It takes an entire cast working together to make a movie this bad.
Probably a third of my DVD collection is composed of Horror/Fantasy/Science Fiction movies, with a growing number being direct to video. Some of those direct to video movies are pretty good. "Mimic" is one of my favorites. This one leaves a clear understanding why it never saw a big screen.
There is minimal plot (many good horror flicks have survived this); There is virtually no acting taking place (ok, so the genre isn't noted for Academy Award winning performances); the special effects, if that's what they are to be called, would embarrass an high school stage manager; and, well, there really is not a single thing to recommend this movie. The two most annoying aspects are the almost constant use of a fog machine, day and night, in what is supposed to be a public high school . . . and . . . the excessive use of slow motion which could have been eliminated and would have made this horrible (not horror) movie about a half hour shorter.
Be wiser than I, don't let this thing ever rotate across your optical laser.
