Infected is the story of Jimmy, who has never left his house. His father warns him over and over that the world has been overtaken by the undead, and that venturing outside, even opening the front door, means death.
The viewer is left wondering. Is Jimmy’s father telling the truth? Or is he using the Zombie Apocalypse as a jail to keep his son under his control? What would the purpose be? Maybe his father is just plane crazy.
Spoilers Below
This is a low budget, Zombie Short with an interesting, if not so original premise. Jimmy’s father warns Jimmy not to trust the voices on the other side of the door until Jimmy finally makes a break for it and we find out that Jimmy’s father has been telling the truth all along.
Infected Scoring
Infected is only fifteen minutes long, so its’ not a huge time investment, but it only scored a 45/100, so save it for a Rainy Day. It wasn’t a bad idea. It just wasn’t an original idea either.
