While shes busy refurbishing their old apartment to sell after the death of their mother, Kalebs future is less certain, and although many in his orbit think the worst of a hoodiewearing young man with a side hustle of selling highpriced Nike shoes, he still tries to do whats right for his neighbors. However, his passion for housing rare species by his bedside brings chaos into the apartment complex when a poisonous spider escapes and begins to lay its eggs throughout the building, leaving Kaleb, Manon, and their friends Mathys (Jrme Niel), Jordy (Finnegan Oldfield) and Lila (Sofia Lesaffre) to fight for their lives. Our collective fear of spiders has manifested into its own horror subgenre. That includes the 1955 giant bug classic "Tarantula," deadly spider infestation in a smalltown thrillers like Kingdom of the Spiders and "Arachnophobia, the early aughts Blockbuster favorite "Eight Legged Freaks" and the aptly named "Big Ass Spider!" that followed kaijusized monsters quite simply too big to contain. Like its predecessors, Infestation taps into our fear (rational and irrational) about poisonous bites, quick moving spider colonies that set up webs over our homes, spiders becoming too big or deadly to control, and the unpredictability of their behavioras any kid tasked with killing a spider could attest. But Infested feels somehow more intense as the threat is not just poisonous spiders or spiders of unusual sizeits that they are simultaneously growing exponentially almost every time you see them on screen, they attack in packs, and their bite is pretty lethal. They will take up residence in a hosts body then crawl out of their victims skin. They capture others in their webs or conquer them in their own homes.
