JoeB131 Yes, Skiffy strikes again with a movie made up of poor special effects and mediocre actors...The plot is that a shower of tiny meteorites pierce an astronaut's space suit, and infect him with insect DNA. A hot female entomologist is called in. (Because, honestly, only in a Skiffy movie can a female entomologist be considered "hot") and teams up with a NASA mission specialist nicknamed "Geranimo". (Seriously, this is what passes for writing on Skiffy!) Well, the insect burst out of the astronaut's body, and they look just like, oh, regular moths. Then the infect other people, who grow extra limbs and need to suck the life out of other people. Throw in the gung-ho national security guy, some other minor characters who probably slept with the producers, and what you get is two hours of mess that Skiffy will put on one of their weekend "bug" marathons....
NewtonJames The other comments on this movie are pretty accurate; however, once I got hooked, I had to stay up to see how it ended. I don't know where the year '2003' came from, and that year was also in the newspaper and cable TV listings. I would guess that this movie was made in the early 1980s. Perhaps the best line in the movie came at the end, after the good guys had (apparently!!) stopped the aliens. The guy and gal were walking on the beach and the guy says something like, "I wonder how man would react to sharing the earth with beings who might even be superior." And the gal responds, "Are you talking about women?" ;-)
Theo Robertson I can`t remember much about this TVM except for the fact I hated it . This was down to two things 1 ) The techno-babble . In order to fool the audience into thinking they`re watching a high brow sci-fi movie the writer has introduced reams and reams of big words in the dialogue and there`s no way I can quote it because I`ve no idea how the spell the words . It doesn`t matter if they`re real scientific expressions or just made up because the audience will be totally confused either way2 ) The gore is rasther off putting . You see being a TVM I was expecting a PG certificate but we see things like killer moths from outer space burrowing out of peoples` limbs . Yuck
Aussie Stud I realize there was a limited budget for this "straight-to-cable" movie, but for crying out loud, NOTHING in this embarrassing laugh-fest looked even remotely real!The paper-thin plot involves some sort of "moth nebula" that infects an astronaut docked in outer-space while fixing a spacecraft just outside of Earth's atmosphere. The astronaut is hospitalized, and then starts producing 'cocoon-like' objects on his fingers that breed 'alien moths'. Next thing you know, the moths fly out the hospital window and start infecting (biting) innocent citizens all over the city who happen to share the same blood type.TV FOX fixtures, Jamie Luner ("Melrose Place") and Nicholas Lea ("The X Files") headline this atrocious 'movie' as a bug scientist and astronaut scientist who come together to try and stop the moths from infecting people. Luner is absolutely embarrassing as the bug scientist whose big discovery towards the ending of the film is pinpointing the location of the 'bug hideout shelter' simply by coincidental means. Her brother happens to take a photo of his girlfriend while a suspicious looking character just happens to be walking by in the background (LOL), therefore giving Luner's character a big clue as to where the moth people may be hiding.The biggest laughs of all come from the low budgeted 'special effects'. One 'infected' woman is held captive in an interrogation room. She does her best 'scared/freaking out' impression when all of a sudden, 'computer-generated' arms lash out from her sides and quickly disappear again. Considering she is fully dressed, did the producers not even care about how the arms suddenly appear, then disappear without even tearing her clothes? And the fact that the arms resembled that of a papier mache model makes the whole situation even more laughable.Another laughable scene involves the 'thing' that is being guarded by all of the infected people. Some sort of big balloon sac with a 'human-like' being inside of it. We of course, never get to see this, because it gets blown up on a tug boat at the end of the film. This thing is supposedly the film's central object of 'horror', something that we never get to see, yet are supposed to be very scared of. I can't stop thinking about how bad this movie was!What a stupid movie! It's not even worthy as a 'straight-to-Sci Fi Channel' film. To top it off, they even throw in the usual megalomaniacal military officer who insists on 'blowing up' the whole city to try and stop the outbreak, including all the other innocent civilians who haven't been infected. Maybe this movie should have been on Comedy Central instead?I say, skip this trash and rent "Dog Soldiers" instead. This movie was a total joke.My Grade - 1 out of 10
