    Poorly written and acted

    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.

    A definite "must see".

    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'.

    giant scorpions, how can that be bad?

    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

    stinkers or stingers?

    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.

    Where is the giant bugmonster?

    They promised some 1950-style giant bugs. Those are as large as HOUSES. Here, they don't even have any bug, what there is appears shortly, and maybe as big as a dog, though it is inconsistent, sometimes they are the size of an adult.

    The directing is even worse. Absolute incompetency on that field. Just the first scene has so many glaring errors it's too much.

    Fail to see the comedy anywhere also, so this offers nothing to suggest watching, aside how not to make movie. Oh, and the after ending scene is just gross. Not funny, not erotic - simply gross.
