Eradication

It is a B-level movie but close to A-level. I enjoyed it, and I'm skeptical of every movie. I hope Tubi produces more movies. It's shot well with camera angles, very well lit - beautiful cinematography. It has decent acting - the main actor does a good job in the role he's supposed to play - that's a tough character to act. It's edited well - better than most b-level sci-fi (or non-fiction) movies. The pacing is perfect. The story is creative for a pandemic movie. Brilliant story as well.

Bravo. The story keeps you entertained to the end. And I appreciate the homages to other movies - I think you'll appreciate them as well.

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.

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.

This film is so incredibly slow paced. It takes an hour for anything interesting to happen. Even then, none of it makes logical sense, just so poorly written, I'm not expecting a masterpiece of cinema but it has a really bad storyline with no real direction or explanation. He refuses to listen to his wife who is apparently a scientist - thinking he knows better. I'm not going to spoil if for anyone who makes the poor life choice to actually put themselves through watching this. It's an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back.

The acting is poor and the storyline and character development is shaky at best, you're genuinely best not wasting your time.

I'd have turned it off after less than an hour but given the length of the film and the sunken cost of my time.

The ending is atrocious as well. There's a weird obsession with drones in the film too.

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.
