Movie Story
Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew's videotape.

It was awesome. Jay Hernandez can break down my door anytime.

I am a big fan of good horror, but this was a truly horrible movie. Camera motion was way overdone and the attacks were predictable and redundant. The only things quarantined here were imagination and entertainment.

posted by Quarantine on Nov 03, 2008The only thing worth a penny is the seat and air conditioning. Suckiest movie ever watched. Makes me dizzy with the shaky camera
posted by Marcus on Dec 01, 2008Suck to the max. My grandmother would have done the movie better
posted by Jennifer on Dec 01, 2008Its a disgrace to hollywood. I think any of those bollywood movies are still better
posted by Ahmed on Dec 01, 2008Its rather dissapointing watching it. Cant imagine the western country would have released such a low rated movie
posted by Evelyn on Dec 01, 2008I rate a 2 star as i only it is fair to reserve a little as i only watched the beginning part where they're in the building. I found it meaningless and felt drowsy with the shaky camera
posted by John on Dec 01, 2008Is this supposed to be a nominated for golden globe or academy award best movie? if then congrats hollywood, u made it!! =D.. disgraced.
posted by Lee on Dec 01, 2008don't even bother... Rec (the originla version) is way better

posted by xerinelisax on Jun 19, 2009I usually like horror films but this was unwatchable. Poorly written, poorly shot, predictable - you name it.
