If you don’t like spiders, you should skip this one.
Regardless, it would be best if you were warned that this is one of the best
creepy-crawly films I’ve ever seen. Sébastien Vanicek makes his feature film directorial
debut with Infested (Vermines in the original French) with a shiver-inducing
tour de force that will leave audiences itching and staring into the dark
spaces of their homes for years to come. After the success of his debut,
Vanicek has been tapped to direct the next Evil Dead film, showing a
meteoric trajectory for this young terrifier.
Kaleb (Théo Christine, Play 2019, Gran Turismo
2023) struggles to make ends meet and find meaning in his gritty urban life in
Paris. After his mother's death, he and his sister Lila (Sofia Lesaffre, Lila
Ganglands 2021, Les Misérables 2019) struggle to manage their meager
inheritance, which Kaleb looks to subsidize by fencing shoes of questionable
sourcing and pursue his lifelong dream of opening a reptile and insect zoo.
