A movie about killer roaches with overtones of "The Thing" and maybe "Mimic". No computer-generated effects and all the actors play their parts with a straight face, so it's creepier and more believable than you'd expect. Too bad it had to be roaches instead of some other bug. Nobody wants to look at roaches, so a truly worthwhile shocker remains largely unknown.
