The Scientist

I've had it up to here with the false advertising. This isn't a zombie movie. It almost works as a good build up to one but even then it's barely worth mentioning and that isn't the way it was marketed. The movie looks bad. The movie sounds bad. The movie is bad. The only thing about it that makes me give it two stars is that most of the actors were good. That's it. That's the only thing it has going for it.

This is a strange movie, because it technically isn't too good but to say that it didn't hold my interest would be a lie. The greatest aspect was the idea of the events leading up to a zombie outbreak instead of focusing on the outbreak itself, which I don't think is a spoiler since the movie is clear from the beginning that said outbreak is coming. This is a unique way to tell a zombie tale.

The production value is what it is. It isn't necessarily bad but it's far from good; perhaps boring would be the proper choice of word here. That said, the film maintains itself through a compelling performance from its leading actor Robb Hudspeth. He portrays a wide range of emotions throughout and he is mostly convincing at all times, which is a must since he is in nearly every scene of the movie.

It isn't a complete winner and it isn't something I would even go so far as to recommend, but it's just compelling enough that I look forward to seeing what Derrick Granado does next.

Don't Easter your time watching this movie the first 10 minutes I turned it off ... it's literally just plain out sucks.. terrible movie... are usually don't write comments about movies but this one was so bad I just had to...

Terrible movie I hated it wish I could give it a 0 . Worst movie I've ever seen there was nothing good about it trash actors terrible audio bad graphics just everything sucked.

The story isn't all that bad, wife gets terminal disease, guy happens to be a scientist and begins attempting to make a cure for her.

Where it falls apart is the terrible acting, mainly from the main guy, the scientist. Not only does his acting suck but he looks 20 years older than his wife and he's really hard to look at as well as he talks weird.

Then, when he's ready to test his crud on a human lab rat, he gets a bandanna with what I'm assume has chloroform on it. He gets his butt kicked my a super old homeless man then, at a bar, this 20 something starts giving him the hey how you doing eye. GIVE ME A BREAK! This guy is not attractive, zero game. He just walks up to her, whispers in her ear for like half a minute, we are not privi to what he says to her and she just walks off with him and ditches her friends for the guy who's old enough to be her grandpa and 10x as ugly. Yeah, he can't even get the upper hand on her either, she almost escapes before he ends up just having to strangle her. So, what was the point of his stupid chloroform? Didn't work on either people he tried to use it on.

Next he goes after the families hospice nurse which is beyond messed up cause she has been nothing but superb to him and his family. Now, this woman is curvy and black and I just like I didn't believe some young hot coed would have givin this joke of a guy the eye in a bar I sure as hell don't believe that this hospice nurse couldn't have beat the living crud out of the guy. Oh, almost forgot to mention he uses an inhaler too, that's how sorry a sack of poo he is.

The bad casting and worse delivery of the movie ruined any chance it had of being acceptable cause like I said, the actual story wasn't completely terrible.

So yeah my advice, skip it.
