A random watch, got this movie for my birthday and didn't even really look what it's about, just put it in.

I was pleasently surprised. Imagine going out to travel the world, only to be bitten by a vampire and then turning into one all so slowly... And capturing it all on footage to share with the internet.

The directors and stars of the film were so good. I guess it's because they are close friends in real life, but I just believed them.

I loved the special effects. They really used the found footage to their advantage by doing shots you didn't even think of, showing things in a fun new way.

I had lots of fun with the characters on their own, but then adding this vampire element really sealed the deal for me.

I'm rating Afflicted 3 out of 5 stars and a like.
