The Infected

About This Movie

So, 'The Infected' is one of those indie zombie flicks that you might stumble onto when you're digging through a collection. Set in the chaos of New York City during a zombie apocalypse, the film follows paramedics Sarah and Josh as they navigate both the undead and their own personal stakes. The atmosphere is gritty, with a palpable sense of urgency that keeps you engaged. The practical effects, while not Hollywood-level, have a certain raw charm that adds to the horror rather than detracts from it. It also explores themes of duty versus family, which gives it a bit more depth than your usual zombie fare. The performances are earnest, which you don't always find in this genre, making it a unique watch in the overcrowded zombie landscape.

This film has had a limited release, making it somewhat elusive for collectors seeking indie horror. There are few known formats, primarily DVD and some digital copies. Its scarcity has sparked interest among genre enthusiasts, and while it may not have the wide recognition of more mainstream zombie films, it’s definitely worth a spot on the shelf for those who appreciate the less commercial side of horror cinema.
