Arácnidos

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.

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.

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.

I had a very difficult time getting through this movie. First it was slow and uninteresting, standard french slums with people constantly cursing, smoking weed and quite a nonsensical overacting throughout the entirery of the movie. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, especially when they are going through that corridor, is full of screaming, a good 10 minutes mindless scene. For whatever reason, that screaming with fading to black and still hearing screams left a bitter feeling for the rest of the movie for me, but that's not all, screaming continues and it never ends. I actually fell a sleep at 1 hour of the movie and continued watching it after 3 days.. I would not recommend this movie to a friend but if you really don't have better things to do and you are bored out of your mind, maybe you could watch this movie while doing something else like writing this review or watching something else at the same time on your phone.
