Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

shawnblackman A group of men get together to hunt in the woods at the same time a virus outbreak occurs turning people into flesh eating zombies.Michael Madsen stars in this one and he is in this thing the whole time which is rare for him. William Forsythe is in this as well and he looks like he could be playing a Civil War hero with his hair. When you got both of them talking to each other you wonder whose throat has the most frogs stuck in them. You want them both to clear their throats I mean they are drinking enough alcohol on screen to do the job.The film is just awful right from the acting to the wonderful makeup. Zombie makeup was a white foundation with messy red lipstick. They do a bad Night Of The Living Dead and then in the last ten minutes they cram three seasons of The Walking Dead, The Last Man On Earth and they even take a Mad Max spin.I think this film infected my comp'*\

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.

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.

Nathan Goodman I have never felt the need to leave a review before but this is probably the worst film I have ever seen. The initial premise comes across as this could be OK, a bit cliché'd but an attempt to add a bit of originality to the origin of the outbreak.The effects are poor which wouldn't necessarily be bad but add the strange musical interludes which seem like an attempt to build romantic intrigue, throw in a new cliché every 5 minutes or so and you end up with a film that goes downhill fast and stays there.The final nail in the coffin of this awful film is to finish it off with a narrative that makes it feel like you have just finished watching a T.V. pilot.Some bad films are funny because they are bad, this one isn't, it's just bad.
