Insecticidal

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.

Described as a horror B-movie, Insecticidal is a rather tame film in tone and in terms of violence and gore. It is entirely silly, cheesy and ultimately predictable. Perhaps a throwback to those 1980's films.

The characters aren't bad, but are entirely the stereotypical type we would seen in these sorority women films. Also, noticed how all the main women characters' names ends in "i". Cami, Josi, Sophi, Fumi, Jeni, Twisti, Belli. Not to nitpick but what was the purpose of this. As it wasn't mentioned. Or are we just to assume those were their "sorority sister" alias names?

The CGI giant bugs look fake and are never menacing or threatening. This film doesn't take itself serious which perhaps benefits it.

It is rated R due to its brief few nude scenes, though without them, everything else is reduced and feels that of a PG-13 film. Reminded of those 2000's teen drama/comedies tv series.

Not exactly worthwhile but its "more fun and relaxed" tone makes it entertaining at times, all be it predictable.

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.

With so-called 'special' effects that may very well rival "the Thing Below", this tale of giant intelligent bugs that terrorize sorority girls is bad in every possible way. The acting's awful, the plot's overtly stupid, and the aforementioned special effects make the whole thing laughable, if not for the fact that you'll be too depressed that you've wasted about an hour and a half on this garbage. Even nudity can't save this from falling into the abyss of the dreaded DVD bargain bin. Not that bargain can be used in any connotation when referring to this movie. No matter which way you slice it, simply dreadful. Good thing that Director Jeffery Lando holds three citizenships, become this film (and his others) are so bad that his American should be revoked.

My Grade: F

Eye Candy: the unfortunately named Chris Guy shows everything she's got; Rhonda Dent shows T&A; Anna Farrant and Natalia Tudge just show tits

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")
