Nice effects though.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

I liked this enough that I'll buy or rent it in the future for more viewing pleasure, so to speak.The score was a mix of things from orchestral to twang, and it lent to a tone of "cautious optimism" throughout. And for me that was one of the standout features of this flick, making it different from the standard-issue zombie movies of late.Others have said all the rest of the positive things I wanted to say, so I'll just add this: it's possible that some of the haters don't want as much fleshing-out as just plain flesh.Take a chance and see what you think.

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.

"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.
