Infection (Japan, 2004)

In a general hospital near bankruptcy, the reduced staff is working under a severe stress. During the emergency attendance to a burned patient, Dr. Akiba and the nurse commit an error, injecting sodium chlorate and killing him. Dr. Uozumi convinces the team to forge the report to save their careers. Meanwhile, an ambulance leaves a patient in the emergency with a lethal infection. When the muscles and internal organs of the patient liquefy, Dr. Kiyoshi Akai convinces his two colleagues to examine and research the virus, leading the employees of the night shift to a tragic end.

Infection (a.k.a. Kansen) has a sort of B-movie feel to it, but that doesn't make it any less scary. It still manages to be a solid horror movie, with disgusting sound effects and haunting music. 

Genre: Drama/Horror
