Infested

About This Movie

So, 'Infested' is an interesting little piece from 2002. The atmosphere is thick with dread, almost like the walls are closing in as those creepy-crawlies start doing their thing. You really feel the tension build as the characters realize what's happening. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it kind of works in its favor—gives you time to stew in the fear before it hits you. Practical effects are decent for the budget; they really lean into the body horror aspect, and it’s not shy about showcasing the grim fate of its victims. While the performances are not groundbreaking, they’re adequate enough to pull you into the narrative. It’s a unique exploration of fear, using insects as a metaphor for something deeper, if you catch my drift.
