Infested (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Infested (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Katie Rife IGN Movies 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. Rated: 7/10 Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Infested (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Vanicek’s first feature is an impressive debut, driven by an energetic fright. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Infested (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast The film works when it is focused on the creepy crawlies – the smaller the creepier – but loses its way down the stretch into an unfocused bout with social commentary about the power structure being worse than giant murderous spiders. Rated: 2.5/4 May 21, 2024 Full Review Infested (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sarah Vincent Boston Movie News The theme of residents versus cops may remind some viewers of the “Rec” Spanish film franchise, but instead of using the residents as obstacles and threats to sympathetic outsiders investigating the phenomenon, the residents are centered May 11, 2024 Full Review Infested (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Andy Klein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Creepy, icky, and pretty effective.

Primo 1 If you are in the mood for creepy crawly thrills, this French Horror is a great watch. The real stars of this movie (the spiders), delivered a copious amounts of jump scares. Sébastien Vanićek manages to keep the suspense and pace going, with some cleverly written scenes. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review geovannie s scariest movie ever 2024 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Hugo S Kaleb lives in a suburban apartment complex in Paris. Passionate about exotic animals, he adds a venous spider to his eccentric collection. Problems arise when the spider escapes and evolves into a deadly army threatening all residents. Despite offering some intense moments, "Infested" is not scary enough to crawl under the audience's skin (except for those who suffer from arachnophobia). Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Andrzej W Spiders everywhere, impressive atmosphere but also impressive stupidity of the protagonists(don't even get me started at that fight with the cops...) Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Markus D It was a ok movie but I felt like the ending could been better and the cops to me felt like generic bad cops. other than that the movie had some pretty cool camera angles and some good shots and the music was great even if at times it took the horror aspect away. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good for a scare alright. The creepy crawlies were anxiety inducing for sure. As a social commentary, I notice a lot of people commenting on the fact that it's about the power dynamic between the police and lower class in France? Fair enough. Thay commentary is certainly on the nose in a few scenes.. I saw it a little bit differently however. When you remember where the spider came from at the start and what language and religion the shop keeper was who sold the spider, I'm inclined to think of the "infestation" into France as something different, but no less accurate- especially when one looks at the demographic change in Paris over thr past 30 years for example. But who's to say 🤷‍♂️ Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
