    The pseudo-documentary horror film with hand-cam Trembly and gray position, a resurgence knows almost a decade after the introduction of “Blair Witch Project”. In little more than a year, we have seen, “Diary of the Dead,” “Cloverfield” and the low-budget charmer “the signal.” Now “quarantine” wants to remind us that the frightening threat we face, can not mixing in the Middle East, but in the adjacent apartment.

    Our friendly alternative is Angela (Jennifer Carpenter), a Gung-ho on television, with their unflappable cameraman, Scott (Steve Harris), is the observation of the fire for a special on the workers in the night. A 911 call, a building of the old town to find them salivating hag and a flock of people worried. Scott with the camera running, just a strange situation quickly escalated into bloody chaos as a mysterious “infect” themselves and the sealing of the ceiling. It is a credit to the director, John Erick Dowdle that the film of the event less credible is the speed of the response of the government.

    The model is familiar, but the “quarantine” offer the Heebie Jeebies, with strong vibrations and perfectly calibrated. Skillfully claustrophobic setting of his work (and the script on the Spanish film “[REC]”), notes Mr. Dowdle of injuries and the bad.

    “I do not see many horror films,” admits Ms. Carpenter in the press notes. “You have a certain type of stomach.” It is true: a vacuum.

    In “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”, a small dog treat (expressed by Drew Barrymore) - a, the facilities and receive treatments, spa and designer in a shift of all - lost in Mexico and has his way back home. There are people (played by Piper Perabo, Jamie Lee Curtis and others), in the story, but especially on the dog and other dogs, it occurs and the quippy a line of flight, that the blade Special Effects - Openings in motion.

    One could try to forget the film of the opinion of Mexico, either as ground or appeal of the road and poshness poverty, particularly densely populated, the criminals and the Hustler all sorts, with the exception of this point of view is entire film, the lead story of pulses, the puppies damaged its way.

    “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” displays a wide selection of excellent Latino, that the voice talent of the players, including Andy Garcia, George Lopez, Edward James Olmos, Paul Rodriguez, Cheech Marin and Luis Guzmán. Even the radio personality Piolin and the opera star Plácido Domingo will be thrown in the mix. They are satisfied that such an effort and not even tire on the screen is in itself an enormous Bumm.

    It is a variation on the story as it is intelligently deconstruct the ideology of seduction and consumption, recently in the bracket for adolescents and young minds. Remember how Paris Hilton complex that the idea of youth as little princes and princesses, preserve what they want and what they want, is easy and collecting for a life without obligation. Unfortunately, “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” is not fantasy, the criticism, because the unhappy heroine, the right back where they started at the end of the film, is at the pool and the pool is empty and empty.

    I must confess that I have seen, “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” in German a drama about the revolutionary activism of the 1970s and an indie comedy about a young woman with a deep-rooted, sexual issues, which is not exactly me in the group . But still, despite all the fine words self-actualization/realization service superficially, it has more life than what “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” is there, which is good for neither man nor animal.
