Infested - A Invasão

This film is a catastrophe. It is amazing that some one actually created and produced this mix-up-crap of film. This movie has almost no dialogue, lost any sense of humuor and The whole point of the movie is missing. In addition the act in this movie are so awful that it goes beyond my imagination.

I really hope that every copy of this film will be eradicated in a not so distant future and that John Olsen is fired because of this horrible movie

Warning: Do not try to buy or borrow this movie. You will waste priceless time on it!!!!!!!!

"Infested" tries to do too much, and derails itself in the process. It's main crime is a dependence on easy option, post-modern references to other films to entertain Generation X video renters. This gets tired very quickly and soon takes on the air of "rip-off" rather than "homage". It intends a kitsch "so bad its good" appeal, but ends up just being bad.

There is some good acting to be found however, from actors who clearly got the joke and entered into the spirit of the affair. It's not enough though - shoddy direction, lazy camerawork and an overall atmosphere of "naffness" are too strong to be overcome.

Also, as in "Night of the Lepus", the monster animals just aren't a frightening concept at all. Flies! What a stupid idea! Not even wasps or bees, but flies. I'm sure I'm not alone in having never shivered at the thought of a blue-bottle... It also feels like a lame monster was chosen as some kind of joke, but it's about as funny as it is scary.

I'm afraid, "Infested" fails to become a "beer-and-a-joint-laugh-at-the-lame-film" experience. I think it tries too hard. It suffers from the same problem as Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol.1" in that you just end up wishing you'd watched one of the films it rips off instead.

Amy Jo Johnson, the pink ranger herself and Zack Galligan of Gremlins and Waxwork fame, both put in appearances in this flick. When I see a movie poster with absolutely none of the main characters on it, there are only two explanations. Either the filmmakers are being secretive and hip, or the movie itself was hastily thrown together and they couldn't get their actors to show up for a photo shoot after it wrapped. This would be the latter. There isn't much to say about this film, really bad CGI vampiric bugs show up, due to some poorly explained government back-story. Stupid people do stupid things and don't hang around for a sequel. The bugs apparently fly into a human body, breed and control the carcass as a zombie to stay out of the sun. I would love an explanation as to how these bugs are capable of re-animating the dead. I have never seen such completely nonthreatening zombies. I do recommend a watch however, it was fun to see Zack Galligan doing his B-movie thing, and yes Amy Jo does have a rather lengthy shower scene, but sorry guys, the childhood fantasy of seeing her in the raw goes unfulfilled. Watch it with friends in the mood to laugh, but for a scare, look elsewhere.

This movie is fantastic. With the endless straight to video Creature Features, from the amazing (Shark Attack 3) to the lame

(Sasquatch) we've now entered the new b-movie generation. Sure, we don't have drive ins, but that ain't stopping filmmakers from making some of the greatest b-flicks since the 70s, and leading the pack so far is Infested. Smart, funny and never boring, it's shocking that this was not even considered for a theatrical release when junk like Cabin Fever is gaining a cult audience. On the bright side though, straight to video is not such a bad

place to be nowadays. So, call up your thirty something friends, make popcorn and you can all sit back and enjoy the masterpiece Infested. Then kill them all.

This must be one of the most stupid and pointless movies I've ever seen. ok, so I figured that it wouldn't ever become a classic but still... there are limits. Not terrible bad actors but a horrible script and lousy directing.

Accually some of the special effects are rather good, but only the gory ones. Special effect showing the bugs looks like trash....

avoid at all costs 2/10
