Today we’ll be grappling with Infect, a short film about zombies that will bring us the immortal life lesson: “contact with zombies is generally contraindicated by most everybody.”

In this case, we won’t get a full on zombie apocalypse–we’ll just get a really small outbreak of zombies.  But the size won’t really matter as we’ll only have three people to deal with, and as each one of them becomes infected through an attack from one of their previous number, you get to see just how rapidly a zombie infection can spread throughout even a very small population.

Seriously, imagine how freaky it would be if this concept were introduced, say, into a large city.  There’d be millions of zombies in hours.

Sadly, Infect really is only scary by implication rather than by presentation, because all Infect basically is is a bunch of guys chasing each other with a camera.

So the Screenhead Ten Scale can really only give this a four out of ten for being a wildly scary idea executed on entirely too narrow a scale.
