Actually everyone yelling at the flight attendant is one of the more realistic parts of the movie. People blame employees for things outside their control all the time. You ever worked retail?
I like that she followed procedure after getting thrown up on. Flight attendants should have blood born pathogens training, and that was a realistic reaction
Questions everyone asks: Why were the hamsters allowed on board? Why did the villain take a commercial airline? Why aren't any of the infected restrained after they're bitten? Why doesn't the group work together instead of fighting amongst each other? Hollywood's answer to all the questions: Because we wouldn't have a movie.
8:09 actually Rats are often far more affectionate pets than hamsters due to being intelligent enough to figure out that the giant thing (you) that keeps feeding them isn't a threat. Honestly domestic rats act more like tiny dogs than hamsters, they even start to lick you to show affection like dogs and can be taught tricks quite easily.
I have never met a hamster I ever liked. They all see like assholes to me, who will turn around and eat each other given the slightest chance. They don't tend to be very friendly either, which is ironic given how they are shown in children's cartoons. I've also raised Gerbils and at least they have enough brains not to attack the hand that feeds them. My favorites being guinea pigs. I have never had rats, but I have considered it.
I LOVE HEARING OTHER PEOPLE SAY THIS SERIOUSLY RATS DONT DESERVE IN THE SLIGHTEST THE REPUTATION THEY HAVE THEYRE SOOOOO SWEET AND WONDERFUL I LOVE THEM!!!!!!
A few years back, everyone in my literature class had to write a short story. One girl wrote a story that at first I thought was cool, but I later found out that it was the EXACT plot for this movie!
The gas mask (especially the ones with visor like that) also protect from fluid contamination because it prevents exposure of the fluid to their eyes, nose and other areas that could get infection.
The approach to quarantine in these movies is boneheaded: lock people in without explaining anything to them, which will inevitably lead to them panicking and trying to escape. Which risks spreading the disease, Great job, CDC.
"Thank you for flying with Incompetence Airlines. The only airline so incompetent that we allow you to bring lab rats... I mean hamsters on board as carry-ons, as welll as unsecured cats. Please enjoy your flight and try not to die. We can't afford any more law suits."
I was rewatching this as background noise and realized that they got the gun out of checked baggage. You can legally check a gun and ammo in your luggage, they just can't be in the same bag. Meaning, if he had 2 suitcases he could check the unloaded, safely stored, and tagged handgun in bag 1 and the ammunition that is safely stored and declared, in bag 2. For all this time I thought it was in his carry-on but now it makes sense.
I swear there's another movie called "Quarantine," where it involves a crazy man who's survived for years in the building, a group of ghost-seeking teenagers ending up trapped in the same building, and an otherworldly door that leads to Hell or something. That movie was actually pretty fun to watch.
i believe sandy is right here. grave encounters 2 is basically exactly that. and the crazy man was from grave encounters. though could still have been something else.
DeathofInk technically the virus in the REC/Quarantine series was started because of a dog, but I agree lol I'm a huge animal lover and dread seeing animals in horror movies for the most part for obvious reasons
There's no indication that the virus makes people and animals undead. The fat guy dies from being strangled, after all. The undead don't typically breathe.
I love how the guy got to security and the TSA would stop him and say "are those rats" and he was like "no they are hamsters" and the TSA agent was like "well if you say so" I hate stupid dialog that adds more logic problems to movies
The TSA is notoriously incompetent, that's actually one of the more realistic parts of the movie. The problem is they don't land hard enough on that point, so it seems like a plot contrivance.
I really wish the flight attendant had looked around and said "Now you know why" when rat man said he wasn't allowed to bring laboratory mice as a carry-on onto a plane.
+Enraging Panda oh my gos ur making me comment like how I did in the first one I thought it was weird that they did the same thing again but could it be that one and two could be happening at the same time? no probible not
i watch a lot of Phelous reviews and i have to say quite a interesting place he lives in or films in , looks like the most nerdy granny flat besides mine XD
Jacob Hollis this is why we need to increase their funding. Heavy Haz Mat Units. Armored against nippy patients, angry protestors who are completely stupid, and projectile vomiting fat zombies.
Even if everything somehow manages to get through security, the metal mesh in the rat cage is too fine for the rats to bite through. This movie could not have happened unless the rats have a wasp-like stinger in their noses.
Hello all crewmates. Please welcome aboard, and you can bring anything you like. Oh, what's that? You want to know what we have? And what do we have right now? Covid!
I mean, not knowing what the virus is terrifying enough, but being quarantine with other people, not knowing who has the virus is *EVEN MORE TERRIFYING!!!*
Doing my traditional pre-flight viewing of this review. It became a tradition because I’m terrified of airports/airplanes, and thinking of how silly this is and your commentary (welcome to do whatever the crap you want airlines!) helps me calm down. Unfortunately, it does not give me teleportation powers, nor does it protect me from mysterious overhead bin hamsters. Thankfully, common sense saves me from those. I know it’s kind of weird, but thanks, Phelous! I know I sent you an ask on Tumblr about this a million years ago, and believe it or not, it’s a continuing tradition! 😅
I remember watching this years ago, I saw your first movie review and thought maybe it was this but it wasn't, then I saw this and the only part I thought about was when the kid was in the vent and the girl was bit and he escaped without her, I remember it being his mom for some reason, lol. It was probably because he acted so close to her and it was possible that it was.
Lemme get this straight. Zombie rabid hampsters infiltrate a public plane and infect Bo' Ria Cho who make everyone turn into cannibal stoners. How much did the writers drink before writing this?
Wait... You missed that they were late for their shift and arrived at the airport at night than there's obvious daylight coming in through the Windows inside the terminal but than it's a night shot from inside the plane... How did you miss that?
Coming back from a International flight from Munich, there was a lady that actually had her cat in her purse Was like waaa I was kinda anticipating it getting away and having a cat running for the 7 hour flight but alas
The CDC seems really bad at this. Everyone should be taken to an observable Quarentine, not just locked in a random building. They know this is rabies and how that spreads as well as how fast it reacts. Just take everyone into observable areas, restrain them and anyone who's already infected is already too late to save and anyone who's not infected will be safe.
THERE'S A FINE-MESHED METAL GRATE INSIDE THAT RAT CAGE THERE IS NO WAY A RAT COULD BITE THROUGH THAT UNLESS IT HAS A STINGER IN ITS NOSE OR SOMETHING THIS IS NONSENSE THIS INFECTION NEVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED EVEN IF THE CAT AND RATS SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET THROUGH SECURITY
I watched this movie not so long back.. Regrettably lol Great review, as always Phelous! Love binge watching your awesome content :D when homework should be getting done XD
have you ever seen any real life cdc personnel? on any biological hazard cdc personnel down full body hazmat suits or similar clothing to prevent contamination of any type. not just airborne stuff.
I always find it ironic how poorly characters in films usually act to the idea of zombies. It's like every horror movie I've ever seen is a different time line where zombies were never heard of in popular media or something. I always like it when I see a zombie flick with competent characters who know what they are doing instead of just acting like gibbering idiots.
Agreed. Especially in that scene in Quarantine where the camera person zoomed in on the sniper. I face palmed. That's so stupid! I'd get outta the line of fire!
What the hell even was Quarantine 2? Quarantine 1 was a shitty remake of Rec. But Quarantine 2 seems to have made up its own shitty plot and decided not to be a remake of Rec 2.
A shitty side story that tells a tale of others who were trapped in a different location at the same time as the first movie. You wouldn't know from how the movie is shot, but I was barely able to put the pieces together from the little bits of evidence places throughout that were shittily shown.
+Blisterdude123 To be fair though, REC 2 was fucking horrible too. Took a really promising start with REC which was just awesome I thought and completely and utterly ruined it with a bunch of pseudo-religious bullshit. Part 3 was meh...it was better than part 2 a bit but this "series" should have stuck at one film, that being said I haven't seen REC 4 yet so maybe they somehow miraculously recaptured the magic of the first film, but I somehow doubt it.
“Bit Finger Mc Fatshot” - love that line🤣 I do like the premise of the Plane/Terminal setting, and for the most part this Movie was pretty unsettling to me when I watched it late at night in my living room. It’s just... ugh... American Movies are just so dull and dumb when it comes to creating Horror content. I remember when I watched the scenes after they locked the door leading into to baggage handling room, I put myself in that scenario and I would’ve just literally separated myself from the screaming unintelligible group of people and literally hide until the CBDT/Emergency forces come inside and deal with the situation. I’m pretty sure they’d eventually contain the situation until it’s safe for me to finally leave. I mean... if they capture me at least I won’t be a carrier of the Armageddon Virus🤷🏻♀️.
i swear i think this is the only person who reviewed these two movies but he does not seem happy to do it i know he said he doesint feel like doing it but it least said a little happy instead of just the mood of being here because i get payed
The whole zombies on a plane concept had already actually been done, and a lot better (read: entertaining and better doesn't absolutely mean good) in Flight of the Living Dead. Obscure, but a decent find if you want to wash the taste of this out of your mouth.
You know what this film's plot should've been more like? Have that Doctor Guy fuck up while trying to transport his infected rat through security, ends up becoming infected himself after checking his mysterious cargo, then ends up becoming a Rabies zombie while the plane was in the air and after biting two or three passengers, becoming feral and start spreading the infection, which causes the plane to crash at an airport. Then Search and rescue squad end up getting mauled by a survivor, then the entire airport gets quarantined while the CCBDT (or whatever it's called) was on site and they performed an impromptu quarantine of locking off the infected and still trying to figure out a possible treatment for the infected, though it goes fuck up when a rich prick tries to sneak out of the quarantine and didn't realize he ingested Rabies drool, then attacks the guard, forcing the team to panic and open fire at every single person at the terminal. You know, something akin to Train to Busan.
Hey remember when that 1 dog got rabies then every dog on earth got rabies... wait that never happened cause biting is a terrible way to spread disease. On a related notes humans would be particularly under qualified for spreading bite based infection.
Those jumpcuts would be excusable if it were a found footage movie. And this movie is mostly shot like it's a found footage movie due to the lack of music and shaky cam. Only it doesn't provide the in-universe explanation a found footage movie provides.
With all things considered if you get infected by getting blood and or Silvia in your system it does make sense why they would wear some kinda facial protection but instead of what they wear in they movie they most likely would wear something similar to a swat team more on protection if they knew it wasn't air borne
