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 later received a limited online streaming release on Netflix, in 2011 and was given moderately positive reviews.^{[ citation needed]}
