Shudder's Infirmary Was Shot in a Real Abandoned Hospital | Nicholas Pineda Interview

Director Nicolas Pineda joins Bloody Good Horror to talk about Infirmary, the new found-footage horror film out NOW on Shudder.

Pineda takes us inside the making of the film, from the real abandoned hospital that became its setting to the bizarre stories that emerged during production. He talks about why trained police dogs refused to enter one of the hospital’s corridors, the challenges of making found footage feel authentic, and how the film accidentally ended up becoming a great example of liminal horror. Plus, why Pineda has such a deep appreciation for horror fans and the community surrounding the genre.

Infirmary is out now on Shudder.
