Infection: The Invasion Begins

Hard to believe that anyone was actually willing to finance this piece of garbage. The film is hard to describe it's so bad, and I don't mean fun bad...just bad. Here's the story: a meteor falls from the sky and is discovered just outside a small town. Soon the brain-dead sheriff and some local idiots discover it's actually full of little worm-like pieces of cardboard that take over people's minds and personalities. In other words, not an original idea in this whole fiasco of a film. What's worse every single effect in the film is CGI, and of the most amateur quality imaginable. As for the acting, there's a special 15 minute video included on the DVD which should have been titled "The making of a piece of crap", in which all the actors admit they've had no acting experience and what a thrill it was to have the chance. Their last, I'm sure. I admit, I couldn't actually watch the film, I fast-forwarded through most of it. AWFUL!

If you've read any of the other reviews there's no need to go into a discussion of plot.

I've seen better acting on community theater stages.

There's no T&A. The best body is that of Bryan Brewer and though our female lead notices when he takes his shirt off to use as a tourniquet, they never even kiss. Which leads one to wonder what else we don't know about his time in prison.

There are more holes in this story than a block of swiss cheese - which would be a lot more satisfying.

The credit show that this epic was edited on a Mac. Well I won't judge the capabilities of editing on a Mac by this. (Although the house fire was more than lame)

I gave it 3 stars because it wasn't so horrible I couldn't watch it all the way to the end. But if I had known how badly the end was written I'd have stopped before the flashback.

Unless you just want to see Bryan Brewer with his shirt off (briefly), find another movie to watch.

This movie is about as bad as a movie can get. The script is horrible. the Direction is horrible. The acting is non existent. Kelly Pendygraft, who open playing an old woman cannot act in the slightest. She does the worst stereotype of an old lady you will ever see. Then there is a flashback to 60 years earlier and the story is supposed to unfold. Only you will be sleeping by 0:09:23.

When they cut to the future, the scenes are like cartoons. They actually have bad cgi cars flying! And the reporter drive a SmartCar. Guess they somehow thought it looked futuristic? It doesn't. It looks like a Smart Car.

But back to Kelly. When she's "young" Kelly she works in a diner and looks like she's pushing 40. When she's old Kelly, she's in a home and wears a grey wig. They put some of the worst old people makeup on her, but tell me what freaking age is she supposed to be? 90? 100? It makes no sense.

This really is one of the worst movies ever made. And not in an Ed Wood good way. It's just bad and should never have been made. You cannot imagine how horrible this film is. How slow. Painful is the only word I can use.

Kelly has been in a lot of things in the past 10 years, but mostly shorts and uncredited garbage. She really cannot act so how she got cast, we probably all know.

There a scene late in the movie where young Kelly is wearing a belly shirt, only you're supposed to wear those when you don't have a belly. Who wants to get a gunt ticking out?

Stay away from this movie at all costs. and if you don't, don't come crying to me.

I honestly can't believe that this managed to get released at all, straight to DVD or otherwise. I think that they spent the entire budget on the cover art for the movie, which could easily fool you into wasting 95 minutes of your life that you can never have back, as it did to me.

There acting is sub-par, the makeup is horrendous, there are huge holes and incongruencies in the story, the character interaction is not believable, strained, and at times nonsensical, and the dialogue is badly written and badly delivered. The real icing on the cake are the effects. I think that I could have done better with a couple of hours and some kind of freeware program.

Watcher beware. If you are a fan of really, really terrible movies, still watch with extreme caution. Everyone else avoid at all costs. F's all around.

This movie was 95 minutes of sheer hell but, like a car crash, I was compelled to keep watching. I was hoping, against hope, that this film may get better. But I was wrong. The acting was appalling. The writer should be banned from even filling forms. The makeup was about as convincing as some Hollywood marriages and as for the "Special effects" - they certainly were very special indeed. However the cherry on the cake for me was to be found hidden in the credits. If you look closely you will see that they have given special thanks to the screen actors guild. I truly cannot understand why you would thank the very institution that has undoubtedly taken out a hit on the cast and crew. If they ( cast and crew ) have any sense of self preservation they will have already acquired new identities and fled to some obscure third world nation.

In the immortal words of Comic book guy WORST MOVIE EVER.
