Infection

In a general hospital nearing bankruptcy, the skeleton staff is working under severe stress. During emergency attendance to a burn victim, Dr. Uozumi (Masanobu Takashima) and Dr. Akiba (Kôichi Satô) erroneously inject sodium chlorate and kill the patient. Dr. Uozumi convinces the team to forge the report and save their careers. But a bad night turns worse when a patient with a mysterious infection is left unaccompanied in the emergency room to spread the lethal, gooey virus around. A favorite of the 2000s J-horror boom, Masayuki Ochiai's gnarly body horror is a grotesque delight that departs from the more familar, supernatural tropes of the era.
