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.

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.
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.

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.
