Stylish but barely mediocre overall

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

INFESTED is a low budget B-movie chock-full of absolutely appalling CGI effects of swarming flies and the likes, but overall it's a fun little movie that will appeal to fans of the genre. The slim storyline involves a group of buddies (thankfully adults rather than teenagers, for a change) who meet up for a few beers at a remote house in the countryside. Unfortunately for them, a swarm of killer flies is in the area, turning victims into zombies in a bid to take over the human race.This film is ridiculous as it sounds, which is no mean feat, but it's also fast paced and frequently amusing. It's a gory little number with all manner of bodily dismemberment to recommend it, and aside from those godawful CGI flies the special effects are pretty cool. If you're not impressed by them, you'll be laughing at them at the very least.The acting is poor and the characters are one-dimensional, but then you'd expect that from a B-movie like this. Of the cast, only Zach Galligan (GREMLINS) is familiar, and he's the star of centrepiece icky moment in a bathroom which is guaranteed to stir the stomachs of all but the most hardened horror fans. For cheesy, grisly B-movie fun along the likes of TICKS or MOSQUITO, INFESTED is the place to go.

A group of friends reunites in the country for the funeral of their old friend Steven, who committed suicide. After the services, they decide to spend together the weekend in the cottage of Carl (Tuc Watkins) at the seaside recalling their best moments. While getting tanned at the beach, the voluptuous Mindy (Nahanni Johnstone) is attacked by flies that invade her body through her mouth and possess her brain. When Carl meets her, she transmits the bugs to him, spreading the invasion of bodies. The survivors are trapped in the house and fight to survive."Infested" is one of those B (or Z) movies that the viewer must expect flaws and clichés in the screenplay, bad special effects, breasts and half-naked women, screams and funny (or ridiculous) situations. In this regard, this trash movie does not disappoint. The story is silly and predictable, but I have seen flicks worse and worse than "Infested". The speech of Father Morning is hilarious and one of the best moments of the story but the insane motive of Steven gives a weak conclusion to the plot. Considering that I bough this DVD for about US$ 3.00, I did not dislike this film. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Infested – A Invasão" ("Infested – The Invasion")

I have a small, but growing collection of bad films. Clunkers like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "The Brainiac" can provide a measure of goofy entertainment if you're in the right mood and have consumed enough beer.Unfortunately, this movie doesn't qualify for inclusion in that illustrious category. The one good point is a mostly attractive young cast. The story, however, is one of the stupidest I've ever seen, with pathetic special effects, garish music and a wretched script. No tension is built up as the characters are destroyed one by one. Rather, each one's demise generates either raucous laughter or exasperated groans.If you want any advice on whether or not to see this, here it is: "Run, don't walk, away." Rating: 1/10

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.
