Invasão Mortal

There are not many things you could do to make this movie worse. This movie was so bad, I couldn't believe it. It wasn't scary at all, the acting was bad and so was the story, the special effects, the characters, even the title was ridiculous. If there was a book. I believe, they invented the movie while they produced it. Whoever you are that you read this: If you haven't seen this movie, don't watch it. Carnosaurus is a much better movie than the Killer Bee nightmare. At least those dinosaurs could kill someone. In contrary to those bees, not one of those morons died, even though I wished so badly for it :-(

Yet again, another one of those movies has returned. A film with the scenario of "Killer-animal(s)-stalks-people-as-they-struggle-to-survive". Using killer bees for the basis of this film, DEADLY INVASION begins with a head-scratcher of a message telling us that this film is based on something that MAY have actually happened.

Robert Hays, Nancy Stafford, Ryan Phillipe, and Dennis Christopher are the stars of this film that follows one family's struggle to survive against the deadly swarm while trapped inside their desolate farm house. I really enjoyed the film. I felt that it was very well put together and was pretty good. Not worthy of any awards or anything, but entertaining nonetheless. DEADLY INVASION is a film that is memorable in the genre, but otherwise, it is not. DEADLY INVASION gets 3/5.

Oh, and to everyone that complains that this movie is humorous, if you want humor, scroll to the bottom of this page and read the comment written by the annonymous user who calls this film two words that don't exist: Volkomen Kut?? Go ahead, read it...you will laugh yourself silly.

This is one of the finer works to come out of American cinema in the 1990's, and I am only happy to see it was not forgotten. For many years I felt that I had the only copy in existence having taped it from television in 1995, however it seems that this film that was shunned by North American video and theatrical attention has found a new audience overseas. I've not seen such brilliant suspense and drama since vintage Hitchcock and I'm afraid we will never again see films of this high class in the next millenium.

I WAS IN THIS MOVIE! As a teenager, a friend got me and my bandmates hired to play in the band that played at the outside wedding reception that the bees attacked! That's me in the red vest playing guitar and running into the house. That dork they showed playing lead guitar was dubbed in later.

Highlights were: Meeting Mr. Hays (I'm a fan of airplane), who was really nice to us musicians as he had a hobby of building custom guitars, and either dated or was married to a famous 80's rocker.

The Bee wrangler was nice and explained at great length how the queenless actor-hive had to be perpetually replenished. A bee vomited a blob of honey on my bandmates leather sleeve and I ate it.

It rained during the day and the guitar I used got wet and I felt it had gotten a little warpy- that very night I had a gig at the bar (snuck in as I wasn't 21), and I threw the guitar off the stage and smashed it at the climax of the show.

I saw the movie and liked looking for myself and the tunnel scene.

Note to all movie watchers- movies rule when your in them, no matter how bad they are.

Actually, I have seen this movie and even more, I was cast as an extra when they filmed it at my high school. It was kind of fun to see how things work behind the cameras. The finished product was just fantastic! I thought they did a very good job in locations and things like that. It was pretty cool to see my home-town depicted as a California community, even though I live a time zone away. My friends and I had a good time picking out where we were and how many times we appeared in the film. It was so much fun! I think the acting was perfect for a made for TV movie and the filming locations they used were utilized incredibly well. It gives movies a whole new aspect after you have spent time on the set. If you like thrillers, and b-type movies, give it a shot!
