ItÂ’s December 31st, 1999, and the world anxiously awaits the year 2000. Hoping to escape the Y2K computer glitch known as the Â“millennium bug,Â” Byron Haskin takes his new wife and teenage daughter camping in the isolated Sierra Diablos mountains. But madness finds them in the form of the Crawford clan, a family of in-bred hillbillies who abduct the Haskins in order to refresh their stagnant gene pool. As the Haskins fight for their lives, death and bloody carnage ensue, but neither they nor the Crawfords are aware of the monstrous horror hibernating beneath the forest floor. Unseen for 1,000 years, this millennium bug is hungry... and December 31st just happens to be its birthday.

Awful

Besides all the "no CGI" chat... The movie is awful to watch... I'm a avid movie watcher, from all genres and types, and horror are, side by side with suspense, my favorites; but this one makes my laughs go out loud in the neighborhood! Man, what the hell is this? Bad acting, great monster, but also no terrifying one, so, the movie is nearly almost to watch till the end! I never stop watching one, even a piece of "shtako" like this, but I strongly do not recommend anyone to loose time seeing this one! The deaths are so forced and even we knowing that no CGIO was used, the rubber and plastic models used to play these parts lack credibility and this makes the movie very very very ugly!

Gotta love the Crawfords

Independent movies always rock, but this one was well done. Great camera angles, great sound, and great BUG. No CGI, couldn't have been pulled off better! I loved the over the top acting of the Crawfords.

I'm from the Midwest and we see families like this all the time, right? Makes for great entertainment and my favorite is Fij Crawford. The Bug was interesting in it's movement, very realistic, not sure how I know how a giant bug moves, but looked scary enough to me. Not sure what to make of the birth scene, but made good subject to talk about around the water cooler. What will an earlier version of the Bug look like? Prequel, sequel, bring it on, can't wait... Viva la Bug!

Not that great of a movie but still............

............. I have to admit that I had fun watching it. I know the acting isn't the best, the story's dumb and the monsters kinda ridiculous but I found found some of it to be funny at times.The hillbilly/ backwoods family was so over the top ridiculous that for me it held this together a bit especially the oldest brother. Of course as dumb as the monster looked I still enjoyed the 80's feel to it and as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with 1980's horror because that's when horror was fun. Give this a chance if you like 1980's movies with a bit of black comedy thrown in the middle, you'll probably like this......I did.

Love the Dysfunctional Family!!!!!

I am not a huge horror movie fan but definitely enjoyed this film. And I love the fact that the monsters in this film are man made and not computer generated. It makes it all the more fun. Being an independent film it was closely and precisely made so it looks like it can be a big budget film. The actors were fantastic and delivered. I can really tell the production team are very creative visually! I don't usually write reviews but had to write about this one, because this film cannot be overlooked. If you like CGI free films, great acting, bugs and scary looking monsters, you will love this film. And I think I am in love with Orpheus!
