This is the best of all the big bug movies wrapped into one.
Years ago, a chemical pesticide was needed to save crops. Now we switch to today, the Griffin Family (Kathrin Heigl, Bernie Kopell, and Anne Lockhart) is moving in and has bought a lakefront property.
Something is not right; several locals are getting bugged and dispatched in a gory manner. This is being reported by channel F U 2.
Sworn to protect the town is Sheriff Carlson (James Doohan). The Sheriff reminds everyone about “Jaws.” They may need to bring in General George S. Merlin (Randy Quaid), the Bug Buster.
The moviemakers must have had the goods on most of the actors to coerce them into being in this movie. All the actors did an excellent job of overacting.
The bugs and “the mother bug” were so realistic that I had to look at the credits to be sure no bugs were harmed in the production.
Many times, a production such as this movie tries to be too campy and ends up being too ridiculous to watch. This movie is well-balanced and makes you want to watch to the end and then some.
This movie needs to be watched several times to get all the nuances.
The actual location is recognized by world travelers as Big Bear Lake, Big Bear Valley, San Bernardino National Forest, California, USA.
