A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

There are many frightening films out there...I must say this is a very disturbing and frightening film. It has an interesting concept and moments of truth.Jack Thomas Smith's disturbing assembled footage film "INFLICTION", which documents a 2011 murder spree committed by two brothers in North Carolina.This movie definitely gives you an eerie feeling.I would highly recommend this film for everyone to see, not just horror fans.I look forward to seeing Jack Thomas Smith's next film.

I love a movie that, even at the end, you are still wondering who the villain is. The acting in this film is solid and believable as you fall into the characters lives. Two brothers detail their journey on film as they cut a path of killings across North Carolina. This my introduction to director Jack Thomas Smith and after watching I have to confess the style and editing drew me into this. I now have to watch his first movie Disorder. His story telling in Infliction, to me, is well thought out and the edits are used effectively, not having a lot of fluff in the final project. This movie will have you thinking, long after you've turned it off.

I don't even know where to begin with this movie. I watched the trailer and expected this to be great, I was SO wrong!! This movie is awful in every sense of the word, it's obvious that the raving reviews here are written by people who are part of the cast or crew. Judging by the trailer, this seems like an exciting and dark found footage movie, but there is nothing exciting about this. I was expecting a genius twist or some unexpected reason to why the boys went on a killing spree, but not even the reason filled my expectations. There's just nothing new here, I can't seem to find a single positive thing about this movie. The acting is horrible, there's not one believable character in this movie and this is suppose to be found footage? Hah! What a joke. The movie drags on, they could have cut it down by 30 minutes without hurting the already miserable plot, and I must admit I was browsing the internet and checking my email while I suffered through the last part of this. Boring, boring, boring. I could care less how this ended, halfway through I wished for them all to die, disappear or simply quit, anything to not have to witness more awful "acting" from these people. This actually my first review on IMDb, I felt the need to share a real opinion about this movie, since almost all the reviews so far seems to be fake. Save your time and money, this is a joke. Did I mention it's not even a tiny bit scary? It's not, my puppy could've watching this without issues.

I'm not usually a fan of the genre, but Infliction is just too good to pass up. In what is definitely the best found-footage film I've seen, twists and turns are prevalent but never absurd, which only helps to bolster the movies authentic tone. In other words, after seeing the film, I genuinely have no idea whether or not it is actual real footage, or just amazing actors and crew. Infliction is the kind of scary that really gets under my skin. It takes place in a town that is sure to seem familiar to many, and its characters are the kind of people I'm sure you've met before. It all feels like something this this could happen in your town at any second. It's that real world feel that really adds to the movies already terrifying story.I don't want to give anything away, so all I will say is buckle up and get ready for an intense and scary ride!
