Great film
Great little 80s monster movie with plenty of schlock. The cast are all great, not least of all Lisa Langlois who is an absolute angel and at her sexiest in this flick. Check out her arse as she enters the cave!The Blu-ray itself is fantastic: Picture quality's great and so is the audio. There aren't many extras, but who the hell needs them?! I often find they detract from the movie by divulging far too much info that you didn't need to know.Buy this now! You WILL NOT be disappointed. Lisa Langlois is a babe!

fly by night filler
this is another from my ancient collection of 80's horror. A bug- fest of the "Revenge of nature" cycle of movies out there. Its body horror on a thrifty budget. Totally 80's in style where the bad guys wear white lab coats and the local cops are the heroes. The big transformation at the end is a rather scrawny version of Jeff Goldblum's metamorphosis in "The Fly". Its a tad slow in places but well made enough to keep your interest till the final reel of flesh crawling carnage. Its got nothing new to offer the genre but if you like creature features it should raise a knowing smile from your jaded visages. Dont expect kafka though. thanks!!

Awful lead characters
Well here's another re-watch that is heading straight to the recycle box. I love creature flicks like everyone else, but when your lead male character is a cheating piece of crud I'm sorry I can't get behind it or him.The guy, the town's cop, is clearly seeing a local girl who runs the local cafe. At one point her father asks our 'hero' if he is going to marry his daughter. The response is, 'I like her a lot'. Yeah....right....When our 'hero's' ex turns up that's it, he's all over her and it's a downward spiral as we head to the inevitable; yes they both end up in bed about 50 ish minutes into the film. She has turned up and clearly knows what she wants, and how to get it. It's amazing that the cop is also there to meet our wonderful (vomit) female lead character............Meanwhile our poor girlfriend at the cafe is soon to discover her father is a victim of the killer bugs.As soon as I saw this sickening pair of scumbags in bed that was more than enough for me. How can you enjoy a film when our 'hero' is a lying, cheating piece of trash?

Great is the man who, in adulthood, keeps the heart of an (eighties) child!
This is in many ways the same movie as the relatively more successful Mimic, only made years earlier. As much as I consider Guillermo Del Toro's job a whole lot more stylized and "hip," as it is the case with most of his movies including The Shape of Water, his "version" feels too pretentious and pre-digested for an audience who wants to feel more intelligent,"empowered" and concerned about "relevant issues" by watching award-winning films by somebody from the "minority," finally getting a break in Hollywood. On the other hand, this little monster flick comes from a long tradition to which schlock classics such as Food of the Gods, Killer Shrews and countless others belong, it shows and, telling by how formulaic the unfolding of the story is and how the characters are cast from the same old mold as its predecessors (mad doctor and all included), is not ashamed of it. However, it did a hell of a better job in grossing me out, as much as it did back when I rented the videotape. As someone who grew up in the eighties and being such a skeptical in repackaging the same product for a "new generation," I say "why fix it if it ain't broke?"The only upgrade I dig is the transfer into blu-ray. That does beat my old, worn out VHS copy by a long shot, even if there's only an audio comment by none other than the director himself. Keep them coming!

It's horrific. It's cheap. It's disgusting. I LOVE IT !!!!!!
Robert Lansing heads up an otherwise nondescript cast. This is one of the ultimate INSECT FEAR movies. Mutant bugs chew through the cast. That's OK. But the climax gets all John Carpenter's The Thing on us in a wicked turn of events. That scene alone is worth the price of admission. This film predates the Mimic series by decades and packs every bit the punch for the bucks. Sure, it's gross. Maybe even tasteless. But hey,Corman gave us Humanoids From The Deep too! The man knows how to pick 'em! Right? Forget the haters and have wickedly good time of shameless gross out fun. So crack a six pack with some friends on a slow night, or a lazy afternoon, and get all bug eyed with this one. And,,,, it's in color!
