phancy.com rating:

phancy.com notes: You should probably not watch this movie if you're arachnophobic. So many spiders, laying so many eggs, and the new spiders get bigger each time. Excellent FX work on the creepy crawlies, and great use of space in the apartment complex. Character development is not quite good enough to make the social commentary land, but it's more than enough to make this a fun thrill ride. Actually, maybe you SHOULD see it if you're afraid of spiders.


Outside Reviews:

3.5 out of 4 stars - rogerebert.com

For all its skin-crawling, “ew!”-inducing moments, “Infested” delivers the roller coaster thrills of a well-made horror movie. Maybe you dare yourself to watch this movie about something you fear, brace for the twist of venomous spiders that get bigger and feel a sense of relief of surviving that adrenaline rush. Vanicek’s first feature is an impressive debut, driven by an energetic fright, turning a worn-down apartment complex into a catacomb of spider webs, moving shadows and blocked escapes.
