Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

alexxpolska The fun factor is huge and that's is what matter. I liked the story and the talented Meghan Heffern, the actress who played the role of "Cami"in Insecticidal. I think the effects are not the crucial point to make a good movie. The concept of good movies is subjective. There are movies with great story and bad effects and so the opposite. I founded the DVD here in Brazil and enjoyed, the image quality is not bad. I'm a B-movie and horror movie fanatical and does not get disappointed. When i think one movie is not good, i don't want to see it again and it's not the cause with this gem. I will see it again. The Japanese girl is amazing too. I wished the movie could have at least 120 minutes, to get more fun. Do not skip this, the bugs are fun and pesky.

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.

Phillemos I see I've given this movie a higher rating than most. I freely admit this a bad, bad movie. Yet as horrible as this movie is, it's still entertaining to watch, which is why my overall rating pulls the film up. For starters, "Insecticidal" is like the female eye candy version of "Leeches!" In other words, it's a bad giant invertebrate movie except nearly all the characters are hot girls, as opposed to "Leeches!" where they're nearly all male models. Otherwise, the similarities are so striking, I was surprised to learn the two movies weren't done by the same director. Basically, girls live in a sorority house where one (Cami) has an affinity for bugs and is doing a thesis on them for class. The most popular girls in the sorority gets so enraged at bugs crawling around the house (one of them startles her while she's banging some guy) that she sprays insecticide all over Cami's room and kills the bugs. OR SO SHE THINKS!!!... In fact the insecticide somehow causes the bugs to mutate to prehistoric proportions, and they start killing off sorority sisters the night of a wild party. Anyway, this movie is clearly not going to win any awards. The creature effects may be the worst since the old 1950s B-movies. They look like they could have been done on a Commodore-64 home computer. At times the killer insects even look like cartoon characters. The whole premise (if you spray insecticide on your pests they will actually mutate into monsters) is just silly, although I give them credit for not dwelling on it. There's no interest-killing "15-minutes-of-scientific-explanation" scene that most other sci-fi movies feel obliged to feature to justify their existence. And for all the carnage, it's disappointing how effortlessly Cami & Co. kill the insects. Yet if you're willing to sit through a "so-bad-it's-good" movie, "Inseciticidal" does have some redeeming qualities. It's action-packed, almost two straight hours of kills with virtually no down time in the movie. It's interesting to note that, according to the opening scene and credits, this entire movie takes place in the span of about six hours. There's a lot of eye candy here; and to be honest, though they try to stereotype Cami in the glasses-wearing-girl/nerd role, she is the hottest of the bunch. And if you're paying attention, the writers are having some fun here. For example, if you look at the house from the outside, you notice the girls are members of the Beta Upsilon Gamma sorority (whose abbreviation would be "BUG"). Clearly "Insecticidal" will never be considered mentioned in the same sentence such classics as "Alien" or "The Thing," but it's a good take if you're in the mood for a mindless flick. I give it a 4.

face_of_terror I didn't know that if you spray raid on a bug , it turns into a giant murderous bug. In this movie, this is exactly what happens. Some girls are having a party at home. One of them, Cammy, is a nerd who doesn't have fun. Instead, she's making experiments with her insects, in the basement. Her sister Josie sprays raid on the insects to kill them, but instead, they start growing up, and terrorising the house. Now Cammy, and the left survivors have to battle the giant insects all night long, to stay alive.I don't even know how to describe the plot. Its so childish. I have no idea why they hate insects so much. The CGI effects are laughable. Playstation games have better graphics than these bugs in the movie. The insects are also given strange names, such as Evander (Holyfield), Louis (Joe).Amateurish acting, stupid dialogue, and almost no gore, make this movie unwatchable. The only thing that is good about this movie, is Samantha Mcleod.Don't waste your time on this flick. If horror movie about insects is your fetish, better watch THE FLY or MOSQUITO MAN. 1/10.
