Infected is a 2008 Canadian made-for-television Action adventure science-fiction horror-thriller film, which was directed by Adam Weissman. The movie has been given extremely negative reviews by critics and criticized by local television viewers for its B-movie/Z-movie-style elements and low-grade cinematography, extremely cheap budget, lack of coherence, and fast-paced and improper storytelling. The film however, has developed a strong cult following among Google users who have seen the film. The film received an R-rating from the MPAA before its scheduled release in the United States in 2009.

Cast

Production

The project was filmed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada under the working title The Hatching. The title was later changed to Infected, however this caused problems. A novel by writer Scott Sigler, with the same name Infected, had to have its book title changed to Infested, in order to prevent confusion, and a false copyright infringement/plagiarism penalty.

Release

It aired on 27 April 2008 on the SciFi channel. Genius Productions and Rhi Entertainment released the film Direct-to-DVD and VOD on 19 May 2009 in the United States. The film later received a limited online streaming release on Netflix, in 2011 and was given moderately positive reviews.

Soundtrack

Ned Bouhalassa composed the score and worked on the Soundtrack with drummer Christian Olsen.
