Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

BA_Harrison Irresponsible slacker Cooper (Chris Marquette) is in the process of getting fired from his crappy job when a strange noise renders him unconscious. Waking up several days later, wrapped in webbing, he frees himself only to discover that giant insects have cocooned everyone for miles around, storing them for food. After freeing several other immobilised individuals, including his boss's sexy daughter Sara (Brooke Nevin), Cooper and company set out to locate their nearest and dearest.Oversized insects have been terrorising the world of movies ever since the '50s; Infestation doesn't offer anything particularly new to the genre, warming up a hodge-podge of ingredients borrowed from many a big bug movie (Starship Troopers and Eight Legged Freaks automatically spring to mind).The resultant narrative is a bit of a mess, hindered by awkward editing, pointless exchanges of dialogue that affect the pacing, and plot threads which end abruptly; however, plenty of huge chitinous creatures (including several cool human/insect hybrids), a likable cast, a smattering of gore, and even a spot of gratuitous female nudity (courtesy of blonde weather girl Cindy, played by Kinsey Packard) ensure that Infestation proves to be a reasonably enjoyable slice of B-movie nonsense nonetheless.

c-kattig When I have tried to seen this movie, I was asking myself if it is a joke. It seems to be a comedy but for me, it is a very bad comedy. I have tried hardly to see whole of the movie but it was impossible. Characters played too bad. The story have not any real senses. Insects do not seem at all to be "real".According to me, it is a wasting time to see the movie. There are a lot of films which are better of this one.If I have to describe this movie in one word, I would say: "disappointement".

Tonci Pivac I hadn't heard anything about this film before I saw it. This made for quite an interesting viewing experience. Set in a town somewhere in America, Cooper, a bit of a waster, is about to be fired from his job when a piercing noise knocks everyone out…Cooper wakes up to find himself covered in some kind of white webbing. He pulls it off himself only to be confronted by a three foot long insect that immediately attacks him. Having fought several of these bugs off, he goes and finds his boss, Maureen, who is disorientated. They figure out they have been out for several days and Maureen suddenly remembers her daughter, Sara, was outside in a car. Cooper goes outside to get her but Maureen follows and is crying out when she is suddenly taken away by a flying bug. Cooper and Sara make it to a diner and, having woken everyone up there, decide to go to his father's house, about a days' walk away. They also discover that the bugs can't see, they only react to sound, so it's very important to stay quiet. The group consists of Cooper, Sara, Cindy (a weather girl), Hugo & Albert (father & son) and Leechee (a student). The set off and make it to another building before nightfall. Cooper makes it no secret he's interested in Sara, but she rebuffs his attentions. They decide to capture one of the bugs and test its venom. Leechee does the test and they find it's mostly a sedative. The next morning they move on but Leechee stays behind to wake more people and study the bugs further. The journey is dangerous and more revelations are to be made, but I'll stop here, don't want to give too much away!I was quite surprised, for a B-movie type film, it's pretty well made. The effects, although not the best, aren't all that bad. The dialogue could have done with a bit more work, but there were one or two good one-liners in there. Decent performances from all of the main cast, honourable mentions go to Chris Marquette as Cooper, Brooke Nevin as Sara, Kinsey Packard as Cindy, E. Quincy Sloan as Hugo, Wesley Thompson as Albert, Linda Park as Leechee and Ray Wise as Ethan (he had the best comedy lines).This wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't great either. I think the main problem was I didn't particularly like Cooper at the beginning, he grew on me as the film progressed, but I still didn't find him particularly likable. Also, the big fight at the end was a bit of a let down. So, over all, it's got a few laughs, the CGI is pretty good but it has some poor effects towards the end. Not bad, but not great.

slayrrr666 "Infestation" is a fairly enjoyable and entertaining Sci-Fi Channel Creature Feature.**SPOILERS**Awakening from a cocoon imprisonment, Cooper, (Christopher Marquette) and Sarah, (Brooke Nevin) finds themselves among other survivors Cindy, (Kinsey Packard) Hugo, (E. Quincy Sloan) and Albert, (Wesley Thompson) as the only people still alive after an unknown attack from an unknown source. Trying to get a bearing on things, they find that a race of gigantic alien bugs are responsible for attacking them and putting them into the constrictive webbing that they were found in. Determined to fight back and end their presence here, they try to find whatever they can to fight back but manage to keep hitting stumbling blocks along the way, and finally getting back on track, the group encounters the bugs one last time to finally end it once and for all.The Good News: There's a few really good parts to this one that actually help it quite well. One of the best features is that there's a ton of action scenes within that are incredibly fun and entertaining to go through and make this one an entertaining film. The film begins with the big action scene within the office building, as the general confusion of the situation is played off nicely as the bugs are shown right off the bat chasing and hunting down the cast, something that is a lot of fun and quite creepy due to the layout of the office providing excellent hiding spaces and jump opportunities, plus the hand-to-hand combat against the bugs is a lot of fun. Other good scenes include the first escape attempt, where the bugs swarm down over the group and causing massive damage involving a moving truck and citizens nearby, which is a lot of fun and provides some great action based on that encounter. A swarming scene out in the open, when the bugs attack them at a bridge overpass is another standout scene, gathering a lot of big action scenes and concluding with a big surprise that sets the rest of the film's actions into motion quite nicely. Even more encounters later on, from a series of encounters at houses to scenes in the establishments left after the bugs' conquest, there's no real shortage of action once the film decides to inject them into the frame, giving off a lot of fun moments that are enjoyable all the way around. This one also decides to throw in some rather good parts in the beginning about the confusion over the events, since that would be a common theme in the situation in real-life and this one plays it off exactly like it should be done, with the survivors trying to actually figure out what happened. The different theories are plausible, the rationale is fine and there's definitely a sense that it's something which would be thought of in the situation, and it feels really good. Another plus is the bug's design, which is quite fun and definitely gives them a purpose for being in a horror film, and they're able to do a lot that drives the film's action forward nicely. There's also some nice deaths in here, mainly through stabbing done by the bugs, but a few violent gunshot-riddled bodies and one who is dropped from a great height onto a building then to the ground are a big plus as well. The film's best part is the finale in the hive, which has a lot going for it. One is the incredibly suspenseful nature of it, being in an unfamiliar location and being completely unsure of what's going on or will happen, and it's a fantastic tool to use. The action is fast, fun and furious, getting a lot accomplished in the process and the inherent suspense in the situation is good, making for a great finale to a fun film. These here are all that help this one.The Bad News: There really isn't a whole lot with this one that doesn't really work. The biggest flaw here is the complete lack of anything regarding knowledge of the bugs. They are a complete mystery in this one, including where they come from, what the purpose is or what they can actually do. This one makes a brief comment about them being extraterrestrial in origin, but that is never confirmed and really only agreed to based on lack of evidence otherwise. It makes sense, but nothing is ever confirmed about them, or what they actually plan to do other than wrap humanity up in cocoons. That is the cause for stopping them in here, nothing about what they plan to do after that, or even how they got their powers. That is merely given in a flashback where we see that they did succumb to something, but that is never expanded upon, and in the end, the bugs are viewed as complete unknowns. The only other flaw in this is the fact that the middle segment is pretty bereft of action scenes, mainly consisting of way too many detours for the group to embark on that could've used that time to better use. The trip to the police station and being caught by the locals there is entirely stupid and serves no purpose, with the action being lame to boot, and the trek down to all the houses results in wasted time. These end up keeping the action down in that segment of the film and hold the momentum down that gathered from the beginning. These here are the film's only real flaws.The Final Verdict: Not a whole lot really wrong with this one, and it's actually fairly entertaining for what it is, which is certainly a big shock. Really give this one a shot if you're into these kinds of Sci-Fi Channel Creature Features or have an affinity for giant bug movies, while those who aren't should heed caution.Rated R: Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity
