INFLICTION is an unpleasant and overlong found footage horror flick that follows a couple of brothers around as they become serial killers documenting their crimes. It's well made and looks nice in high definition, but the subject is passe and has been done better and there are few surprises in store here. What the film does strive for is a greater degree of characterisation than usual for the genre, but it doesn't work too well when the protagonists are so unsympathetic. The first half is the most interesting and has some astonishingly gory moments, but the second half turns into distasteful family melodrama and feels way too stretched out.
Plot summary
Feature film director Jack Thomas Smith's current project he calls "Infliction" is the actual assembled footage taken from the cameras belonging to two brothers, who documented a murder spree in North Carolina in 2011. The footage reveals in disturbing detail their actions and motives. It documents the effects of people's actions or inactions and its long-term consequences on other's lives. "Infliction" presents in cold detail a hard look at the blurred line between society's criminals and victims.

Unpleasant and overlong
Honor Thy Father And Mother, So That Thy Days May Be Long Upon The Earth!!!
Okay giving this one a shot. Let's see how it goes!!!!
Well at least we established this is taking place in North Carolina.
Oh nice....so two guys take this Judge captive and film it while they 'interview' him. Cool deal. +1 Star for the 'Interview'.
Then they go on to 'Interview' another couple. They film these 'interviews' for their posterity apparently. I liked the 2nd 'Interview' also. +1 Star again for that one......
On their next 'Interview' they decide to take the 'Interviewee' for a ride in their SUV....
I'm going to have to give -1 Star because the acting / dialogue between the two leads is pretty bad at many points.......
Once they go to 'Interview' Their Sister tho the movie starts to get even more fun.....
The ending was....appropriate. But really could have been better. -1 Star for the ending....
The subject matter, not for everyone.
5/10
Boring, Slow
Absolutely nothing scary or interesting about this movie. It's not intelligent, fresh or anything but a big yawn. Wish I could get those 95 minutes back.
