I'm French and I saw Vermines (or Infested as it's apparently known in English) in theater several months ago. I think it's my new favourite horror movies about spiders, alongside with Arachnophobia. This film was brilliantly made. It might even be in my top 10 French horror movies from the last decade, and definitely my favourite horror films from 2023. I loved the double-meaning and symbolism of spiders in the movie, used for social commentary and as a metaphor for discrimination. It was a very character-oriented movie, which is relatively rare in the animal-attack genre. I also really liked the way spiders are treated in this movie, as victims who react to this new "hostile" environment they were brought in, and defend themselves against the potential threat humans are. It was quite well done and the dialogues of the characters around it were pretty well written. On top of that, the movie was incredibly effective when it comes to scare factor. I also felt that watching in theater was a plus, cause the big screen really immerged me in this building and made the climax pretty intense.
I love this take on Infested (Vermines), and am super jealous you were able to see it in the theater! I can't wait to see a French take on the Evil Dead franchise from this Director as well
I've just seen Sting which was ok but I got a little bored in some moments but Infested had me on my seat the whole time and I've watched it 3 times now, since arachnophobia it's got to be my absolute fave creature flick, and as an Aussie the huntsman spiders in it were immediately recognisable also the director said in an interview that they used at least 200 real spiders, good review man.
Thanks, man! Definitely agree, I was looking forward to Sting and hadn't heard much about Infested beforehand. Infested turned out to be one of the best surprises of the year so far.
@@WatchWithCT no problem but yeah i just love spider movies and ok maybe the formula's been worked to death but something about it felt really fresh, and it still managed to creep me out real well, now when I'm in my bathroom I look up at my ceiling vents and shudder a little and speaking of Shudder is amazing
