This film is for those of you who like the ingredients of Sci-Fi mixed with horror and a sprinkle of comedy. The wonderfully written and directed storyline keeps you involved and begging for more. The actors brilliantly bring the characters into reality and the special effects are first-rate. This film is a definite `must see'.
I saw this bad boy at Flashback Weekend in Chicago area. It looked like it had a good budget so it looked nice but it was an awful film. The acting was horrible and the direction seemed off at times but on at others. But the budget seemed to be big. The effects weren't that great either which is big in this type of film. I wouldn't give it another minute of my time so if the end of the world comes and this is the only movie left to watch then I'm killing myself.
i watched this movie at the flashbacks horror convention in park ridge il at the pickwick theater and it was really nice. its about these people that dump toxic waste in a desert and these scorpions get into it and turn in to huge 6 foot mutant scorpions. then they go around and kill people and these young adults in a mental home get blamed for it. the gore is good, as allways is in a bookwalter movie. when this bad boy comes out, buy it. 7 out of 10
Sorry to say this was not a homage to anything. The storyline was very poorly written with dialogue sounding like a middle school play. The characters are seriously annoying with zero likeability, with no charms to gain viewer sympathy, The main protagonist, the halfway house director is shrill, nasty and rude with none of the qualities of a analyst or counselor and the chief suspect is worthy of suspicion due to his utterly lack of believability, he seems like a potential gruesome ax murderer. The other "patients" are overplayed characters right out of every old stereotype of a deranged pyscho. Very disappointing and a real let down of my hopes and expectations for this film.
This site claims that this movie is a comedy and an homage to the old giant bug movies from the 50s. It's far from being either. You only know it's supposed to be funny because they play whimsical music when you are supposed to laugh. Trust me, you won't laugh. The only thing it has in common with any 50s giant bug movie is that the "heroes" are very unlikely. The few funny things in this movie weren't even intended to be funny. The first victim has potted trees in his front yard, so they could return them after the shoot. And the sheriff wants to get a search warrant to make people talk to him. That's not how search warrants work. The end doesn't even make any sense. Nothing gets resolved. This is not the type of movie anybody should be watching.
