Nestle down and adjust your expectations for one of the insanenest moving pictures you'll see in your button-down life. This proto-Arachnophobia will have you bugging out and checking your bed for creepy crawlies. Or maybe you'll just sigh and think, "So it's come to this."
Blonde woman returns to her small island hometown and reklindles a romance with her highschool sweetheart, the sheriff. But turns out the island is experiencing a roach problem. And these aren't like the roaches that infest my kitchen in droves because my crazy roommate stores old newspapers in the cupboards and doesn't wipe off the counter. No. These are aggressive flesh-eating roaches, born of an experiment being carried on by one of those evil corporations. Can our courageous couple put an end to these preternatural pests?!
This movie is sub-Roger Corman. The non-roach parts are "tedious. Very tedious." And contrary to the poster, the roaches are normal size. There may've been some minor animal cruelty to get certain shots, and the sheriff isn't likable for a few reasons. There is a pay-off, in the last 30 minutes which I won't spoil except to say that what the roaches kill becomes a roach hybrid. And those parts are cool. Oops. I spoiled it. 90 minutes. B movie horror.
I give it 4.4 out 10 boom shaka lakas!
