Arachnophobes (read = in this case, people with common sense), look away now, because the first trailer for Sébastien Vaniček’s Infested (Vermines) has crawled to screens. The nightmarish trailer for this upcoming spider horror movie comes courtesy of Shudder, ahead of an April 26th, 2024 release date.

You might remember our mentioning this film recently, when news emerged that Vaniček had been selected to direct the next instalment in the Evil Dead film franchise. Well, Infested is the film that landed him this hot gig.

Infested (Vermines) made its North American premiere at Fantastic Fest recently, having debuted at Venice Film Festival, and will release on Shudder from April 26th. The French-Moroccan film follows “Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend. Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally let it slip away.” It isn’t long before the residents of a rundown French apartment building are forced to battle against an army of deadly, rapidly reproducing spiders.

Théo Christine, Finnegan Oldfield, Jérôme Niel, Sofia Lesaffre and Lisa Nyarko star. Florent Bernard and Sébastien Vaniček wrote the screenplay.

Watch the trailer below, ahead of the film’s April 26th release on Shudder.
