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.

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.

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.

Calling all fans of claustrophobic horror and creepy crawlies! "Infested" delivers a potent double shot, merging the frantic energy of "REC" with the sheer terror of "Arachnophobia."

This film throws you headfirst into a decaying apartment building overrun with monstrous spiders. Like "REC," the action unfolds in an apartment building, keeping the tension high. You feel trapped alongside the desperate residents as they navigate the building's labyrinthine corridors, each corner potentially harboring a venomous nightmare.

But unlike "REC," the terror in "Infested" comes with eight hairy legs and a taste for human flesh. The film takes a page from "Arachnophobia," reveling in the sheer ick factor of its spider infestation. The close-ups on these monstrous arachnids are guaranteed to make your skin crawl, and the creative ways they attack add a layer of gruesome fun to the experience.

Where "Infested" truly shines is in its ability to balance scares with surprising character development. We care about the residents trapped in the building, making us genuinely invested in their fight for survival.

"Infested" is the perfect recipe for a frightfully good time. Just make sure you haven't eaten recently, and prepare to swat imaginary spiders out of the air long after the credits roll.
