Infected

This movie was so bad. Really, really bad. It's like watching one of those crappy, instantly forgettable 1980's creature features but without the charm.

This is a siege movie and there isn't really anything more to the plot. People are infected with a zombie-like virus and attack our heroes, who are all hanging out at that eternal target of flesh eating monsters, a remote farm house.

Michael Madsen and William Forsythe are featured prominently as a couple of tough old hunters and both are bad, although different kinds of bad. Madsen gives the same gravelly, slightly disinterested performance he's been doing since Kill Bill. Forysthe goes the other route, with a weird piece of crazy over acting that left me feeling embarrassed for the talented character actor. Christy Romano, child star of Even Stevens and of Mirrors 2, is literally the only good piece of the cast and she is really trying to do good work. She doesn't have that much screen time though.

This flick has crappy picture quality, lame effects, laughable dialog, and is all around terrible. Just avoid it. It isn't even funny.

I have never felt the need to leave a review before but this is probably the worst film I have ever seen. The initial premise comes across as this could be OK, a bit cliché'd but an attempt to add a bit of originality to the origin of the outbreak.

The effects are poor which wouldn't necessarily be bad but add the strange musical interludes which seem like an attempt to build romantic intrigue, throw in a new cliché every 5 minutes or so and you end up with a film that goes downhill fast and stays there.

The final nail in the coffin of this awful film is to finish it off with a narrative that makes it feel like you have just finished watching a T.V. pilot.

Some bad films are funny because they are bad, this one isn't, it's just bad.

I can't believe all these actors agreed to make this movie. Everything is awful: acting, story, effects. Jokes are bad too. Story goes to nowhere. From the first ten minutes you can say how it will end. Director tried to attract our attention with the help of Michael Madsen(and it kinda worked).

Oh, and one more thing: zombies look very sick, even for them. I hope people won't be able to watch this movie and damage their brains.

P.S

Comparing this movie with other recent low-budget movies, I can say that it's one of the worst horror film in years.

OMG!

Are we supposed to take it that Madsen and Forsythe are so desperate for drug money they had to make this movie?

In Rhode Island no less?

Forsythe looks like he has white brillo pads on his head.

The movie took nearly 3 years to finish.

Both the leads have such drug ravaged voices you can't make out what they are saying half the time.

It's a mess.

DO NOT WATCH IT.

The Plot.

A blood virus infects a small group of hunters turning a father & son trip into a fight for survival.

The guy in the cowboy hat was awful. He yelled in scenes that didn't call for him to yell at all. He sounded like a man scolding his children not directing commands to other adults. I'm also not sure the point of the son at the end in that garage. That went on forever and nothing even happened. I was shocked that the refrigerator that he appeared to attack to open had no food but yet the freezer was working well and it was spotless, clean. Come on guys, low budget doesn't mean it should be crap.
