Summary: Attack of the Mutant Flies
Review: "Infested" is not poorly made, although the fly effects are far below today's standards. It's just that the movie makes no sense. We never find out why the flies are capable of doing what they do; how do they keep these bodies alive and moving? And why exactly does the villain do this? It's all muddled, but a few tense scenes and some good use of social comment (this is a satire on "The Big Chill" of course), make this a little better than most.

Summary: Big Chill with bugs
Review: A friend dies and all his old friends who have not seen each other in years go to the funeral, then to stay with each other in a remote house. Yes it has already been done. But in the other movie, how many people where then taken over by bugs and given (almost) eternal life? Bugs that evidently absorb their intelligence. Bugs that allow them to fall off a 2nd story roof without injury. Bugs that give them the power to climb that roof with a broken leg that prevented them from doing more than crawl before the bugs entered them. Bugs that allowed them to barely pause when they are impaled with a tire iron. Bugs that allow them to live on, and apparently see well enough to avoid torches swung at them, after decapitation.

The special effects are nothing to rave about and the blood looks painted on, no body to it and it was too bright a shade of red. The story was fairly predictable, especially the final scene. The scene where a guy who carved his own skinless leg with first a knife, then a razor, then dumped hydrogen peroxide on it and barely grimaced was not particularly believable.

Despite all that, I found it all entertaining and worth a N-flix rental :) Would I ever buy it? Heck no, having seen it once I can't imagine watching it again would cause me to have any sudden revelations.

Summary: Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Review: Get out your bottle of RAID folks, cause it 'reviewin' time!

When the death of a man brings a group of friends together, they spend the day at the dead man's wie's house. It's an old house but something is lurking around it...killer CGI bugs!

It seems that our group is being attacked by mutant flies that feast on your insides (literally-you see them eat your heart and everything) and stay there as protection. The only way to kill them is by sunlight or one big bottle of RAID. And the bottle's empty....and the sun is setting soon.....

Yes, it was filmed in my home town. A girl or 2 I know are extras in it. No biggie. The film is good, but the terrible CGI effects make it a waste...almost.

RECCOMENDED TO FANS OF:
Ticks (1993)
The Birds (1963)
Piranha II (1981)

THE CAST
Zach Galligan .....Warren
Lisa Ann Hadley ..Ellen
Daniel Jenkins ....Steven
Amy Jo Johnson ..Jesse

THE MOVIE: 3/4

THE PICTURE QUALITY: 9/10 No grain but in a 1.85:1 non-anamorphic trasfer.

THE AUDIO QUALITY: 8/10 2.0 Stereo surround was fine. Too bad there wasn't a 5.1 to go with all those flies buzzing around.

THE SPECIAL FEATURE: Several trailers

SUBTITLES: English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Korean, Portuguese, Thai.

Summary: Does RAID work on killing DVD's too?
Review: Ha! Ha! Ha! (i'm really laughing, it's not sarcasm!)

Maybe it's because i didn't pay to watch this movie (if that's what you wanna call it..a movie!) and my friend did! Ha! ha! HA!

Okay, i'll try to be serious and tell you what to expect from this piece of garbage film...terrible acting, terrible story, the worst special effects i've seen since the 1980's , and what else...hmm..let me think...oh yes, 1 hour and a half of looking at your tv screen wondering "What the hell is going on?"

That's all for me, if this review doesn't convince you to not watch this movie, then nothing will..ENJOY this stupid bug film and when it's done, watch it again and again and again and again and....

Summary: Can't believe I bought it !!!
Review: I cannot believe I actually bought this DVD after reading everyones ratings ! lol
I live in the uk and ordered it from Amazon.com... I put it on last night and fell asleep after 30 mins (can't believe I lasted that long).
If you want a funny film buy Camp Blood or Killjoy (both are really bad films but contain bad acting), this film has good actors and tries to be dung and funny and it does not work, its just boring.
Sorry to seem a bit of a killjoy myself but wouldn't want to see anyone step into the same trap as me, I do enjoy dung films but I have started to try and improve my collection as I have had enough ribbing from my mates for a bad collection, this is bad !
I have Bloody Murder 2 on order ! Didn't realise it was related to Scream Bloody Murder (how thick of me!), can't wait to watch that !!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great...But it's been done before
Review: Infested-A quirkey film about the death of a friend that brings together a group of collage kids. Unfortunately for them (and fortunately for the viewer) there are strange bugs that crawl into your skin and make you their cocoon until they exit the stomach in gory ways. The film stars Amy Jo Johnson and Zach Galligan. It was filmed in the same town that I live in. The sad part of it is: It had great potential but the obvious references to THE BIG CHILL and ALIEN are too obvious to the film-goers mind and eyes to ignore

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: It's a hilarious premise--what if some insufferable yuppie Big Chill-like characters were attacked by killer flies?--and better than that, the director pulls it off. You don't have to know any of the references to enjoy the movie, although the Psycho + Birds homage is brilliant. It's a fast-paced, fun, sometimes very gross horror film that is even better on a second viewing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: pink rangher
Review: ok guys. not for a second am i scared of this movie. we know kimberly can morph into pink ranger a nd win. but she won't? trying to preserve her secret identity apparently. very unrealistic. im watching it now. this movie is cheap. then again it is very ethnic. the suvtitles have many options, such as spanisch, thai, and chinese. so you could easily watch it with vega, sagat, or chun li, respectively. I was surprised at such feature items and therefore give it two stars, there doesn't seem to be a john character. yet. We miss you binzie come home safely from the peace summit with zack, trini, and tulio. over all a kind of boring movie just like clint howard's "ticks"(co/starrin alfonso ribiero)ans gunnar"leather face" hansen's nature-gone-awry-epic, "mosquitot"Also if you do like this picture may i reccomend something? frogs with jada pinkett-smith.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Trash, Waste Time
Review: Perhaps I might have a high expectation, but correct me if I am wrong, this movie is quite bad. Besides the poor low-tech special effect, those actors and actresses really seem not knowing how to act. The plot doesn't make sense and never explains the cause and effect of the flies. This is a movie will make you shake your head at the end.
