Review of Infestation (2005) by Countess N — 21 Oct 2008

I'm all for ambition and creativity when it comes to low-budget affairs. Sometimes the right combination of talent and sheer brazen luck come together and create something wonderful. Sometimes, however, a bunch of people cobble together a few quid and try to pretend they're making a blockbuster.

The frenetic editing, the painful CGI, the cumbersome fighting: they all scream of someone trying desperately to emulate their betters without bringing anything new to the film. As it is, it ends up being a mind-dumbing retread of dozens of other, superior films and in the end, utterly forgettable.

I hope.
