Eradication:Contact Kills

Eradication (2022) is a Tubi original I recently watched on...Tubi. The storyline follows a man who wakes up in a cabin and the phone rings. The voice on the other end informs him the world has been impacted by a virus he appears immune to but he needs to stay in the cabin to survive. If he is bitten it could be the end of existence. Can the man follow orders and who is the voice on the phone?

This movie is directed by Daniel Byers in his directorial debut and stars Harry Aspinwall (The Quest) and Anita Abdinezhad (Scooter).

This movie had a lot of potential. The scenery and cinematography is gorgeous. The makeup and zombies are very well done. Unfortunately the movie is primarily the main character wandering around confused with nothing happening. The storyline concept isn't overly original but it contains some unique elements. The end is dumb and frustrating but not what you'd expect.

Overall this is a film that has some worthwhile elements but fails to meet its potential. I would score this a 3.5-4/10 and only recommend it if you can't find something better to watch.

Do you enjoy hearing egg times going off every minute, because that is what the first 20 minutes of this movie is(that is as far as I have made it) Such an annoying sound, not sure who thought that would be enjoyable but they were wrong. I mean the guy had a dream where he was woken by an egg timer going off and then in that same dream was brought out of the dream by yet another egg timer. They really should have called this movie "eggtimer" or "the time of the egg....timers"

Also how the hell does the laptop keep running when there seems to be no electricity? Where is the internet coming from out in the middle of the woods when there is once again no electricity? Are there answers to these questions later on, maybe but I highly doubt it.

Zombie/pandemic movies are my favorite kind so I was immediately interested but now I don't think I can finish, First type of film like this that I will have ever failed to watch to the end. I would avoid this movie.

Thats it.

A man in a house in a forest.

Something about a virus.

Then just an egg timer for the rest of the film going off every minute or two.

Atrociously bad.

Stay away at all costs.

Only way it could be worse if it was a baby crying for the rest of the film instead of the egg timer.

If it was any slower paced it would have been dead on arrival. If it was any more pointless it would be a beach ball.

Someone should have slapped the director/writer in the face early on.

Who would want to listen to an egg timer go off every minute for an hour and a half?

Its incredible. So bad its unbelievable, might go down in history as the next 'The Room' - but far far more annoying.

I really liked this movie, it kept me interested most of the time. I did skip ahead several times during the long drawn out up close emotional face shots and long scenery walks or house sneaking waiting for danger at the next corner, they draw those scenes out way too long in every movie. Other than that, I was glued to the screen waiting to find out the mystery of what is really going on. Some things are still not clear to me but that's okay, gives me something to think about. The ending was unexpected but I suppose that is due to constant Hollywood garbage. Overall a good movie imo, much better than the usual cgi/action/dumbed down usual stuff.

And, this will probably get my review banned, but there was no forced on you identity or gender or race stuff shoved in your face....

This movie is a mash of several different genres. It mostly seems to be The Omega Man and zombie movies along with a sprinkling of Orwellin ideas. I was enjoying movie until about halfway through when the I became more and more irritated with the main character. I was ready to kill the main character myself, if I could, then think this is the last pathetic excuse of a man left in the world. This character has no survival skills of any kind. He has no ability to forage for food. No ability to fashion even rudimentary weapons. To top this all off he is a gasp... a vegetarian. Civilization seems to have ended but he is not upset at this fact as he refuses food provided to him because it contains animal products. The horror of it all. The movie does have an interesting twist but not enough to overcome my irritation with the main character.
