Quarantine
Here’s what I had to say on IMDB regarding this movie:
This movie should be quarantined from the general populace. It’s not worth wasting your time going to see. The “first person” camera work is intentionally shoddy in an in-your-face kind of way, which cheapens the effect. No professional camera man would go out of focus that many times.
Another problem with the movie is that it is only 90 minutes in length, and I walked out exactly at the 30 minute mark. The movie was pure boredom and full of predictable dialogue the entire time. I was afraid the scary parts would be the same (this is the only fear I felt the entire time) so I walked out.
Sure, maybe I missed the good parts, but I paid for 90 minutes of quality, not 60 minutes. It wasn’t worth my money, and probably isn’t worth yours either.
To comment on the rest of the 2008 movie season… It’s been utter crap so far. There have been some gems in the steaming pile, but they’ve been rare. As a matter of fact, the only movies I’ve seen so far this year that I’ve loved (or mostly loved) from start to finish were Cloverfield, Untraceable, Hancock, Death Race, Eagle Eye, and Iron Man.
I’m just hoping Kevin Smith rescues us in three weeks with a great comedy. I hope Zack and Miri Make a Porno is the normal quality humor Smith can crank out at will. Strange thing is, I’ve only see the web trailers and a TV trailer for the movie… Yep. TV. Kevin Smith on TV. How very strange….
