BA_Harrison When a severe burns patient is accidentally given the wrong treatment, resulting in his death, the doctor and nurses present agree to cover up their dreadful mistake. Meanwhile, another severely ill patient is abandoned in ER by paramedics, resulting in an outbreak of a deadly infection at the hospital that causes momentary madness in its victims and the liquefaction of their internal organs.Home to misery, pain and death, hospitals are inherently suited to horror, especially at night when their creepy corridors and sterile rooms full of wickedly sharp surgical instruments become all the more atmospheric and ominous. Infection's creepy locale, a grimy, rundown hospital shrouded in shadows, is certainly very effective, the uneasy mood helping to detract somewhat from the fact that very little in this film makes much sense.As the staff struggle to contain the infection, one by one contracting the disease and turning into puddles of green goop, matters get more and more incomprehensible. By the end of the film, I hadn't got a clue what was going on, but found myself reasonably entertained for the duration by the unsettling tone and sheer weirdness of proceedings, which includes lots of green/red symbolism, a nurse sterilising her hands in boiling water, ghosts that can only be seen in mirrors, and several inexplicable shots of park swings that move by themselves.

kluseba This is another Japanese psycho thriller that keeps you guessing and asking until the very end and beyond. In this case, there's not only a twist in the end of the movie, there are several ones and it gets quite difficult to distinguish imagination and reality. I have my own theory concerning the puzzling ending but I don't want to tell it in here because this is a movie where you are asked to be attentive, to use your brain, to watch scenes over and over again. That's the reason why I highly suggest a purchase of the movie because if you rent and watch it only once, you may feel frustrated or simply confused. This is a movie to analyze and discover while the entertainment is only secondary. You have to get into this movie, be the witness of it, the detective that is analyzing the facts to get to a final product sooner or later.That's why this movie might not please to the mainstream fans that are only expecting a simple gore horror movie. If you consider yourself fitting into this category I wouldn't suggest you to watch it. This movie is less about an infection, murders or illusions than about the rather philosophical topic of guilt. That doesn't mean that there aren't any shocking scenes, some gore moments and a creepy atmosphere in the movie, all those things are more or less present and keep you watching this hypnotizing movie until the very end but they come all out to be rather secondary elements.The acting of the movie is very good as all characters have certain unique mistakes that are revealed throughout the movie and they all have their own way to deal with guilt and fear. The acting is truly gripping and authentic. The director also did a great job as there are always little hints if you are witnessing reality or imagination. The movie is intense but not concentrated on shocking scenes and though the movie takes the time to introduce the different characters, one can't describe this flick as a slow development. Many other movies of the genre are very slow but this one is somewhat faster and easier to get into without abandoning the rich details and the high amount of creativity. That's why this movie is something special and not just simply another Japanese psych thriller. I think that every Japanese psycho thriller or horror movie I have seen in my life until now is great and unique but this one is different from the others as it is faster in the beginning and even more puzzling in the end so that I couldn't directly compare this flick to any other movie. There are still many other unique things about this little masterpiece like the visual effects with the colours red and green and truly existing persons or illusions. Those effects may help you to not get completely lost by the surprising end of this inspiring movie. The score of the film is also well done, the light effects and room decorations give this flick a very dark atmosphere even if I have already seen even more gripping flicks.If you happen to like the genre, you will surely adore this movie. It works well at the first try and also as a grower that you might check out several times. I can tell you that - no matter if you happen to like or hate this movie in the end - you have surely never seen a flick like this before and this should be a reason for any open minded person to try this one out. This movie will haunt your for a while and it's up to your individual state of mind in which way this may work.

Tokyo-1997 This is one of my top 20 favourite horror movies. This movie is really unique. Although there are similar movies like this that were made before such as resident evil and slither. This movie has a very unique twists at the end which makes the entire movie interesting. Is there really a virus?? I'll leave you to watch this movie and figure out for yourself. This movie has an extremely creepy atmosphere. This movie builds tension and fear very well. This movie just gets more and more scary as it proceeds. The scariest parts of this movie to me are towards the ending. The ending is quite confusing though. This movie starts of as being very simple but ends off being a very complicated and tangled one. If you are interested to know the types of emotions doctors who treat patients in the hospital have, then go watch this movie. This movie is mostly made in a very dark atmosphere that adds to the tension and fear when one watches this movie. Some of the flaws of this movie include being slow pacing at the beginning with quite a number of dialogues, some parts were not even scary for me. Other than that, if you want to watch a movie with an interesting storyline, original and unique. This movie is highly recommended. Score:9 out of 10 stars

james_t_kirk_121272 After reading many of the reviews I find myself wondering what people do when they watch movies. This movie along with most Asian horror films was superb. In America we are redoing horror movies instead of trying to invent new ones, i.e. Nightmare on Elm ST. come on that is a dead horse. Anyway Infection---Great film I recommend that you watch this, the Setting a rundown hospital, the characters-flawed overworked staff, the atmosphere truly eerie. A mysterious infection begins to spread throughout the hospital, liquefying the victims. Like many Asian horror films the truth behind everything is cloudy, the only true flaw that I can attribute to this film is that there were not nearly enough patients to call the staff overworked. Still watch this film,
