Earlier tonight a bizarre disease was unleashed in a run-down Los Angeles tenement... and no one got out alive. Yet something escaped. Now aboard Flight 318 the first symptoms begin to show. As the infection begins to takes root innocent passengers suddenly transform into terrifying bloodthirsty killers. Forced to land at an isolated terminal and surrounded by armed government agents the crew and passengers grow increasingly desperate. The only question now is how far they will go to survive.
Let's face it, there are a lot of bad zombie films out there and although this film is far from perfect, it is certainly not a bad zombie film. While the first Quarantine film was almost a direct translation of the Spanish film Rec, Quarantine 2, the direct to DVD sequel, goes off in a completely different direction to Rec 2. The hand held camera POV is gone and the setting moves from the downtown LA apartment building to a domestic flight out of LAX airport. There are still links to the first film, the events here taking place only hours later and are referenced via news reports and the cast themselves. The setting on an aeroplane is an interesting one and works really well due to the sense of claustrophobia and isolation from help. Once the action moves to a deserted terminal building however, some of that sense of fear is lost and I feel a mistake was made using the behind the scenes part of the airport as the main setting. In horror films what is scary is seeing areas that you would use in your everyday life turned into battlegrounds for survival. Few of us see the part of the airport used in the film, the waiting rooms and duty free that we are all familiar with would have made much more of an impact. There are some stereotyped characters and some of the dialogue needed more work but there is a fairly good twist in the tale and the ending does leave it open for a very interesting third film.
