Nicholas Pineda’s intense, claustrophobic take on found footage horror INFIRMARY World Premieres January 16th
at Dances With Films NY
Filmmaker Nicholas Pineda is proud to World Premiere INFIRMARY, his thrilling found footage horror film, at Dances With Films NY on January 16th. The claustrophobic feature debut from Pineda stars Paul Syre, Mark Anthony Williams, Danielle Kennedy, and Corinna Wagner-Smith.
In this tense World Premiere thriller, a young security guard begins his first night at the Wilshire Infirmary, a crumbling, long-abandoned mental asylum with a history that refuses to die. Paired with Lester, a retiring guard whose unusual behavior only adds to the unease, Edward quickly realizes this isn’t just another job.
An intruder shatters the silence, but vanishes before Edward and Lester can act. Lester, his only ally in this forsaken place, disappears into the bowels of the asylum without a trace, leaving Edward to fend for himself. As the hospital’s dark history closes in on him, the line between reality and madness blurs. Edward becomes the prey of forces he cannot understand, trapped in a labyrinth of horrors that seem intent on breaking his mind.
Haunted by visions, stalked by unseen entities, and tortured by his own unraveling psyche, Edward must face his fears and escape the infirmary’s clutches… or lose himself in its twisted depths forever.
A fresh, character-driven take on found footage horror that employs everything from bodycam video to security camera footage, INFIRMARY injects new life into the genre while simultaneously honoring the films that came before it.
Directed by Nicholas Pineda and written by Katy Krauland, the indie thriller stars Paul Syre, Mark Anthony Williams, Danielle Kennedy, and Corinna Wagner-Smith, and is produced by Pineda and Krauland.
