First feature film by Sébastien Vaniček, the film takes place in a city building. The story revolves around 30-year-old Kaleb. Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a poisonous spider and accidentally lets it escape. The inhabitants will then have to fight for their survival.

The first images revealed above promise us a scary horror film as possible. When the project was announced, Pierre Mazars, co-founder of the Charades production company which co-produced the film alongside WTFilms, declared to Variety : “It’s a project we’ve all been waiting for: a French spider film fueled by the energy of an immensely talented young director. This is a film that can revolutionize the genre and which has the capacity to address the general public as well as movie buffs.”.
