Infection is indeed a good movie that left me and my friends discussing it even after the movie ended. I was very puzzled as to what the motive of the movie was, especially till the end when the green blood became red and the red blood became green. wad the hell.. is the movie jus playing tricks on us, creatin illusions??

However, after pondering over the movie further, i realised that there is more to this movie. On the surface, the plot is seemingly simple- about an infectious virus spreading in a lousy hospital, leaving the staff scared stiff. it sets us into thinking whether the people really died because of an infection or were in fact, murdered by a single doctor on the pretext of his illusions. Fact versus illusion.. it is indeed infecting our subconscious minds...

Of course, there are other themes put forth by the movie that are related to gp. Medical ethics are challenged.. similarly topics like euthanasia and the sanctity of life are discussed... our thoughts and our subconsicous mind.. everything that we see are actually our individual perceptions and may not be reality. The use of the many mirrors in the movie also reminds us of the reflection that we see everyday- reflections of ourselves. It also shows us the evil and selfish nature of men.. that they would go to all means to achieve their aims, only for their sole benefits- definitly chilling to think of it.

This is a movie worth watching.. if u're not scared by the horrifying and gross elements of course.. if not u'll jus end up shutting your eyes for the rest of the movie =)
