For many, a single spider is enough to send one into a terror-induced fugue state; hundreds of thousands of them facing off with the residents of a French apartment block could spell certain death for certain viewers.

Kaleb, a street-smart hustler with a passion for exotic animals, unwittingly unleashes chaos when he brings home an unusual spider named Rihanna. As the neighborhood is overrun by Rihanna’s deadly offspring, Kaleb and his neighbors find themselves in a desperate battle for survival against the relentless arachnids.

Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, INFESTED offers a fresh and subversive twist on the creature feature genre, placing the horrific action in one of Paris’s low-income banlieues. 

With its smartly crafted narrative – with occasional nods to ALIEN – and gleefully gory thrills, INFESTED is a must-watch for horror fans craving a truly visceral experience.
