good films involving pest / infection / virii

as if two versions of the movie were mashed together

this sounds about right, you jump from a scene with Jason Lee making poop and fart jokes to him getting his hand bitten off by an alien in a span of less than 10 minutes

edit: basically i want more over the top expensive CGI spectacle horror movies, the studios realized after silent hill and dreamcatcher that it was a dead-end so they went back to low budget stuff. I really enjoyed the Silent Hill movie but i know im in the minority here.

If you like cheesy stuff then there's always Cabin Fever. Tits and infection fest.

[REC] is also really, really good but do not watch the awful American remake, 'Quarantine'.

I haven't seen Cabin Fever but I am giving out a warning that this is a movie by Eli Roth who is currently competing with Tom Six for the position of Worst Director Ever in my book.

How bad exactly IS Quarantine ... ?

The Others. Nicole Kidman is a total pest in that.

She is, but it's a great and absolutely spine chilling movie and I highly recommend it, although no infection.

dreamcatcher sucked me in for like 20 minutes and then i don't know what happened

EXACTLY what I thought.

I'm gonnie watch the Silent Hill movie, no high expectations but I just wanna see how they spun the game franchise into a movie.

I love this movie. so strange, the idea of a memetic language virus as a being unto itself.

I really liked Silent Hill. I thought it was the only video game film that really worked well.

Contagion is very good. Highly recommended.

I second Phase IV and add Hellstrom Chronicles to the list. Great depections of insect warfare vs. us.

For a virus movie, try Plague a/k/a M3 the Gemini Strain. Very downbeat.

I thought black death was allright when I watched it. I might've been in a good mood.

28 weeks later (obviously but not mentioned yet)

Slither

i liked this movie, mixes horror and comedy in just the right amounts for me

i don't know how high the budget was on Slither but i remember a great scene from the movie where you flashback to the alien home planet and just see all these weird slug creatures interacting

night of the living dead. dawn of the dead. return of the living dead. Alien. I haven't watched contagion yet, but I figure that'll be ok. already mentioned 28 days/weeks and andromeda strain are pretty cool films.

you probably realized you were watching a terrible film. The fly (cronenberg).

i havent seen this but i hear it's good, 'No Blade of Grass' 1970 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066154/

The one with Will Smith in and a dog. I can't remember the name. Most people hated it. I liked it.

ugh, "I am legend". I prefer the Omega Man, but that's not very good either, the last man on earth is ok I guess.

Cabin Fever knows it's bad so that's why it works. Also...

If Quarantine hadn't been a remake I guess it would have been ok, but knowing how creepy the original is (especially the ending) it doesn't really have a lot of things going for it.

Epidemic by Lars Von Trier. There should be a release with english subtitles, pretty sure that my DVD has it.

watched Epidemic, really liked it. Freaked me out when the dudes met Udo Kier in Cologne.

only 15 mil. I think they used their budget extraordinarily well.

just watched Contagion. For a 2011 Hollywood thing it was good enough i suppose. It had multiple iPhone ads embedded which was lol considering the topic.
