Infected (2013)

What makes it different from others?

Sorry, this movie sucks

just watch it!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I started watching this film with my mum and within the first minute we knew it would be bad. We were going to turn it off when we were tricked by the devious title sequence showing half naked hot men hammering and working bellows and doing other attractive manly things. We thought, "Hey, maybe this film won't be so bad after all!" Was there any sign of aforementioned attractive men for the rest of the movie? Of course not. Just bad acting, bad filming, a complete lack of suspense or intrigue, and a REALLY weird soundtrack that didn't fit with what was happening at all. I could go on and on, but I mostly wanted to warn people not to be fooled by the beautiful men. IT'S A CON!

I liked this enough that I'll buy or rent it in the future for more viewing pleasure, so to speak.The score was a mix of things from orchestral to twang, and it lent to a tone of "cautious optimism" throughout. And for me that was one of the standout features of this flick, making it different from the standard-issue zombie movies of late.Others have said all the rest of the positive things I wanted to say, so I'll just add this: it's possible that some of the haters don't want as much fleshing-out as just plain flesh.Take a chance and see what you think.

There have been a lot of hype over zombie movies the past few years. What with virus movies like 28 days/weeks later,i am legend,resident evil and other films coming about, we get a few stinkers. this doesn't even come close! this is the worst of the worst. The story doesn't really develop at all, yea we get to know about one or two of the characters but we don't really get to know enough to care whether or not they survive this. and in one of the scenes, we don't even know what the hell happens to one of the characters who has to "go pee" because he is anxious about having sex with a hooker! now i only saw this movie for 2 reasons. . . .one being william forsythe because i loved him in the devils rejects. the other is Christie romano. . .i watched her as a kid on the TV show "Even Stevens" and i was disappointed with her hollow acting. At least William delivered a good attempt in acting in this film.all in all. . if you see this movie in the store or anything. . .dont get it. . its a waste of money and space.

"Infected" is the standard virus related zombie flick of modern horror. The film is directed by Glenn Ciano who also wrote the story and screenplay for the movie. It deals with a father and son on a weekend retreat with loved ones at the precipice of a viral outbreak that results in aggressive flesh eaters. It stars Michael Madsen, William Forsythe, Tom DeNucci, Christy Romano and Kristi Lynn. "Infected" is a standard outbreak-zombie story that manages to tell a pretty good, entertaining nightmare scenario despite the fact that it offers nothing new to the genre. The acting is acceptable, although some of the cast have the cred to warrant a much better performance than they gave to this film. The biggest and most exciting aspect of the film for me was the title sequence with hottie-Tom DeNucci given us total porn fantasy in the tool shop. Man I could have watched two hours of him doing that! All that was missing was the cold water splash down after working up such a sweat. That sequence followed by the climax portion of the film where we return back to that swooning moment of the story really pleased me – a lot! (yeah I know-total perv here!) Anyway this doesn't negate the fact that the acting and story was pretty well written and directed by Ciano. The film did have very basic stripped down special effects which at times fail the film but for the most part they work just fine-quite frankly I am just thankful that the movie didn't rely totally on CGI! The character driven moments that are intended to build suspense and emotional investment for the viewer seems to fall flat at moments, coming across more as over-exaggerated. However for the most part the complete result of the films ability to hold my attention was executed. I never really found my thoughts wondering and I never became bored with the story. It is a really decent zombie outbreak film that also does nothing to detract from the genre that may seem over stuffed with the undead at the moment. I enjoyed the film, the action, the zombies, all in all the film is one of the better zombie flicks. I really liked the more stripped down, organic approach to horror that this film used to tell this story. Plus as I stated earlier that beginning sequence and end was hot! Wish there would have been more of that and of Tom DeNucci sexually exploited in the main portion of the movie but hey – it is horror not porn.
