#208: Nicholas Pineda (Infirmary)

Filmmaker Nicholas Pineda joins the show to unpack Infirmary—a body-cam and surveillance-driven horror film shaped by an abandoned hospital, indie filmmaking, and the uneasy atmosphere of liminal spaces. We discuss the film’s divided audience response, its festival journey, and how Nicholas aimed for a cinematic look without losing the in-world camera perspective. We also explore the film’s connections to survival-horror games, comparisons with other found-footage movies, and why Infirmary invites viewers to draw their own conclusions.

Infirmary is now on Shudder!
