Nerds That Geek Movie Review: ‘The Quarantine Hauntings’

Written by Scott Edwards

I really want to find out where the schools are that allow you to do really cool things for assignments. While I have taken paleontology and archeology classes, ninety percent of the work was done in the classroom, mainly in books.  While I understand how much research must be completed before making it to the field, a little field work would have made the classes much more enjoyable and possibly changed the direction of where my education would have taken me. Being able to pick a subject of what to write about for these classes always left my professors a little taken back, as I could talk about what I read or what the pictures showed at sites, but I always took it a different route to make sure they understood that I knew what was going on with the research, but I wanted to make it wildly entertaining as well.

Having a difficult time coping with her father’s passing almost a year ago, Jasmine (Jas) has graduated to speaking with a psychiatrist on her mother’s orders. Not wanting to be there and not willing to open up to the stranger, Jas keeps everything she can inside and while she knows that she will never get better by doing it, there is no other choice since Jas refuses to let the memory of her father go. But the nightmares are getting worse for the young woman and something needs to change in Jas’ life so her doctor gives her a new medication that should help her sleep better at night. Taking one in the office, Jas is ready to go home with her extended family, since she and her best friend Skye have plans for visiting the haunted Quarantine Station tonight.

Getting home and seeing her boyfriend Cameron waiting for her with camera in hand, Jas is not in the mood and just wants to be left alone. As Skye keeps an eye on the hormone raged boyfriend, she allows Jas some time to herself since it was apparent that her friend had a hard time with the shrink today.  Not allowing himself to be left out of her life, Cam tries to explain his position and winds up making everything out to be his girlfriend’s fault and Jas kicks him out.  A short time later, Jas finds out that her mother and Skye’s mother are going out to party and Jas will have to babysit her little brother and Skye’s little brother. Thinking that it is disrespectful to her father’s memory that her mother is more or less back out on the prowl, Jas tries to shut down, but with promise of a good time at the Quarantine Station, she will not be held back from enjoying herself at all.

While on the tour at the station, the girls and their brothers find out all about the hauntings that are taking place and they want to know more. Hearing stories about the ghost of a girl in a pink dress, they find out that this is the most malicious spirit that anyone has ever encountered and while they should be scared, Jas and Skye want to mess with their siblings. Trying to evoke the spirit of the ghost, the girls give their brothers a slight scare and head back home to work on their report about the station. But they are not alone as the words that they spoke has awakened the spirit of the girl in the pink dress and she wants revenge on whomever gets in her way. Being able to latch on to Jas, the ghost takes control of her living host and forces her to do her bidding. Seeing that his sister is possessed, Zac gets his team together to head back down to the station and try to reverse the curse, but little do any of them know the power that the Quarantine Station possesses and that the hauntings are very real.

A story where the ghost is hell bent on revenge for what happened to her in a past life, I dig it. Getting a full background of what happened in the Quarantine Station and how many people died there, the rumors are the best part of the stories as nobody living knows exactly what happened. It was a great set up to the storyline and watching as Jas becomes a medium for the girl in the pink dress is kind of scary and kind of cool at the same time. As the group was given the rules of the station, it is apparent that there are no rules when the ghosts come out to play and exact their revenge on the living. Watching how friendships are put to the test and how the family dynamic is challenged, it would be amazing to see anyone escape the clutches of one of the most powerful ghosts that ever walked in the station. Stay Scared.
