Infection2004

Horror Vault's take

Set within the decaying walls of an understaffed and crumbling Japanese hospital, Infection plunges its medical staff into a waking nightmare after a catastrophic error sets off a chain of increasingly disturbing events. When a mysterious patient arrives carrying an unknown affliction, the line between physical illness and psychological collapse begins to dissolve. Director Masayuki Ochiai crafts a slow-burn descent into paranoia and dread, where the hospital itself feels like a living, breathing trap. Fans of J-horror will find a deeply unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
