Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe visually striking buildings where the action is set have not been created for the movie; these are the Picasso arenas in Noisy-le-Grand, near Paris, designed by architect Manuel Núñez Yanowsky in the 80s.
- GoofsWhen TN is feeling the effects of the spider bite, he is seen wearing one of the new shoes. Prior to being bit he was wearing no shoes. He would not have put on the right shoe after being attacked/poisoned.

Featured review
Derivative, but good effort. A bit stupid.
The dismissed and discriminated poor, but courageous French youth battling insanely poisonous and fast replicating spiders in one of the buildings at some city periphery is a clear mashup between two well established genres. The result is mediocre, with a slow setup that makes little sense, a lot of characters that had no reason to exist and others that were ignored - hah, ironic! - too much and a plot that is as full of holes as a burst spider eggs sac. The special effects were good, the acting was decent. It was the script that was the problem, especially the ending.
Bottom line: this film could have achieved much more with much less. As such we got way too many spiders and way too little character development. The ending was atrocious, pretty much invalidating a lot of the good stuff that happened before (or validating the bad stuff), then veering in a nonsensical feel good ending. Decent effort, but ultimately failed.
