Quarantine

About This Movie

Quarantine (2015) is an intriguing piece by James Kid that captures a unique sense of isolation. The film dives deeply into Clark's life, where he’s been cut off from the world, fed a steady diet of curated media that shapes his perceptions. The atmosphere is almost claustrophobic, enhancing that feeling of confinement. As Clark’s desires grow, you really feel that tension build, especially around his need for touch – something so primal yet withheld from him. The pacing offers a slow burn, but in a way that lets you marinate in his loneliness. Practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing more on the emotional weight of the performances, which are quite striking and resonate on a personal level. Overall, it’s a thoughtful exploration of human connection and the consequences of isolation.
