Angela is a TV reporter who does a quick little night segment on firefighters and what their jobs are like. Everything starts pretty boring and it seems like they're not going to get a great story... until there is a disturbance call. They all go to this apartment building where everyone is downstairs complaining about noises coming from this apartment with an older woman, the fireman and police go up there to find the woman very disturbed and mumbling. All of a sudden the woman tries to attack them, the police and firemen along with Angela go downstairs to find out that they've been locked in, the police outside have quarantined the building. The woman viciously bites one of the firemen who turns into a rabid zombie who starts attacking the others. The virus is spreading and there's only so much time before they all descend into this scary nightmare.
I would highly recommend Rec for any movie fan, this was just a fun movie to watch and one of the better horror films I've seen. Quarantine was just the American version with a few deleted scenes that are not in Rec, but I felt that Rec explained itself better. Why and how the virus came to be as well as where the mysterious tenant is and what he did. Like I said, I do feel silly, they're both pretty much the exact same movie just in different languages, but I just enjoyed this movie was just better.
