SARS, influenza, pneumonic plague, anthrax, dengue fever, west nile virus, dracunculiasis (guinea worm), bilharzia (Schistosoma trematodes), and so on...
[cont. below]

Really, if you want to infect and kill a lot of people with a biological weapon, pick one that is highly infectious, but onset of acute symptoms is delayed, so that the victims are mobile and will spread the infection without knowing it before they succumb. A disease that proceeds that rapidly within a few hours and kills the infected within a day or two burns itself out just as quickly.

Wait, why does rat-boy inject the antidote into his eye?? Why didn't he inoculate himself before the flight? An immunisation usually needs some time to work (the immuno system needs time to built up antibodies) but then keeps on working. That's the point of immunisations. And with that long a needle, if that needle had been real, he would have poked the needle point into the bone at the back of his eyesocket. Pretty stupid.

So the police has the whole airport surrounded... but the boy slips out through a "storm drain" and no-one notices? Since when do buildings other than Evil Villain Castle Lairs have "storm drains"?

Yup, it's an Idiot Plot.

This is just stupid movie.
