Featured review
"Naughty boy. Come with us."
The whole "J-horror" phenomenon may be winding down. I have not seen a clever or original entry in the sub-genre in some time. It seems they are becoming as bland as Hollywood even though most fans are still eating it up because they are in search of something different and smart. It also seems Taka Ichise produces every single one of these films so they can put some blurb about The Ring and The Grudge on the DVD box. It's getting old with me. Ringu and Ju-on were great horror films, but you can only beat a dead horse for so long. Infection (the first entry in the J-Horror Theater series) is definitely beating a dead horse. Nothing new is offered here regardless of all the potential the film had. Creepy empty hospital, weird patients, gooey green slime, and they blow it. It's just not scary, it doesn't deliver the goods like its predecessors. In fact, it's all very boring. I never once felt anything for the characters and nearly fell asleep multiple times. The situation was getting intense when they were searching for the host of the virus, but that doesn't last. In fact, there was no host at all it seems. The ending is about what I expected and I found it to be completely stupid. Some people are going to say that I missed the point, but I understood the film for the most part. It's just that I don't care. I've seen much better Asian efforts, such as The Eye and A Tale of Two Sisters, and the standards those films set are high. Infection just doesn't raise the bar.
