    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. 😂🤣

    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.

    Slop

    No spoilers: Three of these turd movies about the same crap came out the same year. The Facility, Blood Work and this. This was the worst of the three. I couldn't rate any of them over a 3. This one is the worst. If you make it pass the classroom scene you might make it to the end.

    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.

    Better than expected.

    A group of students sign up to take part in a military research scheme, a test that sees each of them due to cash in $1000. Some of the subjects are novices, some are experienced, the trial isn't quite what they'd planned for.

    You could be forgiven for thinking that this was a rubbish film, multiple negative comments and a very low score, however, for horror lovers like myself, there is definitely something here to enjoy.

    The subjects are all assembled, in an almost Agatha Christie style, then one by one they suffer their fate.

    It's not quite a zombie movie as such, but there are shades, the 'monsters' are just a little bit different somehow.

    The aids remark I thought was a little tasteless.

    It is definitely not Daniel Baldwin's finest hour, he's a little hammy to say the least, but otherwise the acting is decent enough.

    One of the more effective 'students take part in a medical trial' type horrors.

    6/10.
