Too much of everything

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

If you can survive the first half hour, you'll probably be able to endure the balance of this dreadful cinematic effort. After a quite entertaining opening few action minutes and an irate Daniel Baldwin (yecchhh), the flick settles down into what appears to be a radio programme, with people just sitting around talking about nothing. These are people you will have zero empathy with -- vacant souls with no redeeming qualities. The gal "star" of this film has a coughing fit at one point which almost equals those of Hillary Clinton: this was a high point, believe it or not. The music! Oh! The music in this movie is ridiculous. Whoever chose it or created it needs to go back to school, along with all the actors and actresses, the scriptwriter, the director... well, you get the idea! As for the "lovemaking scene", dear dear me, how amateurish, how embarrassing, how laughable, ooh, aah, mmm... HA HA HA ! GIVE THIS A MISS!

I cannot believe I wasted my time watching this movie. The only scary part of this movie was realizing that I actually paid to see it. The script is child like, the direction is not even there, and which Baldwin is this, oh yeah the one they kept locked up in the basement. About two minutes into the movie I actually wanted to just gouge my eyes out, but I thought it has to get better I mean it could not get any worse. I was really wrong in these lines of thinking, I read the previous reviews on here and thought this might not be a bad movie. These reviews must be relatives of someone involved in the film because no competent person could possibly find anything thrilling about this film. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!!

A mixed bag of students and poor people sign up to be test subjects for a new drug with the promise of $1000 for their time. Of course it turns out that it's the army secretly looking to test their latest bio weapon on the unsuspecting volunteers. For the first 30 minutes hardly anything happens as we follow our hapless lovers go about their dull lives. When we finally get the volunteers all in one place they are all dosed with the gas (strangely one by one rather than all together), which wastes away some more screen time. Then in for next 50 minutes or so there's lots of running around seemingly endless corridors with the victims screaming and shouting at each other as the gas slowly takes effect. Oh, and the "twist" is that two of the group have unknowingly been given a vaccine which is also under test and may or may not work. A fairly poor execution of a story that's been told many times before. Watch 28 Days Later instead

Horror films are all the rage this year (World War Z, Insidious: Chapter 2, Carrie...) and After Effect is finally one worth watching. I hate horror movies, they give me awful headaches and I don't see the point of them. As soon as After Effect started, I changed my mind.If you are looking for a movie that will leave you on the edge of your seat the whole time, this is that movie!!! Direction and acting are great, story line is very creative and still believable, hate those movies with ideas from left field. Definitely do not take your kids to see it, it was a little intense for a grown man like me but at the same time I wanted to see more. Hope they make a sequel the writing was creative and would love to see more from this writer.The film is a visual masterpiece. Kirk Anderson gives an absolutely stunning performance, acting to absolutely nothing, yet always being right on the spot. If you get a chance to see After Effect, go for it. David McElroy has outdone himself with this film, it's definitely a must see for horror film lovers.
