Review of Infestation (2009) by Laura F — 10 Nov 2015

A pretty fun action / horror / comedy movie.

I started watching it with 0 expectations, imagining it would be just another "Asylum / SyFy" type of movie, but got positively surprised.

- The characters are pretty likable - you actually root FOR them, instead of against them as (at least I do) in most other "modern horror" films. They also don't act stupid - no "lets split up to cover more ground" or other bs like that;.

- It doesn't try to shove a "bogus pseudo-science" down our throats - you won't get a lot of explanations, but while watching it you simply won't care much about those anyways;.

- It manages to mix action, horror and humor in a successful way, not letting one spoil the others - the movie doesn't take itself too seriously and neither expect us to do that;.

- The actors are pretty convincing and in general the characters don't fall in the usual clichés;.

- The special effects / creatures are pretty ok - better than the ones you see in most movies like this.

The only part that bugged me (no pun intended) was the ending, but I don't think it stops you from enjoying the movie.

Summing up, Infestation is a pretty entertaining movie for horror flick fans.
