Infested

Even with some of the most divisive reviews of the franchise, I wanted to catch this to prepare for an eventual Evil Dead Burn watch.  *cue French rap music* ACCAB. All Creepy Crawlies (and Cops) Are Bastards. If I had a nickel for every time I watched a horror movie in 2026 that unexpectedly began in the desert, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice. Films this one reminded me of: - La Haine (Kassovitz) - Shivers (Cronenberg) - The Host (Bong) - The Raid (Evans) - Dredd (Garland/Travis) Was on edge almost the ENTIRE runtime. Giant spiders got me screaming no and getting my dog riled up. Ending surprised me with its poignancy. Hate they killed the dog though :(.
