Rebecca (Rosie Pearson) wakes up in pretty much the middle of nowhere,
her body bruised, traces of blood in her hair, her clothes torn ... and at
first she has no idea where she is, what's going on, and only a faint idea
who she is even. She stumbles through the countryside, and even though she
feels hungry and thirsty, she can hold neither food nor drink. Eventually,
she runs across Gary (Darren Kent), who first threatens her with a gun,
and only when he has convinced himself that she's one of the living, he
offers her to join forces, as he tells her that the world has been overrun
by zombies, and they have more chances to survive if they're together.
Rebecca doesn't believe Gary, but by the by her memories return, and they
all suggest that everything Gary has told her is nothing but the truth.
But Gary proves himself less dependable than he ought to be ... In
this day and age, where zombie movies are a dime a dozen, Infected does
manage to find an original approach to the genre, seeing the zombie
apocalypse through the eyes of a clueless woman who might be infected
already and who's traumatized by events she's struggling to remember to
find herself again. All of this is of course helped by a powerful central
performance by Rosie Pearson and a directorial effort that invariably puts
the emotional side of things over spectacle. Totally worth a look or
two!
