The Infection

About This Movie

The Infection (2018) offers a raw dive into the complexities of a marriage teetering on the edge. Krister and Kristina Carnemos's struggles are portrayed with a heavy atmosphere—there’s a palpable tension that hangs over every conversation. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which really nails that sense of entrapment. The performances are quite understated but pack an emotional punch, reflecting their doubts and fears. The film's practical effects are minimal, yet they enhance the feeling of reality and rawness. It's all about the discomfort, the nagging doubts that infect their connection, and the way those small issues expand into something much larger. Not something you'd watch for thrills, but it definitely sticks with you.
