Infected

The guy in the cowboy hat was awful. He yelled in scenes that didn't call for him to yell at all. He sounded like a man scolding his children not directing commands to other adults. I'm also not sure the point of the son at the end in that garage. That went on forever and nothing even happened. I was shocked that the refrigerator that he appeared to attack to open had no food but yet the freezer was working well and it was spotless, clean. Come on guys, low budget doesn't mean it should be crap.

This is not entertainment, it's anti-tainment. If you've rented this for say 99p, I'd say you'd have a strong case for getting your money back under the Sale of Goods Act, because it is not fit for purpose. You won't even enjoy this if you enjoy bad horror films, because this is not bad in a good-natured, well meaning way - it's bad in a needing-to-go-to-the-dentist-for-a-filling kind of way.

Mundane. Boring. Utterly devoid of interest, it is something that must be merely endured. If you've had the misfortune to buy this, I urge you to destroy it without watching it. Take your time about it, it's the only way you're going to have any fun here. A lot of people were involved in making this film, yet astoundingly not one of them seems to have thought "hold on, this is crap, isn't it?" All of these people should be stripped of whatever filmic credentials they possess and prevented from working in the industry again, under threat of lengthy jail time. Their equipment should be slowly crushed in front of them, until they get the message: "this is not for you - find something else to do. Shame on you. Shame on you." As for Madsen and Forsythe's involvement.....I am flabbergasted. I can only assume somebody's got a big sheaf of very incriminating photos indeed locked away in a safety deposit box somewhere.

I found myself wanting to fast forward to get to the adverts, only to realise there were none. I longed for the superior plot, dialogue, casting and scoring of say, your average Go Compare advert.

"Infected" is the standard virus related zombie flick of modern horror. The film is directed by Glenn Ciano who also wrote the story and screenplay for the movie. It deals with a father and son on a weekend retreat with loved ones at the precipice of a viral outbreak that results in aggressive flesh eaters. It stars Michael Madsen, William Forsythe, Tom DeNucci, Christy Romano and Kristi Lynn.

"Infected" is a standard outbreak-zombie story that manages to tell a pretty good, entertaining nightmare scenario despite the fact that it offers nothing new to the genre. The acting is acceptable, although some of the cast have the cred to warrant a much better performance than they gave to this film. The biggest and most exciting aspect of the film for me was the title sequence with hottie-Tom DeNucci given us total porn fantasy in the tool shop. Man I could have watched two hours of him doing that! All that was missing was the cold water splash down after working up such a sweat. That sequence followed by the climax portion of the film where we return back to that swooning moment of the story really pleased me – a lot! (yeah I know-total perv here!) Anyway this doesn't negate the fact that the acting and story was pretty well written and directed by Ciano.

The film did have very basic stripped down special effects which at times fail the film but for the most part they work just fine-quite frankly I am just thankful that the movie didn't rely totally on CGI! The character driven moments that are intended to build suspense and emotional investment for the viewer seems to fall flat at moments, coming across more as over-exaggerated. However for the most part the complete result of the films ability to hold my attention was executed. I never really found my thoughts wondering and I never became bored with the story. It is a really decent zombie outbreak film that also does nothing to detract from the genre that may seem over stuffed with the undead at the moment. I enjoyed the film, the action, the zombies, all in all the film is one of the better zombie flicks. I really liked the more stripped down, organic approach to horror that this film used to tell this story. Plus as I stated earlier that beginning sequence and end was hot! Wish there would have been more of that and of Tom DeNucci sexually exploited in the main portion of the movie but hey – it is horror not porn.

I can't believe all these actors agreed to make this movie. Everything is awful: acting, story, effects. Jokes are bad too. Story goes to nowhere. From the first ten minutes you can say how it will end. Director tried to attract our attention with the help of Michael Madsen(and it kinda worked).

Oh, and one more thing: zombies look very sick, even for them. I hope people won't be able to watch this movie and damage their brains.

P.S

Comparing this movie with other recent low-budget movies, I can say that it's one of the worst horror film in years.

OMG!

Are we supposed to take it that Madsen and Forsythe are so desperate for drug money they had to make this movie?

In Rhode Island no less?

Forsythe looks like he has white brillo pads on his head.

The movie took nearly 3 years to finish.

Both the leads have such drug ravaged voices you can't make out what they are saying half the time.

It's a mess.

DO NOT WATCH IT.

The Plot.

A blood virus infects a small group of hunters turning a father & son trip into a fight for survival.
