Horror films rarely gather full halls. There are very, very few commercially successful paintings of this kind. This statement applies to the movie "Invasion". In 2007, the tape first appeared at the box office, but failed on the very first weekend. The final fees were not able to recoup even half of the funds invested in the tape. The stellar cast of the movie Invasion did not help either.
Plot
The world is saddened by the news of the death of the American spacecraft. At the same time, during the fall on the surface of the Earth, strange disputes spread. People who fell under their action completely lost their emotions. Only their outer shell remained. The first "adept" of the new world was Tucker Kaufman.
Leading roles and actors
The main female role in the film was played by Nicole Kidman. She embodied the image of a psychologist studying the nature of this strange virus. In the course of her research, an extraterrestrial cause of the disease was found out. The main clue is hiding in her son. But the woman does not know this yet.
To help Dr. Carol Bennel, played by Nicole Kidman, comes her longtime friend Ben Driscoll. The man clearly has romantic feelings for the woman. This pushes him to study the nature of the virus. Moreover, the man connects his friends to the problem. The role of Driscola went to Daniel Craig.
Tucker Kaufman, the main antagonist, was played by Jeremy Nortem. Former husband Carol Bennel himself was one of the first victims of the virus. He is trying in every way to preach the perfect new world.
Jackson Bond played Carol's son, Oliver. The peculiarity of the boy is that he is not afraid of this ailment. As it turned out, the virus cannot infect a person who previously had encephalitis. Based on the blood of Oliver, biologists are also developing a vaccine that could save humanity from this terrible disease.
Movie Reviews
Despite the impressive composition, at the box office cinema completely failed. Critics and viewers agreed in their crushing reviews. The stars could not stretch the frankly hackneyed and boring plot.
Trouble shooting
Various unusual incidents accompanied this tape during the filming itself. After editing and previewing the film, Oliver Hirschbigel (the main director of the film) decided to re-shoot many scenes and add more entertainment to them.
When filming the movie "Invasion", the actors also fell into some unpleasant situations. For example, right on the set, Nicole Kidman had an accident.
The actress escaped with only a fright, but one of the stuntmen broke his arm. After a couple of hours, work on the tape was continued.
