Infliction (2014)

Excellent but underrated film

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is one of most intense films I have seen in my life time. Jack Thomas Smith and his cast have truly took the found footage genre and given it a shot in the arm! The film is hard to watch, but at the very same time I couldn't look away! This is what a True Horror film in 2015 needs to be! The fact that this was totally shot on Go Pros and hand held cameras isn't so much the original thing about this movie, but what is original is how they (cast and crew) created a "flow" using those cameras that at times makes you forget that this isn't a big budget film. Also a great use of prac effects instead of trying to do everything with new tech.

I don't even know where to begin with this movie. I watched the trailer and expected this to be great, I was SO wrong!! This movie is awful in every sense of the word, it's obvious that the raving reviews here are written by people who are part of the cast or crew. Judging by the trailer, this seems like an exciting and dark found footage movie, but there is nothing exciting about this. I was expecting a genius twist or some unexpected reason to why the boys went on a killing spree, but not even the reason filled my expectations. There's just nothing new here, I can't seem to find a single positive thing about this movie. The acting is horrible, there's not one believable character in this movie and this is suppose to be found footage? Hah! What a joke. The movie drags on, they could have cut it down by 30 minutes without hurting the already miserable plot, and I must admit I was browsing the internet and checking my email while I suffered through the last part of this. Boring, boring, boring. I could care less how this ended, halfway through I wished for them all to die, disappear or simply quit, anything to not have to witness more awful "acting" from these people. This actually my first review on IMDb, I felt the need to share a real opinion about this movie, since almost all the reviews so far seems to be fake. Save your time and money, this is a joke. Did I mention it's not even a tiny bit scary? It's not, my puppy could've watching this without issues.

I watched Infliction over the weekend and enjoyed it. The acting was above average. The story was solid. It dragged in certain spots but it kept me guessing what's next.The brothers were very believable and you could feel their pain. Their sister was great! The mom and dad were really sick. The dad was so good you wanted nothing but bad things to happen to him.I read a couple of the negative reviews here and they sounded more like personal attacks than anything else. There's always haters out there.I'm recommending this to everyone I know.7 out of 10.

This film is clearly not for everyone. If you don't like story driven films, don't have an attention span or are expecting excessive mindless gore, this isn't the film you're looking for..move along. I downloaded this over the weekend and LOVED it! I have never seen a film like this. Ever. Found footage films are usually about paranormal activity or people getting tortured simply for shock value. INFLICTION is unlike either of those types of films. Although, I did have to look away during some of the extremely graphic scenes, this film is carried by the horrific story that unfolds through the eyes of two brothers who have reason to document their revenge the way they did. I don't want to give too much away, but I want to be very honest in my review to ensure true film lovers who enjoy intelligent and well done cinema that this is a film not to be missed!
