💥 Quarantine 2: Terminal Reviews

Personal Review

I went into ‘Quarantine 2: Terminal’ not expecting much, given the so-so reputation of the first film. But surprisingly, I found myself genuinely entertained. The initial setup on the plane was tense, and the unknown of where the virus would strike next kept me hooked. While it falls into some familiar horror tropes, the performances were decent, and the ending, though bleak, left me with a lingering sense of unease. It’s not a masterpiece, but for a straight-to-DVD horror flick, it exceeded my expectations.

  • “Fans of zombie/infected horror movies”
  • “Viewers who enjoy contained outbreak scenarios”
