4 out of 5 stars Creeping Crawling Terror.......2005-12-16

A small island in Maine experiences terror once an infested body washes up on shore. The Island's newest resident is a doctor in need of getting away. Unfortunately the Doc has made enemies just by buying the wrong house. As tempers flare among the residents the doctor stumbles upon the hidden problem growing on the island.

The Island is now home to a horrible bug that lays its eggs in small mammals. Now they have turned toward man as a host. Unfortunately once the residents are finally confronted with the reality it is too late to do more than run. But it is hard to run far when you are surrounded by water and the next ferry isn't due for a week.

Very realistic looking bugs really add to the creep factor in this film. Some pretty decent acting is also present and you will probably recognize a few faces (and not just Dean Stockwell as the Sheriff). Parts of the movie look like it could lead to an interesting sequel (if handled right) while the existing ending adds just the right touch. If you like swarms of bugs in your movies then this one is right up your alley.

4 out of 5 stars Made My Skin Crawl!!.......2005-06-28

This movie is extremely creepy. Definitely worth watching. It WILL make your skin crawl! Well worth what it is selling for on Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars Strong Story Line + Scary FX = Well Done Horror Flick.......2004-11-07

THE NEST is one of those horror movies that are light years ahead of their better publicized yet less competently crafted brethren. What makes a horror film memorable is not just well-designed gory effects (although that helps). What does make the difference is the same quality that attracts or disinterests moviegoers with all films: does the audience connect to the characters in a way as to make us care about their fates? In THEY NEST, director Ellery Elkayem presents the hero Dr. Ben Cahill (Thomas Calabro) as a drunken sot of a surgeon who loses his job as an attending physician at a prestigious hospital and heads to a small island off the coast of Maine to sober up. Cahill is a good but flawed man who clearly wants to reset his moral compass. On the island he meets the lovely Nell (Kristin Hocking Dalton), with whom he is allowed to gradually form a romantic tie. The Big Bug Menace of this movie is not big at all. They are ordinary looking Africanized pincer wielding cockroaches that show their menace only when covering the ground in a rapidly moving insect blanket of pincer snapping lethality. These bugs breed, attack en masse, and lay their eggs within a human host so that their emergence smacks of the stomach bursting scene from ALIEN. The bugs seem to operate in a hive mentality; thus, they function as a collective threat to humanity.

Dean Stockwell as the local sheriff and John Savage as the hick lobsterman are surprisingly effective in backup roles. Calabro and Hocking-Dalton gradually show a growing love interest, with Hocking-Dalton taking the lead in romance. The ending is a let-down. How many times have we seen the last of the Bug Eyed Monsters get killed only to see a lone survivor fly or crawl off to repeat the process? Still, the scenes in which Stockwell and Savage try to swat away a rolling carpet of predator bugs must surely cause the audience to peek into that shoe before they put it on. Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars THIS WILL REALLY BUG YOU!!!.......2004-02-28

CREEPY CRAWLERS is the first movie in some time that made my squirm and my skin crawl; with an effective use of silence and eerily atmospheric music and some nifty camerawork, this movie really gets under your skin.
It opens with some shipmates duct taping a fellow matey, and then dumping him overboard; the body comes to rest on a sleepy little island in Maine. A surgeon (Thomas Calabro, in a marvelously controlled and humorus performance) has recently purchased a house on this island. It needs fixing up, and the only one who can help out electically is a nasty feller named Jack Wald (played with venomous relish by John Savage). Seems like Wald and his brother should have inherited the house, but since their pappy didnt pay his taxes, the house went up for sale and Calabro bought it. Meanwhile, the cockroaches are swarming and just dying to breed in their human hosts.
There are some incredibly creepy scenes, and when the bugs sprout wings, look out.
This is a great "little" movie, full of dark humor and nasty, nasty bugs!
Buy you some Raid afore you watch it, ye heah?

3 out of 5 stars Ain't that bad!.......2004-02-10

My expectations for this movie were any thing but high - after all, I watched this right after the Oscar-winning "Bugs," and the rattle-snake riddened "Rattled," a movie right on par with "Citizen Kane" and "Lawrence of Arabia." And yet...I was pleasantly surprised.

For one, the characters are pretty well fleshed out. Our hero is a former surgeon who's hands are a little shaky (unless he has a drink) and so retires to a small fishing island. The locals don't really like him, and he has to put up with constant black-outs at his isolated mansion. The sudden emergence of cockroaches doesn't make things that much happier.

Gradually, the cockroaches go from lovable little squishies to killer parasites. There a few good scenes of the little buggers popping out of people's mouths, chests, and stomachs. They also learn to fly near the end There are some well done surprises here. Granted, I didn't feel particularly frightened at any part of this movie, but it will make you a bit queezy. The scene at the dinner table where our hero lifts up his fork to reveal a bug on it made me jump.

There are other plusses for this movie. For once...I actually CARED if the main character lived! And the romantic interest not only can support herself and helps out, but the relationship with our hero isn't rushed and you actually do feel some chemistry between them.

The only real downfall of the movie is the ending. It's one of those typical "one [insert type of animal]is still alive" endings. It's just corny and cliche.

Overall, a decent horror movie. It's not a great movie, and I'm not gonna buy it for my collection any time soon, but considering what other horrors I've seen it was definately worth my time.
