The The: Infected - The Movie

About This Movie

So, 'The The: Infected - The Movie' is this interesting artifact from 1987, crafted by Matt Johnson. It's not just a music video collection; it feels more like a visual diary that accompanies the 'Infected' album. The atmosphere is gritty and raw, with a blend of haunting imagery and powerful performances that really capture the essence of the band's sound at the time. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw some off, but it adds to that almost dreamlike quality. There's a certain authenticity in the practical effects and the way the visuals intertwine with the music—it just makes you feel something. Definitely stands out in the landscape of music films from that era.

This film originally released on VHS, making it a bit of a challenge to find today. It carries a certain collector's allure, partly due to its limited circulation and the fact that many fans of The The appreciate its unique approach. The combination of music and striking visuals draws in a niche audience, and as it’s from the late '80s, it definitely has that vintage vibe collectors might seek out.
