Hello and welcome to another episode of The French Cinema Roll Podcast.

I'm your host Georgia, and in today's episode, we explore how Vermines (Infectedin English), a claustrophobic creature-feature set in a Parisian banlieue overrun by deadly spiders, uses the act of killing spiders as an allegorical lens for examining social decay, neglected communities, and systemic abandonment.

Far from being just a survival horror film, Vermines constructs a layered metaphor where the infestation mirrors societal neglect, poverty, and marginalization—and the violence it provokes.

If you like contemporary French cinema and spiders, this is a perfect movie for you !

So enjoy the episode and see you on the next one !

Cheers

G;-)
