Paul Magne Haakonsen For a zombie movie then "Infected" wasn't particularly memorable or outstanding. That being said, then I will also say, in its defense, that it wasn't the worst of low budget zombie movies that I have seen.As for the story, well it is about as stereotypical as it gets; a group of survivors are trekking through a zombie-infected zone, that turns out to be Los Angeles.How wonderfully delightful that this movie is filmed in locations that doesn't indicate a major city at all. So it was really difficult to believe that this movie was supposed to take place in Los Angeles.The array of characters was also generic for the genre. But I will say that most of the cast actually did pretty good jobs with their given roles, despite the fact that director Filip Maciejewicz seemed to not letting the actors and actresses fully delve into their characters.Personally, I don't enjoy zombies being all hyper-mobile and able to run, so that part of the movie wasn't sitting well with me at all.If you are looking for a proper zombie movie then "Infected" is not the best of choices. But if you enjoy low budget zombie movies then you will most likely get a kick or a bite, all puns intended, out of "Infected".

s0152374 Really just a waste of time. The acting is incredibly stiff, I even found myself prompting the actors with their lines, it's so predictable. The score is incredibly cheesy and obviously put together by a student filmmaker. The timing is horrible, the actors lines being delivered too soon or too late in almost every scene. Glaringly obvious mistakes and bloopers throughout. I was going to point some out but I'd be here all day. The story did not flow, make any sense or engage the audience. I actually found myself rooting for the 'infected' just to kill off some of the more disappointing leads. I honestly think that the positive reviews on here are planted by the friends/relatives of the actors and producers because it's just that bad. Wooden acting. Poor score. Mediocre story. Don't bother.

Justin Haskell When people talk about the "good old days" of film they are referring to one of two periods in film history. The first is the classic era of black and white where lighting and shadows were the draw. The second is the time period of the 1960's- late 1970's when movies had you use your imagination to decode what the camera didn't show you, allowing you to draw your own conclusions to what was happening (Think Texas Chainsaw Massacre). What Infected brings to the table is along the lines of the second period of film. We are told little of the infection and are open to draw the conclusion on whether it was truly man made or a natural event from that was harnessed for mass scale testing. In today's market where the "zombie" genre has been so diluted by over marketing and goreification (Walking Dead, George Romero remakes) that most films of the genre almost forget to focus on the people and the personal aspects of the survivors. What Infection does is almost make the virus an afterthought to bring the perspective of the survivors to the forefront. The survivors do fall into the stereotype roles, soldier, child, medic, shady stranger, fool, but the writing does the roles justice. Each character is written for their role wonderfully and the writing does not stray from these types. In the homeopathic era of the 'monster' film it is always good to see that people remember what the genre should be and are still willing to take risks to keep it as fresh as possible.If I had to give a comparison to other movies I would have to say it falls into the area of the Steven King TV movies where a lot of what was going on was done through imagination and dialogue.

Cinnamon Bernard This film is interesting to me, as I wouldn't expect LA to finally have their take on Zombie like isolation. These strangers do their absolute best at surviving and getting themselves out of this sticky situation.Being with a bunch of strangers, working together to help each other is truly something amazing. Unfortunately, in a case like this, you would hope all of them would live to tell the tale.The leading actor Bo Linton, playing the lead role of Jake Miller, had a rock solid performance and he is a very believable military action hero. Overall, this movie was great, I enjoyed watching it. I see such talent in the cast and production team and look forward to seeing more of them.
