Infirmary

About This Movie

So, 'Infirmary' is one of those films that really leans into the eerie atmosphere of an abandoned psych hospital. The pacing is pretty deliberate, which, for a horror flick, can be a real gamble; but it pays off here. The bodycam footage aspect adds this raw authenticity that makes every jump scare feel a bit more visceral. The practical effects? Pretty solid; nothing over-the-top but just the right touch of disquiet. There's this haunting sense of isolation that permeates the whole thing, making you feel the guard's dread, like you’re right there with him. It’s not just about the scares, though. It delves into the psychological toll of the environment, which is a nice layer to the experience. Definitely has a unique vibe.
