After Effect

So, this was hilariously bad. Like, MST3000 bad. D'list bad. The only actor I recognized was Daniel Baldwin and that should give you a clue. 😆 However, I managed to watch it anyway just to giggle at the horrible quality of the direction and terrible performances. It just might be the worst movie I have ever seen. 😂🤣

Horror films are all the rage this year (World War Z, Insidious: Chapter 2, Carrie...) and After Effect is finally one worth watching. I hate horror movies, they give me awful headaches and I don't see the point of them. As soon as After Effect started, I changed my mind.

If you are looking for a movie that will leave you on the edge of your seat the whole time, this is that movie!!! Direction and acting are great, story line is very creative and still believable, hate those movies with ideas from left field. Definitely do not take your kids to see it, it was a little intense for a grown man like me but at the same time I wanted to see more. Hope they make a sequel the writing was creative and would love to see more from this writer.

The film is a visual masterpiece. Kirk Anderson gives an absolutely stunning performance, acting to absolutely nothing, yet always being right on the spot.

If you get a chance to see After Effect, go for it. David McElroy has outdone himself with this film, it's definitely a must see for horror film lovers.

I was lured in by the promise stating "The Walking Dead meets 28 Days Later" on the cover of this movie. So yeah, I must admit that I had some expectations for this 2012 movie. Which, I oddly enough, hadn't heard of before stumbling upon it in 2019, and I am a huge zombie fan.

Nevertheless, I sat down to watch "After Effect", and when I saw that Daniel Baldwin was in it, I knew that the movie was not likely to live up to what was promised on the front cover. And right I was, because this was quite far from both "The Walking Dead" and "28 Days Later". This was something else alright.

The movie definitely had potential, I mean a group of people locked inside a testing facility to undergo some military experiment. But that is where it stopped, because the movie settled into stupidity and sluggish mediocrity pretty quickly. Director David McElroy didn't really come up with anything particularly great here.

For a zombie movie, "After Effect" was not delivering anything worthwhile, and it was hard to take most of the characters seriously. I mean, some of the things they did and said was just downright stupid. If you sign up for testing and getting paid, why would you turn all scared and start yelling and screaming when you are lead to a room and they close the door behind you.

"After Effect" was not a memorable movie, yet I managed to sit through the entirety of it, hoping that it would improve and turn out just semi-adequate. That just never happened.

My rating of "After Effect" is a mere three out of ten stars. The movie was sluggish, boring and just downright uneventful. It was crammed with pointless characters that you don't really care about, and writers David McElroy and Marc Menet just didn't make much of anything noteworthy here with this 2012 movie.

This is a pretty good zombie-type film.

So, this college student is a bit low on cash. She normally does three jobs to make ends meet, and then spots a way to earn some extra dough...medical research!!

We've all heard about it, loads of cash, some have placebo's, some have the real thing, and you can earn loads of cash.

But in this case, it turns out not to be a good investment plan. I know some have labelled it to be like 28 days later, but It's not, as they all sign up to be tested on. Things obviously turn for the worse, and I try not to give anything away, but it has a pretty good storyline, who knows who will become the next infected one, and who will survive.

The US army wants a new biological weapon and they are testing it on volunteer students who want to make a quick thousand dollars. Once a group is selected they are put into the facility equipped with cameras, then gassed which is how the drug is administered. They sit back and watch the results.

The drug makes them bleed from all orifices, then gives them a surge of energy making them incredibly strong wanting just to kill. They look like demon zombies. The difference in this film is that the infected people can be killed like how anybody could be. They don't take 50 bullets and keep going.

My only complaint is the overplayed premise and Daniel Baldwin's presence.
