‘Kansen’ means Infection
The Japanese title of this film is ‘Kansen’ means Infection [感染] in Japanese. It also means psoriasis [乾癬] and sweat gland [æ±—è…º] which sums up the nice atmosphere of this film which I’ve only dared to watch the trailers. The director Masayuki Ochia, who also made the cult hit “Parasite Eve,” must have had fun making it judging from the schlocky film poster. Since most Japanese films hit regular TV in less than year, I won’t have to wait long to be sickened by this one.
Film Threat, review of the Japanese film “Infection†ENTER THE DEN OF SIN: J-HORRIBLE
….this was the worst hospital in all of Japan. The doctors hadn’t been paid in months, they were almost out of basic supplies and the doctors and nurses that populated the place were all incompetent in some way, including the newest nurse who had made a pin-cushion out of a coma victim through her ineptitude with a syringe. In response to the question of “What should we do?” my husband yelled out a predictable: “Burn the place down!”….
Read an interview with the director Masayuki Ochia who said of his film, “To me a big part of Japanese horror is that the movies often make little to no sense.”
