QUARANTINE (2008)
SYNOPSIS
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. -
