Review of Infestation (2009) by Kevin S — 10 Apr 2010

Slacker Cooper (FANBOYS? Chris Marquette) returns to his office to clear out his desk after being fired when a strange phenomenon causes him to black out. Awakening he?s nauseous, weak, covered in webbing and hanging from the ceiling! Struggling out of his slimy prison, he comes face to face with what was responsible ? a Giant Bug.

Oversize insects have suddenly taken over the world and those humans the swarm isn?t using for food are being turned into hideous half-spider monsters. Taking charge of a rag-tag group of survivors Cooper heads for the nest to destroy the colossal pests breeding within.

But will they make it safely before being picked off one by one by the flying, jumping, scuttling and lethal eight-legged freaks? Writer/director Kyle Rankin?s top-ranking comedy horror is an enormously entertaining and fun creature feature with ace special effects continually propelling the inventively shudder-some creepy-crawly action.
