Infestation

I don't quite know where to begin with this one - or what to rate it. Honestly, the film is absolutely appalling - the acting is probably the worst I've ever seen, and I've seen some shockers. The casting seems to have been done by a poorly-entered raffle. The script and dialogue is excruciatingly poor. And while some of the special effects are pretty good, parts are cringeworthy. If a failing first-year film student found a camera, a Soviet-era holiday camp and some am-dram stage props, they'd probably produce this.

But it's hilarious. Whether accidentally or not, this produces more laugh-out-loud moments than most comedies. The characters are so ridiculous and mismatched and their deliveries so poor that they left me so entranced, I found myself forgetting to breathe at several points throughout the film. I was simultaneously willing it to end and praying they'd come up with an extra ten minutes.

If you want a good film, this is certainly not for you, and if I'd spent more than GBP2 on it I'd probably cry. But this is at the very pinnacle of 'so bad it's hilarious', so if you see it in Poundland, you could do a lot worse.

Have to give it a 1 because it truly is terrible... but terrible in a good way?

I too managed 10 minutes of this truly dreadful film. The rest I whizzed through on fast forward stopping here and there to marvel at the very un-special effects and the total absence of any acting ability. I feel my sister who bought the film for me was conned, the film was promoted - Best British independent film of blah, blah, the cover was impressive, looked very professional, it had good reviews from believable sounding sources which were obviously paid for (or faked). I think this is the first DVD I have ever thrown in the trash, other films I don't like I would usually try to find a home for with someone else who might appreciate them but I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy. The film was a total waste of money and the 20 minutes or so watching it. It couldn't even be recycled, so bad for the environment as well. Absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Not surprisingly I haven't seen or heard of any of the actors (if you can call them that!) or the director doing anything else.

Mmmmm... why do I keep doing this? Going to the video-store on Friday evening, and hoping to get my hands on a movie that's worthwhile. Surely this must be the worst movie I've seen in my entire life! I stopped the DVD after 10 minutes, as the complete lack of acting skills and story line was too much horror for me already. What a complete and utter waste of my energy and $4,50! I wouldn't watch this movie again, not even if they offered my a million to watch it! It's absolute 100% rubbish - go and make some real movies guys. We need some more talent in the movie industry, as I'm getting sick and tired of the stuff that's coming out right now.

This film was down right fantastic. it starts very well....does not loose pace....the effects are great and the cinematography is sometimes simply stunning. the music is totally original and fits the film really well...a bit spooky and dark.

it's atmospheric funny and creepy as hell - hard to do ..but they've got it. some of the sets are great - real feel of desolation. the scripting is great and there are lots of clever lines and witty banter. granted some of the acting isn't the best - but who cares! all in all its a great film. characters are believable, script is great, cgi is fabulous, cinematography is gorgeous gritty and creepy... what more could you want

does anyone know of anything else these people have done? LC

Well if you can get past the bad, flashy computer game visuals, the backyard style fight scenes, actors with little or no guidance, having to deliver a script that sucks then this isn't the worst zombie movie you'll have ever seen.

Well that might be a little harsh, despite all those draw backs its probably not the worst zombie movie ever, but its pretty darn bad.

I watched the first 15 mins then flashed through to the middle hoping for a change in effects/better script, no luck and it continued in badness right to the end.

I wouldn't waste your time with this one, especially if you haven't see land of the dead, 28 days later, or sean of the dead all classic successful zombie movies to me.
