Joe Bob Briggs United Press International If I had to guess, they were going for a combination of Ridley Scott's "Alien," Jack Arnold's "Creature from the Black Lagoon," and the Zucker Brothers "Airplane" -- and, by God, they succeeded! Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 24, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member SCORPIONS! Noooooooooo! Just about every animal has been genetically mutated into a killing machine in cinema but Tail Sting, packs little venom behind it, making for a drab straight-to-disc creature feature. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Could be titled "Scorpions on a Plane meets Airport" Low budget, but it doesn't look to bad. The score is a real mix of bad and good. Not very suspenseful, poorly acted and thats what hurts the film the most, but not everone is bad. . Very predictable nonsense. The special effects are not very good and the scorpions are really lame. The touches of humor are very welcome. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is 100 percent funny, not sure if its supposed to be but it was a riot. A drive in type film that just made me laugh from start to finish. Scorpions are being brought back from South American, when someone gets in cargo hold to find out what the good Dr is bringing back, of course they get out of jars and grown into giant scorpions and run a muck on the plane. Its just a fun movie. Don't expect to much, go in looking for a laugh. 4 Stars been a long time since I laugh this hard. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Nog det sämsta jag sett. Fantastiskt uselt film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh my god, this could be the most amazing thing ever committed to film. Bad script, bad acting, bad sets, and the ever-present dude with the boom mike who manages to make it into almost every shot. A pure cheese classic. If you like to laugh at awesomely bad things, check this out, you won't be disappointed. Pure fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheesy script-writing. Mediocre acting. Totally weird visuals. I bet you could spot more spoofs faster than you can count to 100! I'd give it two stars plainly for its attempted humor.
