Infection review

I've read a lot of bad reviews about this film in the past few days but still: a Korean movie can't be bad can it? Decided to see this one night and can say that it's not a bad film at all like some reviewers make it out to be. Firstly, it is set in a hospital...always an unsettling place (for me at least) and second, a hospital staff that are creepy as they come. Sound good so far? Then read on. Typical trends of Korean movies is that they are melodramatic and uneasily slow and this is no different. In fact this is more like a surreal nightmare that takes you along for a (fun) ride. Part ghost story,  part conspiracy story, one does get a feeling that the director wasn't really sure of which direction he wanted to take and just marred the two concepts together and as always the end product is an unsettling piece. A series of Korean horror movies this was the first film to be made followed by "Premonition". Both films are entertaining providing that you have the patience to sit through them (which many do not). One thing I should point out is that there are a few jump scares scattered throughout the film (a damn shame in my book) but nevertheless, a good film it still is.
