Review of Infestation

Infestation (2020)
2/10
Terrible Acting and No Plot Resolution
18 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
So reading other reviews and the summary, I guess there's supposed to be another part to this? But that's not at all implied in the film I saw.

I'm all for independent, low budget movies and this one had an interesting premise but unfortunately it did not deliver. I can handle bad acting if there's a good plot, and crappy plots if there's decent acting. This was bad on both counts.

For the plot, there's never any real explanation as to what is going on but basically it's just Invasion of the Body Snatchers but at a radio station instead of a military base.

The acting though is what made it nearly unwatchable. They seem to subscribe to the school of thought that the only way to show fear is to hyperventilate. Seriously, the last twenty minutes or so are nothing but the main character wandering around breathing like she just hiked Mt. Everest.

The music did not fit the tone of the film, to the point of being distracting. All of this combined to leave me feeling physically aggravated while watching it. Not how I want a movie to make me feel.
