If you love found footage and/or hospital horror, this will be just what the doctor ordered.
INFIRMARY, directed by Nicholas Pineda and written by Katy Krauland, will have its world premiere on Friday, January 16 at the Regal Union Square theater as part of the Dances With Films NY festival. Presented through bodycam video, security-camera footage, etc., it stars Paul Syre, Mark Anthony Williams, Danielle Kennedy and Corinna Wagner-Smith. The synopsis: “Edward [Syre], a young security guard, begins his first night at the Wilshire Infirmary, a crumbling, long-abandoned mental asylum with a history that refuses to die. Paired with Lester [Williams], a retiring guard whose unusual behavior only adds to the unease, Edward quickly realizes this isn’t just another job. An intruder shatters the silence, but vanishes before Edward and Lester can act. Lester, his only ally in this forsaken place, disappears into the bowels of the asylum without a trace, leaving Edward to fend for himself. As the hospital’s dark history closes in on him, the line between reality and madness blurs. Edward becomes the prey of forces he cannot understand, trapped in a labyrinth of horrors that seem intent on breaking his mind.
“Haunted by visions, stalked by unseen entities, and tortured by his own unraveling psyche, Edward must face his fears and escape the infirmary’s clutches…or lose himself in its twisted depths forever.”
