Right, well I was lured into watching the 2022 thriller "Eradication" given the movie's interesting cover/poster. And the synopsis had some appeal to it as well. Sure, I had never even heard about this movie from writers Harry Aspinwall and Daniel Byers prior to sitting down to watch it.
The storyline in "Eradication", as written by Harry Aspinwall and Daniel Byers, is slow paced. So very, very slow paced. Believe me when I say that virtually nothing happens throughout the 87 minutes that the movie runs for. So director Daniel Byers didn't exactly manage to deliver a wholesome movie experience here. And truth be told, I had expected a bit more from the movie than what it turned out to be.
The acting in the movie was okay, but the cast were struggling with having a subpar script to work with. And given the setting of the movie, and the limited number of people on the screen, then the actors and actresses had to deliver more convincing performances in order to carry the movie, and they just weren't able to do so given the script - or lack thereof.
Visually then "Eradication" was okay. It was not a movie that used a whole lot of special effects, so you're not in for a particular impressive spectacle of visual effects.
While I managed to endure all 87 minutes of "Eradication", then I wasn't entertained. So why stick around? Well, I was hoping that the movie would pick up, that director Daniel Byers would surprise the audience with something. But it just never happened. And thus I can in all honesty say that this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch, nor is it a movie that I would recommend you to waste your time, money or effort on.
Sadly, the movie's cover/poster was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.
My rating of "Eradication" lands on a two out of ten stars.
