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!

A lot of people have been focused on how terrible this movie is, but there are some bright points. First of all, it's a silly fun plot - just the kind of alien invasion movie you'd expect from no one you'd ever heard of's neighbors who they've never heard of. The acting is terrible, of course, but it's terrible like an old show on the CW, not like a B movie from the 60s. And the CGI is fun terrible. There's a shot at the end where there is fire... that is NOT fire. It's funny, silly background fun and it's on Netflix, so while I wouldn't sing its praises, I would give it props for being exactly what you'd expect it to be.

It was certainly (or just about) worth every penny, lol.

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.

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.
