There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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'*\

I started watching this film with my mum and within the first minute we knew it would be bad. We were going to turn it off when we were tricked by the devious title sequence showing half naked hot men hammering and working bellows and doing other attractive manly things. We thought, "Hey, maybe this film won't be so bad after all!" Was there any sign of aforementioned attractive men for the rest of the movie? Of course not. Just bad acting, bad filming, a complete lack of suspense or intrigue, and a REALLY weird soundtrack that didn't fit with what was happening at all. I could go on and on, but I mostly wanted to warn people not to be fooled by the beautiful men. IT'S A CON!

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.

Zombie movies are the flavor of the moment and have been for a while now. At least one film featuring some variation of the walking dead is released a week. However, I wouldn't necessarily call the creatures we see in "Infected" traditional zombies.The "Infected" people in this never die. They get sick from exposure to Lyme disease by being bit by an animal or person who contracted it or ate something it was in, such as contaminated meat. The individuals who are infected don't just lumber around aimlessly. They actually resemble rabid animals, talk, and move rapidly.Although the zombies in "Infected" aren't typical, the set-up of the movie is. We have a group of people trapped in a cabin in the woods. They must fight off the diseased as they attempt to break into the house and eat every living thing inside. The characters end up having to make the choice to kill off their friends and relatives who are bitten and contaminated.Veteran actors Michael Madsen and William Forsythe take their roles more serious than they should for an independent horror film like of this caliber. The two of them give "Infected" a touch of class that elevates it above other zombie movies being released. Forsythe does ham it up a little and adds some campiness to the film. Madsen plays serious throughout the entire thing as if he's targeting an Oscar for his part.Christy Carlson Romano ("Even Stevens") stars as a woman concerned about her grandmother as she gets sicker from the mysterious illness. She's the focus of one of the most spectacularly gruesome parts of the film."Infected" as a whole isn't anything we haven't seen before. Sure, the main cause of the epidemic is unique. That doesn't change the fact that the gory details and the outcome of the movie remain the same as any other living dead flick. It will no doubt thrill viewers who aren't used to watching horror movies as well as genre fans looking for the week's zombie fix.
