Critic Reviews

  • Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com

    Dumb, dumb horror flick on C level starring killer bugs.

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    If you can accept how ridiculous, improbable and stupid it is, you might find it as satisfying as spraying Raid on a roach.

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    The sluggish direction by Jeannot Szwarc keeps the events a little too serious, making the hollow dialogue sound even phonier.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    Really funny -- not on purpose -- sci-fi thriller.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Truth in advertising. It's about bugs ... and it bugged me.
