I can’t believe that we’re only a little over three weeks away from the release of QUARANTINE. How time does fly. I’m beginning to get pretty damn excited over this intense shocker. And now my excitement has grown even more from the large collection of brand new pics from the flick that just popped up (last month, Jared P. gave you a couple of new ones here). You can check out one up top, one below, and the rest right here.
Seriously, how endearingly cute is Jennifer Carpenter (in both pics)? Even when in peril, she still exudes a very unique kind of beauty (it must be the eyes). Oh and by the way, she is quite the excellent actress. If you don’t believe me, then check out THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE. I’m really looking forward to seeing how she handles a role where she’s not possessed.
Once again, I give you QUARANTINE’S plot: Television reporter Angela Vidal (Carpenter) and her cameraman are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, Internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape.
Yes, it’s like CLOVERFIELD, and yes, I still feel it has the potential to rock! The flick was written and directed by John Erick Dowdle (who handled another “video-camera-themed” horror called THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES). The cast in addition to Carpenter includes Dania Ramirez, Johnathon Schaech (shitty PROM NIGHT remake), Jay Hernandez (HOSTEL), Columbus Short, Marin Hinkle, Steve Harris, Denis O’Hare, and Greg Germann.
