Very best movie i ever watch
Excellent adaptation.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
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!
Being a huge zombie aficionado, I basically devour - no put intended - just everything that includes zombies. Unfortunately the zombie market is swamped with releases that are questionable and probably shouldn't have had seen the light of day.As was the case with "Infected" (aka "Infection Z"). And I assume that the "Infection Z" title is a bad attempt to cash in on the blockbuster "World War Z" movie. But regardless of the reason, then this movie was really not worth the effort.The zombies in the movie were far in between shots, and they weren't actually zombies as in the sense of being shambling and decaying. Well, it does make sense if this is the first stages of decay. But still, with the ridiculous sounds they were making, it was more of a spoof on the zombie genre than it was actually appearing as a proper, serious movie.And as hard as it is to take Michael Madsen seriously, then it came even more difficult given the horrible hat he was wearing just about 99% of the entire movie. That hat was just ridiculous to look at.The most uplifting part about "Infected" was perhaps that William Forsythe was in the movie, but it was hardly anywhere remotely near enough to make it worthwhile suffering through the entire movie. I did manage to stick with the movie to the very end, hoping that there would be just one moment to make it worth it, but there wasn't such an occurrence.The DVD movie I received from Amazon was titled "Infection Z" and it had a very apocalyptic image of a metropolis in ruin and flames on the back cover. This was the worst kind of misleading imagery ever. Because the entire movie takes places at an isolated homestead somewhere out in a forest in the middle of nowhere.What can I say about "Infected"? Well, stay well clear of it, or you might be infected with a bad case of boredom.
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!
I can't believe all these actors agreed to make this movie. Everything is awful: acting, story, effects. Jokes are bad too. Story goes to nowhere. From the first ten minutes you can say how it will end. Director tried to attract our attention with the help of Michael Madsen(and it kinda worked). Oh, and one more thing: zombies look very sick, even for them. I hope people won't be able to watch this movie and damage their brains.P.SComparing this movie with other recent low-budget movies, I can say that it's one of the worst horror film in years.
