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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
