Critics Consensus

A chillingly effective creature feature with more on its mind than simple creepy-crawlies, Infested draws viewers into its web with stylish efficiency.

3.5/4

But the best thing I can say about Infested is that I squirmed in my seat as if I were sitting on a chair made out of upturned nails for the majority of the running time.

7/10

The kind of film where a viewer feels compelled to shake out their pant leg afterwards to make sure there aren’t any critters hiding in there, which, on an elemental level, makes Infested a success.

3.5/4

Vanicek’s first feature is an impressive debut, driven by an energetic fright.

Increasingly claustrophobic and with a solid enough investment in its ill-fated gang of characters, Infested manages to stand out from the very crowded subgenre it’s playing in.

Emerging director Sébastien Vaniček’s skittering debut rocks Attack the Block vibes, except with earthly eight-legged menaces instead of aliens ... disturbingly good fun, it will leave you itching for more.

Sébastien Vanicek‘s debut is a little oddly paced, but has a class-conscious core and a pleasantly anarchist ACAB streak.

The movie was good, I don't mind how the fast the Spider grew but what annoyed me and caused me to rate this like this is because of the main character.

id rather watch an stare at a white wall for 1.5 hours next time. another worthless dumb low budget spooky spider movie. the spiders look fake and every scene is made as cheap and stupid as possible. the french language doesn't make it better. it makes it worse in this specific movie. soulles garbage

Started out with so much potential. But then they turned it into a big drama. The Story got muddled, to much screaming plot lost its way and it all went down hill.

Overall, it has been a while since we had an excellent spider movie crawl onto our screens. You're in luck if you enjoy titles like Arachnophobia or Evil Dead Rise. Infested combines aspects from both titles and delivers a fun movie with successful jump scares, creepiness, nasty kills, and lots of spiders. The old rundown apartment building is an excellent setting on display that changes as the film progresses. The film's leads are pretty enjoyable and robust enough that viewers will cheer them on, hoping for their survival; however, the side characters are a weaker aspect. While the spiders here look real in every way possible, the movie has limited repeat viewings, and some moments are bound to be forgettable. Nonetheless, it's a great time and fun concept, and horror buffs will undoubtedly be pleased with the results.
