Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Actually very predictable ... to the point you want to smack the "characters" playing in this. But still played with such a gusto by it's lead actress, that you kinda fall for it. It's the typical "You can see what will go wrong, why can't the protagonist see it?" kind of thing, but again, if that will bug you, than you should better not watch it at all (or stop watching it, after 5 to 10 minutes, when it gets apparent, where this is heading).The main actress (also in the directors feature film, prior to this entry) is really good and as stated above, very contagious with her playing the role and getting that emotion clearly send to the viewer. While not exceptional, still pretty good and if you let yourself enjoy it, it will be rewarding.

I was going to start off by saying that Angela Bettis looks like a cross between that "May"/"Toolbox Murders" actress and the shpeech-impendimended Holly Hunter. However, it turns out that Angela IS the former, and isn't nearly unattractive enough to deserve to be insulted by a comparison with the latter. Misty Mundae (if that's her real name) is the real attraction in this slow-moving, rather mediocre episode about a couple of lesbians getting impregnated by a Brazilian creepy-crawly. Almost nothing happens in the first half, and not a great deal more occurs in the second. The humour is predictable and lame - as in 99% of all horror comedies - and the final twist not nearly exciting enough to justify sitting on my derrière for an hour waiting for it.True to the "Masters Of Horror" tradition, evil wins yet again, which is becoming a bit predictable and stale too...The author of the site's plot synopsis muses over the episode being "a commentary on the dangers of moving into a relationship too quickly". Some people have their heads so far up their trusted rears that they'll over-analyze a f**t, let alone a dumb little horror story. Those are probably the same people who find meaning in a Picasso scribble or a Rothko "carpet".

"Sick Girl" was the second episode of "Masters Of Horror" that I saw (after the average "Pick Me Up") and, after watching it, I'm not sure I'm going to bother with the other episodes if they're that bad. Honestly, this was pretty lame.Let's put things straight: "Sick Girl" is not a horror movie (it isn't the slightest bit frightening). It's just a Z-grade erotic movie argument stretched over an hour. The writer and director just came up with a really poor excuse to film two girls making out in just about every scene. What's the point of shooting this as part of a series called "Masters Of Horror"? I mean, the director should have been honest and made an erotic or porn film, period. Or made a movie dealing with the relationship between these two girls (this could have been much more interesting). No need to cover it up with that stupid "evil bug" nonsense. It's almost insulting.It's a shame for Bettis, who appears like an interesting actress and does an okay job. But really, she's been exploited here. The other girl, Erin Brown (who, I just discovered, is apparently a star of low-budget erotic films under the moniker Misty Mundae) is not bad either. But again, except for watching these two make out extendedly (if that's what you're looking for), there is no reason why anyone would want to inflict this drivel on themselves.

From what I've seen so far the "Masters of Horror" series has been pretty disappointing, but this episode was so retarded that it set new lows. This is some of the worst writing/acting/directing/"horror" I have ever seen in my life. I keep watching this series expecting there to be something redeeming, but I think that this has single handedly made me give up on it entirely.If you like horror, then you will hate this film.If you like cinema in general, then you will hate this film.If you like Peter Jackson films (or if you're just a frat boy who watches scary movies for the girl on girl action), then, by all means, watch and enjoy.
