Eradication

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....

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.

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.

It feels unfair to criticize a movie for its budget, because its clear that a lot of people with talent worked very hard on "Eradication". And to be fair, most of the movie takes place in an isolated patch of woods, so any issues with the budget are covered up by the beautiful scenery. But the beginning of this movie set a tone that the rest couldn't shake. This movie starts with some of the worst VFX I have ever seen. Maybe if those shots were closer to the end of the movie it would have been less distracting, but when you set your audience up to expect something terrible instead of something good then you create the wrong kind of tension.

Its a shame because this title ISN'T terrible. It's actually pretty good. The acting is solid, the camera work is great, and the concept is a fun twist on the Zombie Apocalypse genre. Apart from the VFX, the biggest issue is that the film drags a bit in the beginning, but it quickly picks up steam so this isn't much of an issue either.

I think I would like this more if I watched it again knowing what to expect, but for a first viewing I couldn't help but keep thinking that "Eradication" would have been better with Hollywood money.
