Great entertainment. Good characters. Good comedy-horror of 1980's fashion. Zombie film meets the Mist. Break out the popcorn for fun pointless entertainment. Movie is also a good one to watch stoned. And yes, the blonde shows them off. If you liked Zombieland, give this one a try and try not to reason it too hard.

A pleasant surprise for all the sci-fi/horror genre fans. It's a solid little movie that has the big advantage of not taking itself too seriously while delivering the goods through a good script, many nice touches and some good plot twists.The predictable and low-budget-showing finale doesn't detract from enjoying this funny and creepy enough piece that enjoys itself remembering the old day's creature features (Tarantula and Them! come to mind).Surely worth a relaxed watch with some drinks and snacks. A few steps below Shaun of the dead but kind of a similar vive. If you are a fan of the genre, don't miss it. If not, you will probably find it entertaining enough.

Well guys and galls of the USA I only found this totally fun monster flick in the bargain shelves at the local HMV store here in sunny Brighton UK by accident.Nothing like this gets to a cinema here anymore. We have the oldest cinema in the UK here in Brighton. They show mostly the best movies from abroad. The two big chains have so far come a cropper with this summers big releases from the USA. Anything with Green in the title died within a week.Thor which I saw and really liked did OK.Pirates drowned, one sequel two many,X Men failed to sore and Transformers has just opened with crap reviews,and it's 2 and half hours long.The other problem here is 3D. The cost in your wallet is awful plus the quality of projection to site is crap. Thor for instance did not need any gimmick to show a fun and well made summer movie. Its the small stuff that's putting bums on seats here, Bridesmaids a total hoot and the rotten sequel to last years Hangover. Back to Infestation. Laugh out loud movie , cracking good monsters and Twin Peak,s Ray Wise. This should of been in a multiplex near you. The good stuff just doesn't get there anymore.

Anaconda gave us a giant snake. Lake Placid crocodiles. Tremors gave us giant underground worms. Boa Vs Cobra gave us ludicrous giant snakes. King Kong made us afraid of CGI monkeys. Deep Blue Sea gave us giant smart sharks. Arachnophobia gave us millions of spiders.Infestation gives us giant bugs who have taken over the world, or at least part of it.After some meaningless guff everyone who is gonna be in the film from here wakes up from an unexplained coma to find that the world has been overrun by giant bugs.Most of our "heroes" awaken in an office building, where they are joined by other similarly confused punters. They decide to go outside...Bad idea.Plan 2 sees them joining up to head across town to the home of one of the characters, a guy named Cooper whose Dad is a crazed war veteran with an underground bunker where they should be safe.Along the way the group end up as a 5-some, but really it is Cooper as the slacker office idiot and the daughter of his ex-boss (both because he was fired and because she was eaten) Sarah who matter, as from the start they are destined to be together. Sorry "the rest", you are all bug food!Sarah is taken by the bugs just before they reach Cooper's pad, meaning he must save her before he turns on the lave lamp and throws all his best moves at her in his stale smelling bedroom where the walls are covered in posters (I'm just guessing he is like every other early 20s guy who still lives with his parents), so it is on to the nest!Look this is a nice little low budget effort so the plot doesn't matter once you've read the People Vs Giant Bugs bit. There are some creative creature effects, most notably the "hybrid" creatures that seem to use unwilling humans as hosts. Being a low budget flick it is also good to see that they covered some of the bare minimum elements that such a film requires.Those include:* - Bad jokes.* - Boobies.* - Violence.* - Funny and gross creatures.I liked the ending too, all in all this is an ideal mid week rental. You don't have to think, your missus will shriek a couple times without ever being scared or too grossed out, and it doesn't really matter if she falls asleep half way through. It also tops out at under 90 minutes.Final Rating - 5.5 / 10. No-one behind this is walking up the steps to get an Oscar, but a creative genre piece that achieves its limited goals.
