Plot Outline: Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned...
Plot: 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 crews videotape.

Crazy Credits: We know about 6 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
The people being pulled over when Farva is back patrolling the roads are refered to as "Chicken F**kers".

Goofs: We know about 17 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Revealing mistakes: During Reed and Johnnys "lets have a bachelor party" conversation scene in the lab, one of the shots is a mirror image (identifiable by reversed text on one of the book covers on the desk.) It is a flipped shot of him pushing away from the desk on the other side later in the scene.

Trivia: There are 13 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Don Payne has said the film is based upon Fantastic Four issue #48, in which Galactus also makes an appearance, as well as issues 57-60 in which Doom steals the Surfers power. Payne has also said the film takes inspiration from the Ultimate Marvel limited series Ultimate Extinction.
• Was given a PG rating by the MPAA, the first Marvel film since Howard the Duck (1986) to earn this rating.
• Stan Lee plays a rejected wedding guest in a cameo, in a tribute to his own fictional comic book incarnation. It has become a tradition for Lee to have cameo appearances in live-action adaptations of his comics; he appeared in the first _Fantastic Four (2004)_ film playing the Baxter Buildings mailman, Willie Lumpkin.
