Is there a satirical point here? Parallels we can draw with real life? Lessons to learn? ... This movie doesn't even seem to have a point of view. Go to Full Review
Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 12/08/2021
If it had a tighter plot, I'd say it's a commentary on terrorism, but it's so delightfully sloppy that it's best viewed as a how-to against product placement. Seriously, the product placement in this film is insane. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 27 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Nick O May 28 Make sure you don’t leave any food sittin’ out during this big bug, gross out monster comedy gem. See more Jeremy G 09/17/2024 This is a decent film, with a middle of the road plot and a good cast. It falls short in many elements, such as event music and a sad intro. I feel the special effects were par for the times and the overall story and script were very well executed and interesting. It's a cult classic that should have been. Watch it where you can and judge for yourself. There are far worse filmes streaming today and this movie deserves more attention. See more Jon L @JonLunatic 04/08/2024 Perfectly campy humor of of the 90’s. Hadn’t watched this since I was a kid but now I’m able to appreciate the humor of bugs living in middle class America and becoming corrupted by all the shenanigans that are still relatable to the 2020’s. See more Wendy T 12/30/2023 This movie is WEIRD. It's 90s quirky, feels like a low budget strange practical effects monster movie BUT it makes you feel bad for and sympathize with the "monsters". If you're a fan old school monster movies, give this one a try - if you can find it. I've been hunting for years. See more Demented N 09/13/2023 Trys to hard to be odd and obscure when in hindsight it's just a hot mess of random Monologues and monolithic acting See more Read all reviews
