Infection (2005)
1/10
It is so hard to call this a movie.

I am still laughing, just because I wasted twenty minutes watching this before coming to IMDb to rate it.

As a filmmaker myself, I can't even imagine sitting through watching Infection at a free film festival.

I am laughing in part because it's the only film I have ever seen with an IMDb credit that has a single non-stop camera without more than a handful of cuts.

If there is ever an award for worst film, this could be the winner.

The film begins with five or six minutes of on screen text dialog to set things up. Again, I have never seen a feature film begin with page after page of text set-up.

The first footage that appears, looks like it is filmed on a PXL 2000 Fisher Price Camera and tinted in green, the acting is poor and it has a 1970's feel about it. (Its supposedly 2006)

The viewer is then treated to a unfathomable amount of landscape and night driving on a road, illuminate with only headlights, and presented in a drivers point of view. This continues for 15 minutes an ADR (Audio Dialogue Replacement) of the main character (who you do not see), engages in a conversation with a supposed dispatch person who eventually appears in a In-Picture framing.

At this point in the film, you might feel like shooting yourself in the head to escape the misery, but instead, you will continue watching this barbaric deviancy in hopes of a scene change; you just get more of the same.

Eventually the vehicle comes to a stop, you get to see the main character, view horrible acting with horrible storyline dialog until he returns to the vehicle in search of more awful characters to annoy you with.

Suddenly you will finally realize, this film just wasted a significant period of your existence on planet earth and hit the stop button.

Obviously, the writer, producer and director have never attended film school. All the rules they teach in filmmaking level A are broken in the first 5 minutes of the set-up text.

That being said, despite being the worst film ever credited and featured on IMDb, there is still hope for anyone who can make a feature film, get it into a festival, have it on DVD, etc.

It may not be much hope, but everyone has to start somewhere.
