“Sébastien Vanicek manages to make spiders scary enough that even people who aren’t afraid of these animals start to tremble. ‘Infestation’ is this generation’s ‘Arachnophobia,’ and its blunt political commentary helps elevate its narrative.” (THN)

“A hugely entertaining instant classic – this is a very ingenious, energetic and humorous killer animal film.” (Variety)

“The mix of real spiders and those created with CGI results in a horror story that will take your breath away, raise the hairs on the back of your neck and make you squirm in your seat.” (Movies and Munchies)

“There are no new ideas in this chilling French horror, but this first feature directed by Sébastien Vanicek unfolds with so much vitality and purpose that its shortcomings are easily forgivable.” (The New York Times)

“This French production offers bone-chilling scares and a dignified presentation that elevates its typical B-movie material.” (Deep Focus Review)
