Synopsis

A cop on the track of a criminal finds himself in the midst of an unfinished subway tunnel, when his flashlight reveals a startling discovery: a three meter long scorpion-like Bug. With one slice of its massive tail the bug fells the man and devours him. FBI agent Matt Pollack is brought in to investigate, and when forensics reveal the source of the problem, he turns to his friend and entomologist Emily Foster for help.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
henri sauvage I believe one day film historians will look back on this as the era in which Hollywood forgot how to make an entertaining low budget creature feature, for which the blame will be laid squarely on the shoulders of The Channel Formerly Known as Sci-Fi.And the prime exhibit will be this piece of dreck. Literally no stone is left unturned in its relentless quest to claim the dishonor of being the most inept, boring "Aliens" rip-off ever to come scuttling down the pike. You'd think the concept of monster bugs running amok in a half-completed subway project could provide all sorts of opportunities for claustrophobic chills and thrills -- but you'd be wrong, so very, very wrong.Even by TCFKaSF standards, this is dull stuff. And for all you sick puppies who could care less about inconsequentials like direction, cinematography, dialog, acting or plot, so long as there's lots of gore -- well, there's not that much, and it's not that well done, either.Let's put it this way: This film is so bad, even my local used DVD store wouldn't take it.
quantumcat Okay, is this movie bad. yes. BUT WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT PEOPLE!!! C'mon! And for a bad movie it's not that a bad movie. I've seen movies with bigger budgets that are worse!The writing is formulaic, but fast paced. And like someone commented, no distracting love plots, scenes or whatever. Simply straight to the point action. The SFX aren't that bad. lemme put it this way: it's a low budget movie. Don't go expecting ILM, WETA CGI or Stan Winston/Rob Bottin/Chris Walas SFX. But still - it's decent enough to do the trick.The acting is mediocre at best, but again...its low budget! It's no Oscar material, but they do a decent job!So where does that leave us:BUGS is a movie that does what movies in it's class/genre should do. No more, no less. Don't go expecting more. At least it's not less, like "octopus" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221905/) or shark attack 25 ;-)If you like silly monster flicks, it will entertain you for about 80 minutes. Grab your popcorn and set you mind to zero. Don't think, watch, enjoy ;-)
g00187276-1 While the film is as good as can be expected for one of "those" sci-fi channel flicks, the dialog seemed really bad. as the team is getting ready to take off, the leader tells the blond girl to stay behind, presumably to be safe. we are never told why, are they a secret couple? is she sick? pregnant? not that it matters, as she dies later on. as far as the other one, the hot red haired scientist. she states that the creatures are 65 million years old (yea, thats a popular number to sprout when dealing with monsters) and in the same sentence, states that they came from the Carbiniferous period, but that's over three hundred million years ago! Anyway, don't expect much and it'll be an okay film, especially when the cop goes all Rambo!
rbunnell Don't dismiss this one out of hand. Sure, it's not top drawer in the giant-insect-threat-to-humanity genre. But let's not be unfair, considering the slot it's aiming for. I don't think you should judge a film of this type as if it could make it as a first-run film in movie theaters. This is a TV Sci-Fi channel entertainment. I thought the effects were pretty darn good, and the first 15 to 20 minutes set up the movie with surprising style. When the subway car that had all the rich dignitaries rolls into the station after suffering a major attack--that's a great scene with real visual flair. Folks, what do we really want in one of these? A lot of giant insects, a troop of rough and ready combat types that all get picked off over time without doing really, really stupid things, the tiresome polluter-real estate tycoon-arrogant scientist getting his just deserts at the end, and a couple brave and true folk surviving. Give this one a chance!
