Vermines

The movie was well shot with good lighting and cinematography. The spider effects were all really well done. The acting was also good. But as far as the story goes... why were the middle eastern people working so hard to catch these things for what I assume is a few bucks? I'm confused as to why the venomous animal specialist tried putting a spider in a shoebox. Im confused as to why after the spider escapes from the shoebox, he puts one of its eggs in the same shoebox. Im confused as to why suddenly half way through the movie the spiders are scared of light. Im confused as to how the spiders webbed a bunch of people to the ceiling... im confused im confused im confused. But who cares about finer plot points, its enjoyable creature flick none the less.

The very first Arachnophobia movie scared me as a kid, I haven't seen that in awhile and most bug/shark/gator movies do not scare me much these days. But this movie had managed to capture the truly unique take of trying to capture a giant spider using a glass container, it was truly terrifying cause some of us had to do that in real life. That, and the creepy crawlies zooming up real fast using your broom as a ladder. This is one of those movies that are not reliant on cheap jump scares but our own natural fears.

The only negative thing I could find about this piece is that the spiders grew up too fast, there was no segment for the passing of time. And some of the cast, kind of looks alike that I don't know who's who. Their mannerisms are the same and mostly were introduced once. But it made up for some good acting to push through the drama. That scream near the end was moving and filled the room with terror... then the lights went out.

Overall could've been better but it's pretty solid. It's well written, not using cheap gimmicks as a crutch. Spiders are realistic (except for some of the big ones) and made me somehow feel for some of the characters.

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.

This is what a horror movie about spiders should be like. For the first hour or so everything works, it feels well put together, and the soundtrack only compliments this.

The spiders are well done, and there is some genuinely frightening jump scares.

It entire production takes place in a apartment block in Paris. It feels isolated, dark, grim, and poverty stricken. At times, it felt like the same isolation one would get watching the the first Alien movie.

However, whilst the movie is well made, the third act is difficult to take seriously. Sometimes less is more in this context. People in an apartment block fighting for their very lives was interesting, until it became silly and cartoonist.

That being said, the first hour is the best bit of horror you're likely to see this year.

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.
