What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Cooper and the survivor group repeatedly confront gigantic, grotesque insects in an exaggerated but dangerous survival scenario.
The story begins with Cooper trapped and web-covered inside the office where he has just started working, before expanding into a wider infestation.
The film combines monstrous insects, desperate escapes, ragtag survivors, and comedic adventure in an intentionally heightened genre package.
Cooper befriends Sara and other unlikely survivors who must work together to reach safety while being picked off by the infestation.
