Scoop: Reality TV reporter Angela and her cameraman, Scott, are assigned to cover a night shift with a pair of firemen at their L.A. station. After an uneventful evening, a 911 distress call takes them to an apartment building downtown. There they find a bloody, erratic woman; and when the authorities approach to help her, she suddenly attacks--with her teeth. Angela, Scott and company attempt to leave the complex, but they find that the CDC has quarantined the building.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Not a good sign when the help that's come to save you has collapsed from a wound. Is there another extension to call when 911 isn't working out? Not sure if this film will connect or not with its fans.
Snapshot Prediction: 2.5 out of 5 stars
