Quarantine Review

Messages: Extensive depiction of extreme circumstances of horror as the dwindling survivors in a quarantined apartment building are attacked by the victims of the virus; the outside world not only fails to offer help but actively shoots and attacks any of the people desperately trying to get out. Mention of "doomsday cults" and "nuclear, biological, and chemical" attacks.

Role models: A mixed bag; the heroes are good role models, but most of the others are not.

Violence: Near-constant, unrelenting horror violence, gore, and tension. The victims of a genetically engineered virus become aggressive, biting and attacking anyone in their path; there are also shootings, fatal falls, bludgeoning, and beatings. The film's central conceit that all the action is being filmed by a news crew leads to a scene in which an infected berserker is literally beaten to death with the camera. Animals are seen attacking humans; animals are seen eviscerated. Wounds and injuries are depicted with grim realism.

Sex: Some sexual innuendo and implied off-screen nudity; a firefighter bets he can "bang" a reporter before the end of the night.

Language: Relatively infrequent strong language includes "damn," "s--t," "f--k," and more.

Consumerism: Not an issue

Drinking, drugs and smoking: A character is clearly drunk; another character offers his Vicodin stash to help a veterinarian try to aid injured characters.
