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.

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.
