I've been feeling a bit in the mood for a scary movie, so when I went on YouTube to look up something unrelated, I went ahead and clicked on the official preview for a movie called Quarantine. This was the first time I've heard of this movie, and after seeing the preview, I'm almost certainly not going to go see the movie.
Here's the preview.
And here's my comment, in case they delete it (which is quite likely, I think):
Ahh, the joys of telling people how stupid they are....

Color me unimpressed. I find it kind of ridiculous that an official ad has such an obvious squashing of the frame on its intro. As for the preview itself, the shakycam makes me think Cloverfield ripoff (and what consumer video camera shoots in letterbox, anyway? Maybe it's a news crew, but then it should still be in 1.33). This seems a poor choice for a preview clip, since it's incomprehensible out of context, and the ending seems random and unexciting. I'm definitely not seeing this movie.
