Hey now, we're aware another, more famous arachnid done had a Brand New Day at the domestic box office earlier this summer but we're talking about a different kind of spider on today's episode of ScaryCrit! Sébastien Vaniček returns to the forefront as we bravely endured his 2023, creepy-crawly debut Infested.
Filmed with real spiders and feeling as fresh as it was frightening, we put this many-legged horror on full display for y'all, from Sébastien's stylish signature shots, the double-sided themes, and how the scares were expertly rooted in the authentic.
So get your bug spray, shoes, small glasses and shoeboxes—ScaryCrit is crawling outta some speakers near you!
