Insecticidal

Sophomoric, amateurish, pathetic, cheesy, junky, lame, boring, second-rate garbage is what is in store for you in this super-dumb dork fest of a low budget film that uses computer graphics that seem to have been done on a commodore 64 for the monsters. It's beyond lame kiddos. Watch this if you want to damage your brain.

PLOT: Spraying raid on some bugs makes them turn into giant monsters. The monsters look like crappy computer graphics from a 3rd rate video game.

THere isn't much else to say about this other than the women in this movie are also 3rd rate in the looks dept.

The fun factor is huge and that's is what matter. I liked the story and the talented Meghan Heffern, the actress who played the role of "Cami"in Insecticidal. I think the effects are not the crucial point to make a good movie. The concept of good movies is subjective. There are movies with great story and bad effects and so the opposite. I founded the DVD here in Brazil and enjoyed, the image quality is not bad. I'm a B-movie and horror movie fanatical and does not get disappointed. When i think one movie is not good, i don't want to see it again and it's not the cause with this gem. I will see it again. The Japanese girl is amazing too. I wished the movie could have at least 120 minutes, to get more fun. Do not skip this, the bugs are fun and pesky.

This was Jeffery Scott Lando first attempt to direct a flick. Well, he already made his name by making a turkey. Let me clear it out for you, the story is as simple as it can be but it's the use of CGI that makes it a turkey. Even the attacks by the bugs are off-screen, so you only see some puss flying around or hitting the actors.

And let me go in on the acting, it's lesser than mediocre by some. The girl (Rhonda Dent) changing into a so-called bug is exaggerating in her acting. Just watch when she's eating a human corpse. If it was to be a comedy I would go buy that kind of acting but here, sorry, no can do. The best part was in fact the main lead Cami (Meghan Heffern), she did well as the nerdy girl and look, she went on to do The Fog and Chloe. The rest all disappeared into bad flicks or stopped acting.

But I guess they all knew that it wasn't what it was to be so there is a shower scene were we have gratuitous nudity full shaved frontal. Further we have some kinky chick getting into SM but naturally they all got attacked by the bugs. Maybe the best ones were the slugs, if they all could have looked like them then it could have been great. But the SyFy look of the bugs teared this flick really into a turkey. There's almost no blood in it and if it does it isn't scary or gory on any part. One to see with your friends and having big fun with the stupidity of the blonds, the nudity and the over-sized bugs of Samantha McLeod.

To say this "movie" is awful is not enough. Too bad that IMDb does not contain negative numbers to rate this piece of trash. I originally thought at least prepubescent boys might like this movie for the female eye candy but looking at the laughable CGI I think they would hate this movie also. The plot is lame, acting is so bad where the "reality shows" are Oscar material compared to this. Did I mentioned the special effects or lack of? The CGI looks like it were done not on a Commodore 64, like the above commenter mentioned, but on a Tandy TRS-80. Especially the Praying Mantis, it looks like someone did not even bothered to look at an insect book, an Animal Planet documentary, or even the old b&w sci-fi movie, THE DEADLY MANTIS, to get an accurate rendition of the a praying mantis. Imagine a crudely drawn bug (ala 5 yo kid) with a Kermit the Frog head and you pretty much get the idea how bad the mantis was "created". I think everyone involved made this movie for some film class they are taking at the college they maybe attending. I can not believe they took themselves seriously when they made this barf bag of a film. I just want to say to future film students watch this as a lesson IN NOT WHAT MAKE and you will live a long happy life.

Cami (Meghan Heffern) is a dedicated student of etymology that is researching insects in her sorority house. When her sorority sister Josi (Rhonda Dent) sprays insecticide on her bugs, Cami becomes upset. But sooner she learns that the insects had grown bigger and bigger and her sister and she are under siege of the insects. Further, Josi is the host of the breed of mutant insects that are very hungry.

"Insecticidal" is a B-movie with all the elements of this type of film: hot naked girls, terrible dialogs, awful story and acting, poor special effects and lots of gore and spittle. Therefore, it is only recommended for fans of trash movies. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Inseticida" ("Insecticidal")
