Production[]
The project was filmed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada under the working title The Hatching.[2] 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.[3] Genius Productions and Rhi Entertainment released the film Direct-to-DVD and VOD on 19 May 2009 in the United States.[4] The film currently holds a 3.9 out of 10 on IMDB.[5] 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.[6]
