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.

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.

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....

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.

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.
