Surprisingly good for a TV movie


Seeing this advertised on Sky One made me think oh god that looks awful! Why would Robert Englund degrade himself? I was very surprised despite not an original story it was quite enjoyable and Robert was great in it for a TV flick.

i just watched this on satellite and it was alright. it kept me somewhat entertained for 1.5 hours lol.. some of the acting is horrendous as well as some of the characters know more information than they should, like for example at one point the lead female sheriff character says "so and so died, and now the mayor is dead" although up to that point in the movie she hadnt seen the mayor at all to know he had died. we know he has, but she doesnt! anyways, other than lots of stuff like that and some horrible acting at times, the insect aspect kept me watching. kind of stupid ending, but oh well bugs killing people will always catch my eye.

also robert englund is BY FAR the best actor in this movie, in fact i was surprised, he was great, everyone else around him was *beep* tho, other than the young girl she wasnt too bad either.

Huh??? "the young girl she wasnt too bad either." You're kidding me, right?!I was hoping the wasps would get her before the end of it!! In fact, everyone should have bit the dust- that's how moronic this film was!! I was rooting for the wasps!!!

I taped this off the SciFi Channel and finally got around to watching it this week end.For a Sci Fi flick it was actually pretty enjoyable and I'm sort of disappointed there are so many that didn't like it.

I agree, compared to a lot of the syfy movies this was actually near the top.

I thought the same thing, not sure why everyone hates it

I thought it had the makings of a good flick. First half was pretty cool. Nice setting, decent story, decent acting.

Second half kind of fell apart though.

No, it was absolute crap . And the main characters were freaking annoying. The deputy was an incompetent whore, her kid a cuntface brat and her boyfriend a dumbass loser. They should've died.
