Infection by Masayuki Ochiai

Category: Non-English

Definitely not a movie for the faint hearted, I had watched Infection many years back and decided to re-visit it again. Back then the movie had a lasting impression thanks to the J-Horror genre it belongs to, on a recent viewing however I wasn't as impressed as I was back then.

The movie follows a hospital where a mysterious patient arrives suffering from a disease with no real treatment. Eventually he dies and what follows next is a mind game across the soon to be run-down hospital. Whether it is real or fake is put to the test as our minds come across various psychological scenarios in the movie. But more than that there's an element of the supernatural which is also present that gives us a tough dose about our own reality.

Recommendation level: 3/5 - Pretty interesting as a one time watch only though!
