Infested

Infested leans into trapped-space horror, using an apartment block and a swarm of spiders to keep the pressure tight instead of broad. By our assessment, that simple setup is its real strength: it turns a familiar creature-fear into something physical and close, with very little room to breathe. The trade-off is that the idea is so direct that character depth and surprise have to work harder to keep up. In practice, this kind of film is about tension, recoil, and the small bad decision made while something is skittering under the furniture. As a horror entry from 2023, it sits more with contained creature movies than with elaborate supernatural puzzles. It works best for people who want stress and momentum, not for viewers looking for deep mystery or a slow-burn mood piece.
