Infected aka Infection Z is a 2013 American science fiction horror feature film about a blood virus that infects a small group of hunters. A father and son bonding trip soon becomes a fight for survival…

Directed by Glenn Ciano (Inkubus) from a screenplay co-written with Robert Rotondo Jr., the Woodhaven Production Company movie stars Michael Madsen, William Forsythe, Christy Carlson Romano and Tom DeNucci.

Reviews [click links to read more]:

” …worse than the script’s unoriginality is the ambling pace it takes on the path of boredom.  Infected had enough of a budget to draw two recognizable faces, but the production is built around an uninteresting story and the inability to make even a run-of-the-mill zombie movie tolerable.” Culture Crypt

“There are some good moments here but they are very few and far between. Both Madsen and Forsythe have a lot of talent to offer but it was either outright ignored or, perhaps more likely, they just didn’t care. Neither should you.” More Brains

” …Infection Z is a bad, boring, confusing film that is just not worth watching, not even for Madsen and Forsythe who are just weird here. ‘Humourous’ interludes, terrible special effects, and a nonsensical plot combine to earn Infection Z a place in my Top 10 worst zombie films of all time.” The Rotting Zombie

“It’s a completely unnecessary genre exercise, narrated with the most numbin’ basic shots and the worst, most puzzlin’ background music a film director could allow. It’s not out of order to say that I’ve seen more competent film school projects. Character exposition is flimsy and the story is long lost through its limp execution.” Sayang Wayang

Plot:

A secret organization, The Cloth, has been formed by the Catholic Church to counteract the rising number of cases of demonic possessions across the country.

A young godless man named Jason (Kyler Willett) is recruited into The Cloth in order to prepare a new generation with the tools needed to perform exorcisms on the damned and stop the rise of the ultimate evil, Beelzebub…

Reviews [click links to read more]:

“It’s good to see Eric Roberts again. But it’s a shame that he and Danny Trejo are on the cover (above) but only have a cameo in the movie. I don’t like that kind of entrapment. That’s a no-no. The cover looks cool by the way. But the movie isn’t.” 5 Second Review

“Next time I’d advise Justin to get a script editor in to check over the script before he starts shooting, get someone else to edit the film for him, and also get additional help to do second unit stuff like the fight choreography, which is really poor here. Oh, and save up some money for the special effects, which are sub-par Lawnmower Man here.” Blueprint: Review

“Somewhere along the line, The Cloth may have started with a decent idea and good intentions.  But it did not have the production tools to bring that idea to life, and seemingly spent its resources on name actors it barely even used […] The Cloth is not a good film.  And frankly, that is the mildest way to put it.” Culture Crypt

“The head of the order is played by […] Eric Roberts as Father Tollman. As with Trejo what you see on the posters or in a trailer is pretty much the extent of his role. Armed with their fancy weapons as agents of God Jason and Diekmen go hunting demons; unfortunately, their holy Q, quartermaster, couldn’t arm them with a cohesive script.” Home Theater Info

” …the film looks a treat and belies its low budget to create some impressive effects, particularly in the creatures and make-up department. It also moves along at a fair old pace and chucks in plenty of good old-fashioned priests vs. demons action sequences. On balance, however, the fundamental problems with both the story and the acting prevent me from giving The Cloth anything other than a cautious recommendation.” HNN

“The dialogue does sometimes leave these actors in the lurch, however, and never rises above the mildly amusing level of, “That’s holy water… bitch.” More damaging than any shortcomings of casting, however, are the filmmakers’ insistence on bringing to the screen effects-reliant phantasmagorias that are simply beyond the means of such a limited budget.” Ideological Content Analysis

“It checks so many boxes in the ‘This Sounds Cool as a Film’ Checklist…but sucks. For one, their CG is bad. No matter how neat the weapons may sound, the effects suck. Second, the action scenes are just hard to follow […] I’m less bothered by it than most. That said, these ones are awful.” Mondo Bizarro

“The sound/graphics/writing/editing/ cinematography etc are on par with the across-the-board performances which means… well, let’s just say that Kyler Willett isn’t even convincing as a real human being, much less an actor.” Seraphic Wings

“Priests fighting demons…that’s about it. Eric Roberts is in this for five minutes proving he’ll act in anything for a paycheck. Danny Trejo is also in this for an additional five minutes […] The main hero in this is the less talented clone of Paul Walker. Think about that for a minute.” Wide Weird World of Cult Films

Choice dialogue:

Laurel: “There’s no such thing as corruption in the church Jason! The only church that has ever existed, lies within.”

Helix: “Somebody slap me with the devil’s nutsack!”

Directed and photographed by James Shanks from a screenplay co-written with producer Neil Craske, the Dog Face Films production stars Mackenzie Astin, Neil Cole, Chris Rogers and Donald Morrison.

Reviews [click links to read more]:

“The humor element is probably the movie’s biggest weakness. It works in the beginning, but the latter half sees it come and go, and at times becomes entirely unrealistic […] With some good cinematography in places, decent acting performances, and some solid bits of tension…” MadCetologist

” …this film is just a lot of fun. It is not scary, it’s doesn’t have Oscar level performances, not much blood and gore, nothing supernatural, and not one iota of originality, but what it does have it oodles of style. It has fun moments of humor, some honest tension, believable interactions between the characters, a bit of action…” Scared Stiff Reviews

“I’d definitely categorize Stag Hunt more as a comedy than a horror flick. The acting is quite good the cinematography though is not that impressive, but surely that is to be expected of a low budget film. Go on and give it a try.” What You Need to Watch

Stag Hunt is streaming on Amazon Prime in the UK, USA and other territories.
