Synopsis
La Haine meets Arachnophobia in Sébastien Vani ek’s electrifying feature debut, with a socially charged monster movie guaranteed to set the audience's teeth on edge. Kaleb is a 30-year-old loner with a penchant for exotic animals, but when he brings home an unusual breed of spider, it promptly escapes into his housing estate and multiplies at an alarming rate. Before long, the entire neighbourhood is infested with giant, disgusting arachnids, weaving a web of late-night terror super-charged by a poignant commentary about attitudes towards immigration in present day France.
