A plane is taken over by a mysterious virus. When the plane lands it is placed under quarantine. Now a group of survivors must band together to survive the quarantine.
Quarantine 2 is a repeat of its predecessor, but this time it's terminal. In terms of "straight-to-video" sequels, this is actually not bad. Sure it's unoriginal, unimaginative, uninteresting and un-everything. However the effective use of strong gore and "people rabies" makes for an infectiously "alright" time. It's bad, but atleast it's not 'Shark Infection', 'Terminally Sharked' or 'Plane Shark: Terminal Jaws' like most VOD films. A plane makes an emergency landing after a passenger is infected. The individuals on the plane are then, get ready, quarantined. It's not exactly a first class flight, heck it's not even premium. Economy at best. As I said, the practical makeup to enhance the blood, guts and rabid saliva is rather effective. From ripping skin off of smooth necks to red-eyed rats falling on heads and nibbling on the victim's cranium. B-grade bloody schlock, and it's all the better for it. Performances were functional, if ever so exaggerated. An adequately dark claustrophobic environment to maintain a small dosage of tension. Alas, the film falters with its story, predictability, writing and execution. The structure is exactly the same as the first 'quarantine' which, interestingly enough, runs concurrently with this sequel. Characters are constantly shouting in fear with no authoritative leadership, which just frustrates me. Pets are infected. CDC professionals have no idea what they are doing. The infected growl and scream stock sound effects were cheap to say the least. The airport security was clearly non-existent as nearly every unauthorised object/animal/person was allowed through. The co-pilot was in no condition to assist in flying a plane, immediately indicating to us that "all the dogs in the neighbourhood are sick". Just...every aspect to the plot was obvious. Even the supposed twist! The writer needed to be quarantined to be honest, but fortunately the gore and disposable fun make for a slightly entertaining flight.
