Infection (2005)
3/10
Camera on a car movie

So the whole point of this movie was that we're watching it being filmed from a police car camera. It might be one unbroken shot, or maybe several very long ones, which would have required some careful staging. But even if you thought the technique was clever, there really isn't much to the story to make it worth sitting through. Like other reviewers, I found it IMPOSSIBLE to get through this without fast forwarding. There were many long stretches that felt very repetitive. It didn't bother me so much that this took place at night in the woods, but if the filmmakers really wanted to make an impression, they should have given us more to care about. Put something interesting in there to look at, give us some memorable moments. The story was about an alien invasion. This was played out by having people walking around like zombies and spreading the infection/virus by putting their mouths to the next victim's ear. I barely remember how this movie ended because I had so little interest by the time it came. I think this movie needed a few more good ideas to have been worth making.
