Plot Summary:

This indie horror flick finds a group of college pals reuniting for the funeral of a friend who has apparently committed suicide. They soon discover, however, that their friend was involved with a secretive medical research lab, and he was killed by one of the lab's experiments-gone-wrong, vampire flies which are vulnerable to sunlight. To protect themselves, they hide in the bodies of their victims, who are then reanimated as zombies. Tuc plays Carl, and as the photo above pretty much indicates, he's not one of the luckier funeral attendees.

The Reviews:

"A fun cheapo horror romp that makes no claims to profundity but displays truly acerbic wit and a deep conversance with the genre...'Infested' could develop [a] strong cult following." -- Ronnie Scheib, Variety (11/12/02)

"This [movie] is soooooooooo satisfying...Drive-In Academy Award nomination for Tuc Watkins, as the bored dot-commer who learns to like zombification...Four stars. Joe Bob says check it out." -- Joe Bob Briggs, Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In
