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.

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

Good but wondered the entire film why they didn’t immediately call an exterminator.

This movie has a lot of the same beats as Arachnophobia but presents a cast of characters with few, if any, redeeming qualities. What should be a frightening dive into a group of people's attempt at survival against swarms of spiders turned into a group of people bickering about unrelated drama. When the house is on fire, it's time to get out, not resolve all of your past trauma with everyone you've ever loved/hated. The "drama" only exists because none of the characters are able to convey a thought that isn't an insult or whine. I just couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters, which makes sense. If you write your characters with only flaws, of course they're going to be insufferable. I'm not saying that Paris deserves to get destroyed by swarms of spiders, but that apartment building sure did.
