Insecticidal (2005)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Absolutely Brilliant!

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Cami (Meghan Heffern) is a dedicated student of etymology that is researching insects in her sorority house. When her sorority sister Josi (Rhonda Dent) sprays insecticide on her bugs, Cami becomes upset. But sooner she learns that the insects had grown bigger and bigger and her sister and she are under siege of the insects. Further, Josi is the host of the breed of mutant insects that are very hungry. "Insecticidal" is a B-movie with all the elements of this type of film: hot naked girls, terrible dialogs, awful story and acting, poor special effects and lots of gore and spittle. Therefore, it is only recommended for fans of trash movies. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "Inseticida" ("Insecticidal")

Well, you're only going to watch a movie like this to laugh at how stupid it is, so my review is aimed at the folks who already have that attitude. Knowing ahead of time that it is campy trash, this movie is still a waste of time. Giant bugs attacking a sorority house sounds like a no-brainer for fans of b-movie junk. Except this one wasn't even entertaining on an unintentionally humorous level. It was just boring.A brainy coed named Cammi accidentally enlarges several bugs to the size of houses. The bugs try to kill everyone in the house. The stereotypes that pass for characters have to fight back.I'm hesitant to complain at how bad the special effects are, since it doesn't make much difference when a movie is this lame. Bottom Line: it looked like it was a sure thing. I didn't like it at all.SIDE NOTE: It's surprising how many giant monster movies just aren't that much fun. You'd think all the filmmakers would have to do is make a few miniature sets and let the destruction happen. I guess it's harder than that, because along with this movie, the monsters have been disappointing in a number of recent cheese-fests (I was disappointed with Kraa the Sea Monster, Godzilla:Final Wars, and Mega-Shark Vs. Giant Octopus. In the case of Mega-Shark, I enjoyed the movie, they just didn't show much of the monsters).

'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.

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.
