A hospital in the decommissioning process–housing only a skeleton staff and a few patients–receives an ambulance call, which gives no alternative other than to drop off an extremely ill man. When the person arrives, the hospital staff finds a bandaged body constantly oozing a thick green discharge. As the night goes on, it seems to affect the body and mind of those at the hospital, and they transform into violent zombies.
Coming up on Halloween, it was hard not to go with a horror movie, and one that certainly deserves more fanfare is Masayuki Ochiai’s 2004 film “Infection.” An entertaining mix of body horror and supernatural mystery, Masayuki Ochiai makes up for the limited budget by crafting ghastly moments of horror and disgust, like grabbing a handful from the needle dispensary. Moreover, “Infection” leaves much up to interpretation, and the source of the madness that overcomes the hospital...

When an outbreak of a new virus mutation turns the population into blood thirsty crazies, a young doctor is separated from his son. Navigating his way through the plague-infested streets and marauder-filled countryside, he must use every resource to find his only child and discover a cure for the deadly disease. Flavio Pedota's award winning horror flick Infection is coming to DVD and Digital in the UK and Ireland on October 18th, from genre house Danse Macabre. We caught the horror film shortly after it played at Morbido back in 2019. While it largely played by the rules of the genre its condemnation of the political regime in Pedota's native Venezuala was unmistakable. We haven't spoken to Pedota in some time but in the...

Will Cruel Summer solve (or add to) the mystery? What “situation” looms for Dynasty‘s Cristal? Is NCIS: LA keeping more secrets about Callen? Will The Resident‘s kiss lead to more? Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows. (Email any new Qs to InsideLine@tvline.com.)
On what date was Cruel Summer‘s Kate Wallis kidnapped? She is shown in every time period. For example, on her birthday of August 29, in 1993 she is with Jamie, in 1994 and 1995 she is with Mallory. But I thought she went missing in the summer of 1993. I am confused…...

New York, Feb 7 (Ians) Healthy people volunteering to be infected with Sars-CoV-2, in order to help scientists better understand how to tackle the virus, should receive payment -- if it is determined that these studies are otherwise ethical to proceed, new research suggests.
The researchers assessed the ethics of paying participants to take part in the so-called 'Human Infection Challenge Studies' (Hics) and said that they do not necessarily endorse the use of Hics for Covid-19. But if Hics proceed, not only should participants be paid, but their payment should be "substantial".
"Our work was spurred by concerns that payment for Sars-CoV-2 Hics might require a novel ethical framework, which we ultimately determined to be unfounded," said lead author Holly Fernandez Lynch from the University of Pennsylvania.
"Payment for Hics participation should be treated like payment in other clinical studies involving healthy participants," Lynch added.Over the past few months,...

In today’s film news roundup, four film festivals have opted to pull the plug, the horror film “Infection” finds a home, Heidi Honeycutt gets hired and “Where the Crawdads Sing” gets a writer.
Cancellations
A quartet of mid-size film festivals announced Wednesday that they are calling off their events due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
The Beverly Hills Film Festival, the Cleveland Film Festival, the Full Frame Festival at Duke University and the New York Children’s Film Festival all decided to scrub their events.
The Beverly Hills event, which was scheduled to occur on April 1-5, was postponed until further notice. “Due to the fact that the Beverly Hills Film Festival will bring together thousands of attendees locally and globally, it is our ethical and moral responsibility to not participate in the possible outbreak of Covid-19,” organizers said in a statement.

I did not know that Flavio Pedota`s zombie flick Infeccion (en Egnlis Infection) was picked up by Dark Sky Films yet here we are, presenting a new trailer and a release date for the Venezualan horror movie. Flavio, we need to talk more often, hermano. Horror has a new homeland. Infection is the first zombie film made in Venezuela, and it sets the apocalyptic devastation against a backdrop of the very real sociopolitical turmoil ravaging the country. After an outbreak of a new strand of the rabies virus turns the population into crazed, bloodthirsty cannibals, a young doctor finds himself separated from his son, with the rapidly decaying city and sprawling countryside standing between them. Navigating his way through the plague-infested streets and marauder-filled...
