Pluskylang Great Film overall

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Claudio Carvalho 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")

Paul Andrews Insecticidal is set in some female sorority house where wannabe scientist Cami (Meghan Heffern) has been working on a project to reactivate dormant genes in insects, not sure why but we all need a hobby I suppose. The other girls aren't too happy with Cammi & her bugs running around the place so Josi (Rhonda Dent) takes it upon herself to spray all of Cami's experiments with insect killer, problem sorted. Well that's what Josi thought but it turns out that by spraying the bugs with insect killer actually made them all grow bigger & make them more intelligent, again I really don't know why. Now with large killer bugs on the loose Cami & the surviving girls must find a way to escape before they become bug food...This Canadian made Ceature Feature was produced & directed by Jeffery Scott Lando & if you think the Sc-Fi Channel made Creature Features such as Boa vs. Python (2004) or Komodo vs. Cobra (2005) were bad then think again because Insecticidal plunders new depths. The script by Jeff O'Brien could have been quite fun, I mean the basic premise surrounding a bunch of pretty young teenage girls being killed off by a variety of large bugs is a simple one but had potential. Unfortunately the whole film is so badly plotted & made that Insecticidal makes Mega Snake (2007) look like a masterpiece. There are scenes which don't make any logical sense, for a start how did that bug get inside the pizza box & then close the lid? There is a scene when two of the character's are attacked by a large scorpion & they hide inside the basement closing the door behind them but when we see those two girls again they are in the living room, so what happened to the scorpion & how did they get out of the basement? There is a scene early on where we see giant slugs but they are never shown again & why does no-one in the street not notice an eight foot tall Mantis in the girls garden? Why do the girls not try to call anyone? I know they call the police who think they are playing a joke but do they not know any other people they could phone & ask for help? The whole film is poorly paced, it's as dull as dishwater, it's predictable & there are many scenes that just don't work on any logical sense.Director Lando was probably working on a low budget but one has to say that Insecticidal is reasonably well filmed, I say reasonably because I don't want to make it sound like it's amazing or anything but at least it doesn't look like it was shot on a camcorder. There's no shaky photography, no quick cut editing & no post production annoying editing techniques either which is nice. However the scenes when the girls are attacked by the bugs are terrible, they are so static & it's so obvious that the girls are fighting thin air. Now I suppose I have to talk about the special effects. Firstly the bugs aren't that big, there's a scorpion for instance which is about the same size as your average dog. Then there's the CGI computer effects, surely Insecticidal has the worst CGI bug effects of any film ever made. They are simply terrible, they look like they were rendered on a really low end home PC. I don't think I would be exaggerating if I claimed that with the PC I currently have I could have animated better looking bugs. They look truly awful & wouldn't even get into a children's cartoon series.Technically the film overall is a complete mess, despite the photography looking alright the CGI computer effects as already mentioned are simply embarrassing. Filmed in British Columbia in Canada. The acting isn't particularly good although the girls are all pretty good looking which helps.Insecticidal may have a clever title but as a Creature Feature it blows, the CGI computer effect bugs are truly the worst of their kind that I have seen. The story is full of holes & predictable as well, even die hard Creature Feature fans should avoid this one.

Cecil_B_Demented_2212 I never watched it, I want to watch it but I doubt I'll ever come across it.But I can hear you now, you never watched it why are you commenting on it? Simple I don't have to watch it to know exactly what kind of movie it is. A cheep, badly made, most likely poorly acted, direct to DVD horror/trying to be scary film. And guess what a good 80% of those kind of movies suck, a lot. Some can be good, most no so with that being said if you go and watch this movie and then get mad that such a poorly made movie was ever created and that you watched it all I can ask is WHY did you watch it? Did it trick you? Did you think, woah the last few I watched looked really bad maybe this one is different? Did you say wow a low budget movie that will be about monster bugs killing people i bet it looks really cool? You had to know going in this movie would be craptastic so you should have watched it for one reason and one reason only You enjoy bad movies If you don't, do not watch them.It's simple really. It astounds me how often i go through the IMDb pages of crappy horror movies and see people complain did you really pick outthe movie and expect something good...really? I happen to like crappy horror movies, its a guilty pleasure of mine. I find the terrible acting to be funny, the lines can't be worse then the one liners and CSI:Miami and I love that show too, the bad sets? terrible CGI? Its all for giggles for me I adore SCI Fi channel movie marathons because its cheese plain and simple. Cheezy fun, learn to enjoy it or learn to realize when you pick up a movie or flip to one that 'hey this is one of those cheep badly made movies i hate i shouldn't watch it' because if you do sit there and watch it and you knew it was a mad movie or you assumed it was bad and then become outraged that it WAS those things don't bother posting on here or any other site about it whats the point? You knowingly wasted time, don't waste more of it Thats why Im giving this movie a ten. I love crap horror, and I'll always love it and I bet if I watched this movie I would adore all its failures because that's what movies like this are made for Cheep Popcorn Enjoyment.

Jack So some girls are living in a sorority house, and the nerdy one creates some giant bugs that go around killing everyone. The bugs are pretty hilarious, shall we say, not exactly Jurassic Park quality. But the girls! Oh wow. Talk about a plethora of sexy babes. That's basically what this movie is about - hot babes getting attacked by hilarious looking CGI bugs. Lots of sexual situations and a very light hearted sense of B-movie fun. If you liked stuff like Sorority House Massacre II - Nighty Nightmare, or Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama, you'll love this. Several topless babes, almost everyone else in bikini's, an Asian babe getting all sweaty doing her martial arts workout, and one other girl in a see-through T-shirt with a black bra and truly magnificent amounts of cleavage. I though it was going to explode or something! The whole movie is spent with the giant bugs chasing everyone around, while the nerdy girl tries to figure out how to undo what she's created. A good time was had by all! Highly recommended for horny adolescents or anyone else with a love for B-movies and a sense of humor.
