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!

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!

The Millennium Bug is a rip roaring great time!

From start to finish, The Millennium Bug is fun and full of surprises! Any fan of horror movies will finds lots to love about this movie. The Millennium Bug creature itself if very wildly imaginative and awesome on screen dishing out brutal creature kills. There are plenty of imaginative gory kills and great one liners peppered throughout as well. One of the best parts of the movie is the Crawford family, especially Billa Crawford played to a perfect redneck villainous pitch by John Charles Meyer. Hopefully I won't have to wait another 1,000 years (how long it takes a Millennium Bug to reach maturity) to wait for another movie from the writer/director Kenneth Cran. Definitely a movie I can't wait to add to my collection.

avoid at all cost!

What schlock. Don't waste your time. Other reviewers have explained the tragedy of this movie. Its not really about the Millenium Bug event at all, more like a gore saw film in tandem with Deliverance. Enough said!
