Infestation

The audience's emotional response to 'Infestation (2009)' is primarily driven by its comedic and action-adventure nature. **Humor** is a dominant emotion, stemming from the film's lighthearted approach to a monstrous bug invasion. This is strongly complemented by **Excitement** and **Anticipation** as the hero, Cooper, and his ragtag group navigate the dangerous, infested world, constantly outwitting grotesque creatures. Moments of success and comedic relief contribute to feelings of **Joy** and **Happiness**. Despite the comedic tone, the constant threat of being 'picked off one by one' by the 'hideous' bugs generates a notable degree of **Anxiety**, **Disgust** (from the slimy, grotesque creatures), and a moderated sense of **Fear**. **Surprise** is also present, particularly from Cooper's initial awakening and unexpected encounters, while **Relief** and **Satisfaction** are felt when the survivors manage to escape or outsmart their opponents.
