Make that three. The shaky cam scenes are unwatchable. I have no idea what's going on in those scenes.

I couldn't agree more with all of you. I hated, hated, hated the camera shaking. It gave me a friggin headache. That's probably what helped to give this movie such a low rating.

Seriously - and not just this movie either. Shaky cam is a crime against movie watchers everywhere. I have never seen any movie where I thought, "gee, this really could have used a little more shaky cam."

Agreed! One director makes use of the shaky camera angle and all of a sudden it's the rage. It's hard to follow and it's annoying as hell too!

That and the horrible lighting. Once they got dumped in the slaughterhouse, the scenes were so dark I couldn't see anything except sweat, the occasional blond hair, and the stripes on Amber's jacket sleeve.

Then I saw 'Animal House' was playing on VH1, so this clunker got ditched.

That's why I hate Rec and Quarantine.

Considering there was a lot of running and desperate situations, it did not bother me much. But with other films, when you are watching a scene of a mountain side, shaky cam is annoying.

100% agreed. It's nothing but a headache and is the reason I didn't finish the movie after the first attack at the warehouse.

Throw my name in the hat. I think they do it to save $$$ on effects, lighting, stunts, storyline, plot, acting, etc. The ONLY film where it was cool was "Cloverfield", because it was SUPPOSED to be amateurs. These films are unwatchable and pointless. I also concur with the earlier poster on the lighting (or lack thereof). I gave it 2.

Son, you can't polish a turd

Agree completely. 38 minutes in and I can't watch any more. The shaky cam gives me a headache from rapid eye movement. If I thought it was going to get better I might try to hang in there, but going by the comments I don't think I'm going to be missing anything.
