BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

suite92 Louis and son Andrew attempt some bonding centered around deer hunting. Dr. Dennehy is the local sawbones. He's doing the same thing with his son Seth.Things start to go to hell after one of Dennehey's patients (a friend's grandmother) bites him; the wound starts getting nasty. Seth and Andrew bond over being embarrassed by their respective fathers, and over loving illegal firearms.After granny goes missing, Louis, Dennehey, Andrew, and Kelly (the granddaughter) go looking for her. The other youngsters get plowed, and Seth gets attacked by granny.Things go downhill from there.Will the authorities arrive and fix all this viral outbreak?-----Scores------Cinematography: 5/10 Not so good. There is too much fuzzy focus and failures with zooming. Camera rotation I can always do without. Zombie effects were on the poor side.Sound: 3/10 The actors were usually miked OK, but not always. The score/incidental sound varied between irrelevant to counterproductive.Acting: 2/10 I've seen Michael Madsen give wonderful performances in several movies, but this was not one of them. William Forsythe was a bit better (accounting for the two points). The lesser players were just horrible. Tracey Sheldon was pneumatic and decorative, but did not deliver lines well.Screenplay: 0/10 Talking zombies? Thinking zombies? A zombie who wins an argument with a normal healthy human being? Zombies having telephone calls about uncashed checks and child custody? --- Horrible dialog. Little internal logic. A new Lyme disease that accounts for zombie behaviour? I doubt it.

Paige Simpson 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.

siderite There are the boring movies, there are the bad movies, this is bad and boring at the same time. And believe me, after watching fan made Star Trek series this week, I know about bad acting. This was worse.You have to know when Michael Madsen gets a role in anything these days that you are not going to like it, but I had some hopes for William Forsythe. They both act their usual old tough routine, only without any pathos or interest. The special effects are what you and I would make in a garage, the dialog and script in general are abysmal. I don't know how to bring it to you: there is nothing in this film that was even remotely average. Everything was bad. And not that funny bad that you can laugh at while drinking a beer, but that boring life sucking bad that one should to the utmost to avoid.So bottom line: run away from this. If you see it on someone's harddrive, delete it, if you see it on a movie shelf, accidentally set it on fire. It will save lives!

ASouthernHorrorFan "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.
