Shudder Day: Infirmary (2026)

Am I tempting fate by watching yet another Found Footage Film this Month?

Will I be pleasantly surprised?

Let's find out...

A young Veteran is hired to work a low-stress Security Job.

The problem- it's the Night Shift job at a recently abandoned Hospital.
He's a bit traumatized by the older Security Guard who wants to razz him.

He is also a bit on edge due to some trauma from his time in Afghanistan.

The big, spooky hallways don't help.
They try to find a stranger that breaks in, but they disappear.

As our Hero tries to relax, the power goes out!

The older Guard is going to leave him alone to reset the breaker.
On edge already, being in the dark is not helping his state of mind.

He also starts seeing these medical mannequins everywhere.
Weird.
Can he survive the night?
What secret is this Hospital hiding?

Will they avoid ending on 'The Cannibal Holocaust' Shot for a change?

To find out, stream it now.
A Film that does so many things well...and just fumbles quite a bit at the end.

To start with, the Film has great atmosphere.  They used a real Hospital, which helps things.

The Film is very tightly focused, which also helps a great deal.
It can make interiors look unsettling and do much with something as simple as a creaking door.

They also build up some interesting lore about the place.  I wanted to see where it went.

The problem- it didn't go anywhere.
Weird shit happens.  It ends.  That's it.

If you want even a halfway decent answer, it's not here.  If they had delivered more, I would be praising the Film more.

I don't mind the low budget.  I like how they shot it.

Just actually make a proper ending or make one so insane that I still remember it (and not the Film).
I wanted to love this (honest), but it wasn't quite there.
Is this part of The Backrooms?

A Film that wrote 3/4 of a potentially interesting Film and then stopped.  For what it does do right, I'm optimistic about what the Director might do in the future.
