Set for release on November 21st, Quarantine is a remake of the very noisy Spanish thriller Rec. The plot remains much the same, local TV news reporter Angela (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station.
A seemingly routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building where they find police officers responding to reports of 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.
