Infected (2008)

Don't Believe the Hype

A Masterpiece!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

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

I'm a fan of Gil Bellows' B-movies. Life doesn't have to be so serious! Calm down, people.Then he picked up that giant syringe and... I wince every time I even THINK about that scene.Great creatures in this feature. A fun cast with whom I would not mind having a drink or two.But the syringe! Come ON! It was like in Stephen King's 'The Dead Zone' when the bad guy kills himself right before getting caught by bracing open a pair of scissors then opens his mouth with an audible pop...and then laced his hands behind his head... and then BAM! Skewers himself!But 'Infected' has aliens!!!

This movie is not a great movie by any standard.It is also not a terrible movie, there are some bad parts, aliens are fast sometimes and slow other times being a prime example but it kept me entertained. I knew what I was getting into, and it was not bad for what it was.I was entertained and it kept me on board for its entire runtime. Unlike some other reviewers, I liked that it through us into the thick of things.If there was absolutely nothing else on, I wouldn't mind watching it again.

Campy goofy sci-fi 'conspiracy' story with actors having a good time, aware of what kind of movie they're in. The extras who were coughing and acting sick were a hoot, and matched the style of this low-budget feature. No doubt direct from the SyFy hack machine. But hey -- campy goofy PulpFilx can be fun! It's better then most junk going through the air waves these days. Loved seeing Rossellini. So for just pure pizza fun pop this sci-fi movie and vegg. Good score and decent directing in an old story of aliens trying to breed among us earhlings. Enjoy!

Here we have a reasonable alien invasion/creature feature plot, with amusing allusions to super market tabloids, replete with accomplished players. The CGI is pretty hokey and the science a little outré -- well, can't really complain about that; it is *science* fiction (emphasis on the fiction). There is an acceptable love story; a massive conspiracy; really bad, bad guys -- well, the BEM (that's Bug-Eyed-Monster for you newbies) is, as I said, pretty hokey.I liked the movie. I liked the cast; Bellows is an old acquaintance from "The Agency" as is Miss Rossellini from "Alias." Mr. Schaap makes a consummate villain and Maxim Roy is another of those ubiquitous, lovely Canadians. Judd Nelson again plays like he's stoned. Has he been spending too much time with Robert Downey, Jr.? Is that why they look so much alike?
