French creature feature Infested delivers the creepy-crawly kicks promised by its title, although its human elements don’t really go anywhere. Read full review

Even as it comes awfully close to overstaying its welcome just a bit, much like the spiders in the home of the characters, it very quickly grows on you. Read full review

If Infested suffers from anything, it's that Vaniček makes its characters and themes too real, and the monsters can't keep up. Read full review
