On the brink of 30, Kaleb faces unparalleled loneliness, estranged from his sister and best friend over an inheritance dispute. His fascination with exotic creatures leads him to a venomous discovery — a spider that soon turns his flat into a terrifying webbed prison.
Shudder will debut the movie via their streaming platform in the US.
Also known as Vermines “Vermin” or Vermin: The Plague.
Filmed in Paris, France.
The feature film directorial debut of Sébastien Vaniček, who was quoted saying: “The idea was always to make a movie that’s worth your ticket, a spectacle worth showing up for. To make a film to blow your mind, your ears, and to hit you in the gut. It’s also a very personal film which depicts French suburbs I know, far from the eeriness of the auteur films or the caricature of the comedies. It’s a genre film that shakes you to your core, moves you, makes you shiver, because it seems to me that through emotions you end up concerned and involved.”
This movie reportedly features real spiders.
This is a French horror movie.
Vermines arrived in French Cinemas on December 27, 2023.
Infested premiered on Shudder and AMC+ on April 26, 2024.
