A sorority house is besieged by genetically mutated bugs that have been inadvertently bred by an ambitious yet reclusive science student vying for PhD honours. Cheerful, light and mostly entertaining horror/comedy made on a shoestring budget, merges house party slasher themes and the more conventional giant bug movie to pleasing effect. The bookish Cinderella scientist taunted by her arguably more attractive sorority sisters (certainly more sexually active) proves to be the only person capable of defeating the nemeses after most of the party are dismembered. Nudity abounds, with the resident hussy bouncing from one bone head to the next, before ignorantly ingesting larvae that transforms her into a queen vessel for the mutant spawn. Not being the sharpest tool in the shed, she misdiagnoses the metamorphosis as an STD, and attempts to treat accordingly with anti-bacterial scrub, with comical results. She in turn proves to be as much a threat as the bugs themselves, even attempting to cannibalise her companions while appearing to drift in and out of lucidity.It's essentially "American Pie" meets "Friday the 13th" with a few man (or in this case) woman-eating bugs added for seasoning. All the college house party motifs are on display: hot tubs, beauty queens, Asian students, lesbian encounters, jocks and good old fashioned S&M - no theme is considered taboo. Despite the student film quality to this flick, the photography and sound departments are competent; the CGI effects on the other hand, are the key liability to success. There's little interaction between the characters and the CGI monsters, just an occasional severed mandible or inanimate roach casing to fuse the two layers. Still, it is quite amusing watching the guy wrestle a giant roach from his face, while attempting to satisfy his Gothic girlfriend's demand for cunnilingus.And, while there's a whole second hand store full of dismembered limbs, buckets of gravy and plenty of goo and slime, it's all quite tame and unrealistic. The R rating surely is reserved for the endless procession of nudity and sex that seems to be a pre-cursor to each climax (so to speak). The production designer (Sean Whale) appears to have been so instrumental to the production, that he's allowed to indulge in a meaningless walk-on in the closing scene, as the characters lament the potential for repetition and a nod to the prospect of an as yet un-realised sequel. Entertaining, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons.

'Insecticidal' is a great cheesy film.College student Cami is obsessed with here bug collection of Rhinoceros Beetles, Sluggs, Scopions, Tarantulas, praying mantis, princer bugs, and more. Her bugs get on here sorority sisters, Sophi, Fumi, Cherri, Belli, Twisti, Jenni, and most of all, the woman of the house, Josi. Josi's boyfriend Mitch holds Cami and her boyfriend Martin while Josi sprays insecticide on Cami's bugs, mutating them. After Cherri, Belli, Kyle, Dick, Twisti and the pizza boy disappear, Cami, Sophi, Jenni, Fumi, Mitch, (well, not exactly Mitch, Mitch is just alive) find out about the bugs and fight against them, while Josi, the mean girl, becomes a zombie.the cgi is bad, but acting and dialogue is good, action and violence, suspense, but the cgi is still pretty convincing, it is a good film, Sophi's performance after her girlfriend Jenni, (they are lesbians) is killed. Vicky Huang is good, the girl who plays Cami, the boy who does Mitch, also Martin and the gorgeous Rhonda Dent who plays Josi, along with Jenni, the others do okay but this is order from bet acting to worst acting: 1) Josi 2) Cami 3) Sophi 4) Fumi 5) Jenni 6)Matin 7) Mitch 8) Dick 9) Twisti 10) Belli 11) Cherri 12) Kyle 13) Sluggo (Zombie???) 14) security guard (??????????????????) This is a great film with good, good, good actors! Rent it or buy it!!! 10/10 stars.

With so-called 'special' effects that may very well rival "the Thing Below", this tale of giant intelligent bugs that terrorize sorority girls is bad in every possible way. The acting's awful, the plot's overtly stupid, and the aforementioned special effects make the whole thing laughable, if not for the fact that you'll be too depressed that you've wasted about an hour and a half on this garbage. Even nudity can't save this from falling into the abyss of the dreaded DVD bargain bin. Not that bargain can be used in any connotation when referring to this movie. No matter which way you slice it, simply dreadful. Good thing that Director Jeffery Lando holds three citizenships, become this film (and his others) are so bad that his American should be revoked.My Grade: F Eye Candy: the unfortunately named Chris Guy shows everything she's got; Rhonda Dent shows T&A; Anna Farrant and Natalia Tudge just show tits

So bad, I stopped paying attention after the first 10 minutes. I'm not kidding, this movie is filled with the most obviously bad cgi scorpion I've ever seen, ever. Each character is painfully stupid. Plot is stupid, "special" effects are stupid, etc. If you are a vegetable you may enjoy this I suppose, but then if you are a vegetable you probably don't really care one way or the other, which leads me to believe that the people who made this movie must be vegetables. I'd give a synopsis of the plot, but trust me, it really doesn't matter, but I'll try anyway: Something about bugs, and a nerdy girl and some dumb slut who is a terrible actress, thats basically all I can remember, and I challenge anyone not to loose brain cells while watching this crap.
