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.

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

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

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

The Wee Review

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

Rated: 3

Infested is bound to have viewers constantly checking their shoes and the dark corners of their own house for any eight legged beasties.

Rated: 5/5

There is more to this survival drama than creepy-crawlies – although, even as just a creature feature, Infested is tense and energetic.

Rated: 4/5

More than just your typical spider infestation movie. Quite the moments of “hurry! Run from those spiders! Faster!!!” Type of sitting on the edge of your seat. Overall decent story, wasn’t a bore for a foreign film.

The best horror movie of 2024; very probably until the release of Nosferatu (it released on my country this year, for me it's 2024, i don't care). This creature feature not only features the brawl, very well being the only horror movie of this year to actually scary me (and i don't even have arachnophobia); but it also has the brains, featuring amazing and effective social (and even personal) commentary that never feels out of place. The first 40 minutes or so are solely dedicated to introducing characters and developing them, and unlike many movies that try this and fail hard, this one does so with perfection, making you sympathze with a lot of them; i specially found the protagonist Kaleb to the very well written, realistic, and above all relatable.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

O filme tem uma direção brilhante, cortes precisos, uma filmagem que te deixa aflito, a fotografia e sonografia também muito ajustadas, contudo o roteiro eu achei um tanto atravessado, principalmente nos diálogos, as atuações dos personagens não tão interessantes quanto o proposto.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This was a good, scary, logical movie for a long time then just cascades into stupidity. The decisions of the characters at the end makes no sense which is a bummer as the first 2/3s of the movie are good with some good scares. You could tell they couldn't figure out how to end it

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Fun watch! This could have easily been a rather campy movie, but it was well-acted and had good scares.
