Plot: Kaleb loves exotic animals, but when he purchases a badass spider he has no idea what he's getting himself into. The little creature escapes his confines and finds a perfect breeding place in the runtime apartment building. Within no time its offspring are taking over the building and they're coming after its inhabitants.

3.5*/5.0*

Simple but incredibly effective horror entertainment. The premise is as basic as can be (a building gets overrun with lethal spiders), but the little creature looks pretty badass and director Vaniček keeps the pace high while providing some memorable thrills and action scenes. This is core genre entertainment.

The performances are pretty good and the setting is perfect for this type of film. There's plenty of cannon fodder and the spiders spread like wildfire (while also getting a lot bigger, thriving in their new environment). People with arachnophobia will have a hard time with Infested, but that's exactly what you want from a film like this. Great fun.
