nrage40 ............. I have to admit that I had fun watching it. I know the acting isn't the best, the story's dumb and the monsters kinda ridiculous but I found found some of it to be funny at times.The hillbilly/ backwoods family was so over the top ridiculous that for me it held this together a bit especially the oldest brother. Of course as dumb as the monster looked I still enjoyed the 80's feel to it and as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with 1980's horror because that's when horror was fun. Give this a chance if you like 1980's movies with a bit of black comedy thrown in the middle, you'll probably like this......I did.

Tony Bush To call this a B movie wouldn't be quite fair - it's a few letters below that in status. And I'm not convinced that the production company, No CGI Films, truly lives up to its name. Unless they are being ironic when they plaster glowing computer rendered lettering all over the titles just after the legend "No CGI Films" has graced the screen. That said the in-movie FX are handled by way of models and puppets, which gives the film something of the look of the seventies Amicus movies THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT, AT THE EARTH'S CORE and THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT.The plot sees a nuclear family avoiding the overstated potential catastrophe of Y2K by camping out in the mountains. Here they fall foul of a clan of interbred mentally-challenged rednecks who plan to use daughter and wife to cleanse their bloodline. Meanwhile a "crypto-anthropologist" is hanging around, trying to prove the existence of a massive cave-dwelling bug that only appears once a millennium.Gore and splatter gleefully ensue as the family take on the rednecks and when the bug puts in an appearance to wreak havoc the film rattles along to a foregone conclusion wherein everyone winds up dead. The end. This is to intelligent and thoughtful film making what Whack the Gopher is to Chess. It's senseless, mindless and dim-witted. There are some nauseating moments and the hillbillies are suitably depraved, and the horribly unconvincing creature effects do project some retro charm. Is it worth your time? One, only if you are a big fan of this sort of stuff, two, you are very bored, and three, you have nothing better to do or watch. One and two, maybe. Three, I think it most unlikely.

poolbob3 Independent movies always rock, but this one was well done. Great camera angles, great sound, and great BUG. No CGI, couldn't have been pulled off better! I loved the over the top acting of the Crawfords.I'm from the Midwest and we see families like this all the time, right? Makes for great entertainment and my favorite is Fij Crawford. The Bug was interesting in it's movement, very realistic, not sure how I know how a giant bug moves, but looked scary enough to me. Not sure what to make of the birth scene, but made good subject to talk about around the water cooler. What will an earlier version of the Bug look like? Prequel, sequel, bring it on, can't wait... Viva la Bug!

Indianajabroni 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.
