Final Grade: F
Overview: As part of a reporting assignment to shadow some real fire fighters, TV reporter Angela Vidal(Carpenter) and a cameraman spend a 48 hour shift along with a few of Los Angeles’s firemen documenting what happens to them and in the firehouse during a normal shift. Their shift turns out quickly to be anything but normal when they get a call to a boarding house where the tenants appear to be going buzzurk, running around like rabid animals attacking and eating the other tenants of the building. In short, they’ve contracted a fast acting form of rabies that is as violent as it is potent. (Don’t ask, it’s in the script!). Needless to say, the folks at the health department and the CDCC have no clue how to handle this outbreak other than to board everyone into this building in a forced quarantine. Hence the name. And as you probably have already guessed, during the remainder of the movie we have to endure the zombiefied victims of rabies charging after the other people to eat them for lunch. This is kind of a cross between a zombie flick and a night of the living dead caliber, but with a really poor and predictable plotline.
Sometimes these movies have a decent scare value. Sometimes they’re interesting to see how the character development is written to respond to a life and death scenario. But then, sometimes the script is obviously low budget, low quality and you wonder what idiot at the studio approved this thing! This is one of those times!
This flick joins the ranks of all those that really shouldn’t have been made. If you’re going to walk out of a flick this month, this will be the one you walk out on. I doubt you’d even like this if you’re a die hard horror and zombie fan! And that’s more words than this movie deserves!
I’m Don Rima and that’s the way I saw it, From Where I Stand.
