Inseticida

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")

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.

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.

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

So bad, I stopped paying attention after the first 10 minutes. I'm not kidding, this movie is filled with the most obviously bad cgi scorpion I've ever seen, ever. Each character is painfully stupid. Plot is stupid, "special" effects are stupid, etc. If you are a vegetable you may enjoy this I suppose, but then if you are a vegetable you probably don't really care one way or the other, which leads me to believe that the people who made this movie must be vegetables. I'd give a synopsis of the plot, but trust me, it really doesn't matter, but I'll try anyway: Something about bugs, and a nerdy girl and some dumb slut who is a terrible actress, thats basically all I can remember, and I challenge anyone not to loose brain cells while watching this crap.
