Howard H 12/25/2023 Uninteresting plot however the two main characters piece together somewhat of a watch able film. See more 12/09/2011 hated this movie, don't want to see it again, I didn't like this movie, I expected better than that, will not watch again, it starred Mickey Rourke, I thought it was a crap movie and I don't want it on DVD See more 09/27/2010 If you are going to put this much time and energy into something, then it should be done right. If this was supposed to make you want to do something else other than watch this film, then it succeeded. See more 12/10/2009 Cock roaches are not my favorite thing on earth, so that made this film particularly unpleasant. It has a decent pace, but it is poorly written and the story is really stupid. Dumb. Some of the special effects are good, some just stink. See more 05/20/2009 They Crawl suffers from identity crisis. On one hand, the film wants to be a tongue-in-cheek killer cockroach flick, but on the other, it wants to be a crime drama. The film has a young man (Daniel Cosgrove) returning home from the military (preparing to be court marshaled) and finds that his younger brother has become distant from the world and deals in heavy drugs. When the brother mysteriously dies, Cosgrove is on the case, working with co-lead policewoman Tamara Davies. While the audience knows that most of the deaths are at the hands of cockroaches, the leads begin to suspect an infamous cult is behind the mayhem, namely one of its notorious members, played by pre-comeback Mickey Rourke (who still manages to command the screen, even at a whopping 5 minutes). The whole crime drama portion of this film is actually quite enjoyable and it kept my attention. It reminded me of a good Law & Order episode. However, the stuff involving the bugs and "horror" aspect was just plain BAD, especially when you get to the hilariously awful (intentional I would hope, but probably not) climax of the film involving the bugs turning into superbugs. Some small scale genre people show up briefly as well including Tim Thomerson (Dollman) and Grace Zabriskie (Galaxy of Terror). Overall, not a bad crime drama, but a terrible horror film. See more 10/25/2007 Very average slow moving sci fi/horror that really only gets interesting in the last 10mins. See more Read all reviews
