Truly Dreadful Film
the audience applauded
Good concept, poorly executed.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
I love the actors/actresses in this and I think this movie,if you watch it from a non critical manner you can have fun with it.Sure its far from great,or even good but I do agree,I have seen a lot worst.In fact I have seen a lot of stupid comedies that have nothing to do with bugs and I couldn't even watch part of it,let alone the whole thing.I have read hundreds of comments on hundreds of movies and there is always a few commenting that will say this or that movie was the worst,it sucked,it was terrible,etc,etc..Why do people have to be so critical of a movie.Its only a movie.Lighten up people and take the movie for what it is and many more like it.In fact you could sit back and have a good hard laugh with it.In its own way,I like this movie.
not much more to be said that hasn't already. incredibly sub-par performances mixed with terrible special effects, storyline, etc. Probably my favorite things about this movie are the crazy old man randomly peering into the girls window with no explanation or reason and the amazing transformation that these mutant cockroaches make. they start out as earthworms then transform into giant African millipedes and finish their life cycle as madigascan hissing cockroaches. AMAZING it took me most of the movie to figure out that they were all the same thing and not just an infestation of multiple species. anyway if you love to watch groaners like me you should really love this and if you find it it won't be much more then the dollar that it is well worth.
It takes unbelievable talent to make a film as bad as this. I watched this, transfixed, for 90 minutes, wondering how it could be done.Think about it. Take good actors and make them look like complete amateurs. You can't just stick them in front of the camera and expect them to act like that. You have to tell them to wave their arms around like complete morons, or tell them to speak in a stupified monotone.Each scene was carefully planned. Dumbfound the audience by leaving them wondering whether it was comedy or horror. I'm not sure that the director knew himself. But that is all part of the genius.The script is the piece de resistance. It's reminiscent of "Springtime for Hitler" in the Producers. The audience is supposed to think that it's complete rubbish, and boy does it work!! The romantic lead in the film does rather give things away. If you watch (not too closely) you can detect that he is trying to hold back laughter as he and the others deliver their fabulous lines.The photography and editing are also suitably terrible. The opening minute sets the scene for the whole film, but gives no clue as to how bad things can get.I spent 90 absolutely wonderful minutes watching this complete nonsense and have not had a better time in ages. My congratulations to everybody involved.
yes, this is worse than plan 9 from out of space. this one tops attack of the killer tomatoes. this film is so inept, so bad, so god awful....i laughed all the way through it, hilariously horrificlly bad! scotty from star trek was definitely stoned the entire way through making this film. i believe the script writers first langauge was not english, the songs were also written by him...they were...odd....and the whole film was just so unbelievably bad...like shockingly bad. a must see!
