Infection takes place in Venezuela. It tells the story of a father dealing with the loss of his wife. All while trying to keep life normal for his son. The first half hour is a little bit slow. I’d sit tight though. Infection is well done. The slower parts hint at what is to come.

One of my favorite parts of Zombie Movies is that transition from “everything is okay” to “holy f*ck, people are eating people”. There are several awesome zombie horde scenes and they are top notch. I have to be honest, if the movie had continued to focus on the zombies this would have scored a 100/100.

Infection does atmosphere well. The film makers did a 28 Days Later quality job on the post apocalypse world. The fear and urgency of how fast the situation can change was captured amazingly well in this film.

Infection Scoring

So what cost this move 21 points and why did it end up with a rank of 79/100? It has awesome zombie violence. The special effects are well done. The acting is excellent. So why did it get dinged? Please don’t let this keep you from watching, Infection, it is Worth Your Time, but it would have been even better if the focus had stayed on the zombies and the survival, but the end is one of those classics. I don’t want to ruin it, but it is a wee bit predictable.

Night of the Comet is the movie that made me fall in love with the zombie genre. It has a great story revolving around two gorgeous sisters who are luckily inside when the Comet turns everyone who was exposed into the undead.

The two sisters, Regina Belmont played by Catherine Mary Stewart and Samantha Belmont played by Kelli Maroney have advantages. Their father was in the army and the girls know how to handle some military grade weapons. Those types of skills come in handy when the Zombies start to bite.

The sisters meet up with Hector Gomez played by Robert Beltran before deciding to send out a broadcast to other survivors from a nearby radio station.

As luck would have it, the people who come looking for them have ulterior motives. They need the blood of survivors to try and save themselves.

Night of the Comet Scoring

The movie is over twenty years old, and yet it has held up really well. The first twenty times I’ve watched this movie it scored a 100/100. Close to forty years later and it still holds up, earning an 85/100.

If you haven’t watched Night of the Comet, you have to put it on your short list now.
