A scene from ‘Infestation’

The world has been suddenly taken over by legions of giant insects. The how, why and when are lost in the damaged minds of the cocooned human masses. The future of the slumbering victims are unfortunately left in the hands of perennial slacker Cooper, who wakes up during the aftermath of the invasion.

Written and directed by Kyle Rankin (“Battle Of Shaker Heights”), this action survivor film with a heavy dose of comedy, produced by Bruce Davey (“The Passion Of The Christ,” “Apocalypto”), Jeff Balis (“Waiting”), Rhoades Rader (“Dodgeball”), and TJ Sakasegawa (“Lake Placid 2”), stars Christopher Marquette, Brooke Nevin, and Ray Wise.

The creative production team includes accomplished cinematographer Thomas Ackerman (“Beetlejuice”), production designer Kess Bonnett “(Return To House On Haunted Hill”) and edited by academy award® nominee David Finfer (“The Fugitive”).

Cooper, awakes to find himself nauseous, weak and covered in webbing, hanging from the ceiling of an office where, just minutes ago, he started his new job. As he struggles out of his slimy prison he comes face to face with his opponent – a grotesque, powerful and very angry bug. All 3 ft of it. And so begins a hideous, nail-biting, comedic, all-action adventure to find a safe haven while constantly outwitting an infestation of monstrous proportions. As Cooper embarks on his journey, he befriends a ragtag group of survivors including Sara, a feisty attractive female. Although the situation is dire, Cooper can’t help himself from trying to solve his dating problem while trying to save his life. Will they make it to safety before they are picked off one by one? And what other surprises are in store for our group of unlikely heroes?

“Infestation,” is now showing in Metro Manila theaters.
