    Hilariously bad...

    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. 😂🤣

    Bad After Taste

    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.

    When Medical Research Goes Wrong

    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.

    Great Movie

    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.

    You need patience with this movie !

    Daniel Baldwin excelled himself in one of the worst movies , he's ever starred in ! And the lead actress Tuckie White (aka 'Lacie ) has hopefully given up acting as she has Zero talent . Further , The script was appalling with Lacie just saying the same thing!.

    One of the characters said she felt like she hadn't eaten for days and was hungry. There was a vending machine in the room that she could have broken to grab a couple of chocolate bars , which of course she didn't do ( It would have been the highlight of the movie if she had ! )

    There have been low budget movies made , which have been really good because the acting , directing and script have been excellent . However , none of those qualities existed in this movie . Also one of characters lost all her hair whilst turning into a Zombie but in the next scene she had a full head of hair! ( She needs to market that Zombie shampoo cos she'd make a fortune!)
