This drivel is just plain bad. The guy/girl team (ex lovers) running around trying to save the world from aliens are painful to listen to and do not even make out!They talk about their dull past relationship throughout and boy no one cares, no one wants to know ...I think the director was wanting Scully and Mulder but gets ...? Isabella rosellini fortunately for her has her head lopped off in the first Act or so and thus mercifully can take her paycheck and go home early. Former Breakfast clubber Judd (its a dud )Nelson has a role as a bearded guru / nerd that appears suddenly from nowhere and assists the drab couple to fight and prevent the alien invasion , he turns out to be one (no not just another bad actor ) but an alien ( I think?) yep , still with me sounds great doesn't it? Admittedly I fast forwarded thru most of this crud and even that was too slow !!!!! Do not waste your life viewing this rubbish . Go flush a toilet or something.

I wasn't certain if this movie was supposed to be serious or spoof. The actors were certainly hamming it up alright, but surely there should be some obvious gags for a spoof? Sadly I fear that this is a straight attempt at sci-fi.SPOILER How can the critters move so quickly when fighting each other, but s-l-o-w-l-y when fighting our hero. Why did the tiny little explosion kill everything but; the hero, his gf and all the very poorly human hosts? Howcome it took ages for the maggots to hop out of our hero but only a few moments to hop out of all the other hosts and that after he cut his arm to introduce a few drops of blood into the feeding system? Why are all the alien fellas unable to see our large hero "hiding" behind very small things? What did the gf use to crack open the mailbox? Does she carry a wrecking bar in her purse? eyebrow tweezers? The women in my house can't even open a bottle of pop without getting male help.I fell asleep three times watching this movie. Why do I insist on watching movies to the end? Don't bother with this. Even if it is free. Dross = FACT.

Reporter investigates clues left behind the assassin of the mayor of Boston. The clues lead him to the latest drink craze which he soon finds out is being used as the spear head for an alien invasion.Good scifi thriller thats undemanding and familiar. Its the sort of thing that many made for SCIFI (now SYFY) movies aspire to be. Graced with good performances and neat bug-like aliens (though I'm getting tired of everyone using CGI for their effects)this is the sort of thing to curl up with when there isn't anything good on TV. No it will not win any awards and you have seen it before but its well done for what it is.6 out of 10

Infected is set in Boston where the population live in fear, a worldwide plague of unknown origin is widespread. Only one human being left alive know's the horrifying truth, City Hall official Taylor Lambert (Neil Napier) is that man & to prove it to the world he must first assassinate the Mayor & take a sample of his blood which he does in full view of about a hundred people which makes Taylor public enemy number one & every cop in the city is after him. To get the truth out to the masses Taylor contacts newspaper journalist Lisa Wallace (Maxim Roy) for help, knowing he will be shot on sight Taylor hands a vial of the Mayor's blood over to Lisa's ex-boyfriend Ben (Gil Bellows). Together Lisa & Ben have the blood sample analysed & realise that the blood is not of this planet & that they have unwittingly stumbled upon a plan by a bunch of nasty aliens to use Earth as a breeding colony & it's inhabitants as living host's & eventually food for their offspring...This Canadian production was directed by Adam Weissman & I actually watched Infected by mistake as I thought I was going to watch the mutant killer bug film Infested (2002), with only one letter difference it was an easy mistake to make so shut up. Anyway what could have turned into a pleasant surprise ended up as a disaster as Infected is crap, I'm sorry but that's what it boils down to I'm afraid. The script is most at fault here, the first twenty odd minutes isn't too bad to be honest as there's still some mystery behind the sinister events with an assassination, fights, escapes, murder, alien maggots & bad CGI computer effects but it all goes downhill rather quickly thereafter. The film about aliens disguised as humans planning an invasion from within as it were is lifted straight from genre classics like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) & The Thing (1982) & was probably made to cash-in on the far more recent not a genre classic at all The Invasion (2007) with Nicole Kidman & Daniel Craig. The plot is full of holes & didn't work for me at all, why did Taylor have to kill the Mayor to get a blood sample? Stick him with a needle & draw some blood while he was still alive, at least that way Taylor wouldn't have had every cop in the City after him & his face plastered all over the news. There's a big difference between murder & sticking a needle in someone. Also why was Lisa so convinced that the vial had the Mayor's blood in it? There could have been anything in there, Taylor would have had plenty of time to switch the blood for something else so why put so much trust in him & the vial? Despite a worldwide plague that is affecting billions of people the authorities don't have a clue what is causing it or what it is yet after half a day of investigating Lisa & Ben discover the truth mostly with the help of an internet search (which just happens to bring up a website that has all the answers) & a school laboratory! Then there's the one in a billion chance that Ben the only person on Earth along with Lisa who know's about the alien invasion has a one of a kind genetic disease that actually kills the aliens, what are the odds on that? Bit of a coincidence wouldn't you say? There are many plot holes in a really poorly thought out script & after the first twenty odd minutes it all falls apart & becomes very dull.The opportunity for lots of tension & paranoia that is so brilliantly used in The Thing & Invasion of the Body Snatchers is totally absent here, the opportunity for the makers to really crank the tension up is wasted as there's no major twist's & all the bad guy's are really easy to spot since they wear suits & try to look hard & evil. I am not sure if the version I saw was cut but there's not much blood or gore here, there's a few burrowing alien maggots seen & a headless body but not much else. The aliens when finally revealed look like big Cockroaches & while the CGI computer effects aren't as bad as some films out there I would struggle to call them anything approaching good.Although set entirely in Boston this was shot in Montréal in Québec in Canada, the production values are alright but it does have the look of a made-for-telly film. The acting is nothing more than average, the two leads are alright while Isabella Rossellini looks terrible & gets decapitated.Infected is a plot-hole ridden piece of sci-fi junk that is boring & tedious with the only positive aspect the first twenty minutes before all the plot-holes kick in.
