I had a few beers whilst watching it. I was maybe a little tiddly, a bit merry but not really pissed as such.
"I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch with my feet up."
Yeah, that was one of the HUGE shocks in the movie. I was pissed that Jake was killed. I'm a fan of Jay Hernandez and that completely caught me off guard. He turned his back for one second to tell Scott to hurry and BLAM, that was it. That was when you truly knew they were doomed IMO.
"I am the ultimate badass, you do not wanna `*beep*` wit' me!" Hudson in Aliens.
**SPOILER ALERT**
His character had shown such an astonishingly bad sense of decision by actually poking his head up in to that attic, that if he had survived I'd have been pissed!

^That wasn't Jake. It was Scott.
Don't eva let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
My mistake. In any event, ALL the characters seemed to refuse to stick with one authority because of emotions or lapse in judgement and suffered the consequences for it. When that building was sealed off, it was CURTAINS for all of them!

I knew this was going to happen because of REC, but the character in both the original and remake was probably the most sympathetic of all of them.
shareIt is an annoying plot contrivance. I think in real life, people are somewhat more manageable and follow the lead of the authority figure. In real life it is the authority figure's control to lose if they don't demonstrate a sound handling of the situation.
But I've found that almost all horror films use the contrivance of people being willfully stupid in their behaviours. Without this contrivance, we wouldn't have a ninety minute movie.

In .REC we see the Jake character later on as one of the possessed screaming up the stairs, chasing the last two survivors in an amazingly creepy scene where ALL the possessed inhabitants are charging up the stairwell with him towards the camera. I was waiting for this scene in Quarantine but it never happened. Was the director trying to spare the audiences feelings towards Jake and not upset anyone at seeing him as one of the bad guys now?
Just another reason why I prefer .REC to Quarantine.
