फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
A promising movie with a slow start building up the main character's emotional struggles and conflicts.
Interesting plot came in the form of skin crawling scenes of the spiders alonf with lots of screams and deaths. The last 10 mins of ending was rather weak, leaving one with more questions along the line of, 'what? But how? Huh? Can that even work?'. I think it could be better.
There's no glory in death but with so many deaths, only two were interesting enough (one being the most emotionally dramatic).
Camera work and colouring were great so kudos to the team. Worth watching for all the jumpscare.

What tangled webs they weave when the survivors cannot leave.
Infested is the latest of European Apartment/Isolation Horror with the likes of 2007's Rec from Spain and 2022's Lockdown Tower with the latter closer to this kind of rundown building and both from France. While I liked the other two more, this still works. At least the first half, anyways.
A neglected apartment tower's resident critter expert brings home a poisonous spider only to lose it almost immediately and just as swiftly, that thing multiplies tenfold+. Soon, all the residents will face off with the new eight-legged occupants and hopefully some will survive.
As usual in these When-Animals-Attack films, the characters do some DUMB things. Like over and over.
Wasn't there a first-floor window to crawl out of? Front door to simply open? Egad, every dumb mistake you could make happened here. Granted, I'd probably panic, too or simply have a heart-attack with my arachnophobia in a dark building full of spiders.
My biggest issue was there were no time jumps to make this even remotely realistic. And to me, the more realistic, the more terrifying it is. Here, the one spider lays its egg sack and pretty much, within minutes the whole tower is covered with them. Plus, they grow to almost human size with each new batch.
Now that said, it didn't stop me from jumping so many times out of my seat and audibly swearing, I had to constantly pause the movie to recover. So, yeah, they did their job on my fears. And if you also suffer from the same fright of these abominations, you'll probably get some great scares out of this as well.
You'll just have to get through some tough/long scenes of character set up in the first half-hour. Despite these feeling like real people who really live in the same tight quarters, it was almost brutal to get through so much exposition to get to what we pressed play for: a Spider Invasion.
It's not bad, and for the grand majority of the spider-scenes, they did look like real spiders (well, except for the 3-foot kinds.) Just try not to imagine them on your own skin.
***
Final Thoughts: It pains me to give this a mediocre review. I did the same for 2022's Fall - which explored my greatest fear: Heights. (Spiders are my #2.) That one just suffered through cliches and really bad characters I didn't care about. This film's problem was the speed they multiplied and size they grew. Also, since when are spiders social bloodsuckers?

Good setup. Made me think of the beginning of "Braindead" (Dead-Alive) from Peter Jackson. It also has some great, odd, close-up camera shots which were great.
What follows in Infested, however, is a avalanche of constant group yelling scenes of a bunch of people who make really bad decisions. Again!
Why do movie writers keep creating stupid characters just to give them a tool to hurdle over major plot holes? Stop doing that! Create characters which the viewer can relate to and create a better story.
I feel though, that this is a promising director, due to the special shots and atmosphere he created. I hope he will do a better job with the next "Evil Dead" movie.

The best spider horror film in the history of cinema. On the other hand, you can count the number of horror stories about spiders on one hand :-)
Well acted, funny, well shot and keeps you in suspense from start to finish.
It also has an accurate social commentary on groups of people "pushed" to the outskirts of large cities, who, like the spiders in the film, often have to fight for survival.
It's a dream directorial debut that looks like a good million-dollar horror hit. It is worth following the development of this director's career.
I recommend it to everyone who is not afraid of spiders.

Infested is a brilliant film.
From a first time director it's a fun and tense little horror movie.
Definitely not one for real arachnophobia sufferers. There's a LOT of spiders in this movie.
Some real nasty ones.
The setting of a French housing project gives a grim atmosphere throughout the movie and the spiders thrive in this environment.
There's a bit of personal drama between Kaleb, his sister and his friend Jordy.
And this adds a little bit of heart to the story.
All the characters are one's we care about.
Despite Kaleb's misguided purchase of a very deadly spider that kicks things off.
There's plenty of jumpy moments of fun and spidery chases and tense walk throughs of 8 legged crawlies hanging on walls and ceilings.
Whilst there's nothing really groundbreaking here it's a well done thriller that keeps you hooked.
The ending battle was for me a little weak but overall this is a must see for any horror fans.
It's a good bit of entertainment.

- ट्रिवियाThe visually striking buildings where the action is set have not been created for the movie; these are the Picasso arenas in Noisy-le-Grand, near Paris, designed by architect Manuel Núñez Yanowsky in the 80s.
- गूफ़When TN is feeling the effects of the spider bite, he is seen wearing one of the new shoes. Prior to being bit he was wearing no shoes. He would not have put on the right shoe after being attacked/poisoned.
