Infection: The Invasion Begins (2011) Reviews

• The Invasion Begins? Please don't tell me they're planning on making more of this garbage.

  I honestly can't believe that this managed to get released at all, straight to DVD or otherwise. I think that they spent the entire budget on the cover art for the movie, which could easily fool you into wasting 95 minutes of your life that you can never have back, as it did to me. There acting is sub-par, the makeup is horrendous, there are huge holes and incongruencies in the story, the character interaction is not believable, strained, and at times nonsensical, and the dialogue is badly written and badly delivered. The real icing on the cake are the effects. I think that I could have done better with a couple of hours and some kind of freeware program. Watcher beware. If you are a fan of really, really terrible movies, still watch with extreme caution. Everyone else avoid at all costs. F's all around.

• I've seen worse, just can't remember when.

  Saying this movie is awful is like saying the sinking of the Titanic was a minor maritime mishap. It could have been worse, it could have been raining. Wait a sec, strike that, at one point it was. It's been done before and done much better. The acting right from the beginning was unbelievable including how they used high-school quality make-up tricks to "age" one of the actresses. The main character did a passable job of acting although the screenwriter needs to be shot for some of the downright stupid dialogue. Right from the beginning of the "invasion" it becomes unbelievable in the extreme. The first victim is standing there and all of a sudden this thing starts to crawl up his pant-leg and he just stands there shrugs his shoulders? Really? REALLY? Don't you think he'd be jumping back or brushing at his body or showing SOME kind of reaction? I really hope that the budget for this was in the 10's of thousands of dollars and not above that because they surely didn't make a flick that was much more expensive than that. Overall, please give it a pass because it really is not worth your time to waste watching it.

• Whoa..Shiver (1975) gone wrong....

  I do not want repeat the same as the other before, but this movies is as bad as a movie can get. I still have no clue, how some movies get even the green light,to be made. This movie is less than a B movie, is an absolute insult to the entire cinema industry. The acting is appalling, the lines are just lame and short, there is not really a real dialogue, rather exclamations, people sounds artificial and raw, i wonder did any of these actors ever put their feet inside an acting school?? I would really recommend you don't bother when seeing the title of this movie, cuz you will feel cheated if you watch it, what the heck was that? What they were thinking? I do not even go to the "special" effects or make up, cuz there is nothing worth saying..The other reviewers spot on. If there was a rating marked 0 it would still be a high number for such crap. I am just gutted. It just reminded me Shiver (1975) with Barbara Steele gone incredibly wrong....

• This is a piece of crap, Here is my ranting.

  I saw this on Netflix thinking "This might be good". Damn I was wrong. no flesh eating. Hell they couldn't afford real fire. The parasites were really cheap. Also they couldn't afford side walks or buildings. They were poorly made because of the cheap graphics. Avoid this film at all cost. Its like having the flu and you want it to go away. There wasn't any rating lower than 1,Really I give this film a -6 out of 10. The acting out of 10 would be a -2. If you want a cheap but good movie,don't look here. I could come up with a better story. I bet $20 that some drunk monkeys could come up with a better story. This movie is worse than Asylum films and they suck.

• yes, it's truly an awful bit of film-making

  Hard to believe that anyone was actually willing to finance this piece of garbage. The film is hard to describe it's so bad, and I don't mean fun bad...just bad. Here's the story: a meteor falls from the sky and is discovered just outside a small town. Soon the brain-dead sheriff and some local idiots discover it's actually full of little worm-like pieces of cardboard that take over people's minds and personalities. In other words, not an original idea in this whole fiasco of a film. What's worse every single effect in the film is CGI, and of the most amateur quality imaginable. As for the acting, there's a special 15 minute video included on the DVD which should have been titled "The making of a piece of crap", in which all the actors admit they've had no acting experience and what a thrill it was to have the chance. Their last, I'm sure. I admit, I couldn't actually watch the film, I fast-forwarded through most of it. AWFUL!
