Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Fair story, good acting, excellent practical effects. Although the film really warrants a 7, I gave it a 10 to counteract the moronic Sharknado fans who think that cgi is god's gift, when in reality it's god's goof. Filmmaking is an art form, it's not an effing computer program.The miniatures in this film are exceptional down to the forest scenes and the houses. The creature is at once monstrous and kind of humorous, and certainly original. Sure it's a B-movie story about a family who encounters "Hills have Eyes" rednecks in the woods on the night of Dec. 31, 1999, and it just so happens that a giant insect like creature has reached it's full maturity that night and eventually wreaks havoc upon both freaks and family, but these guys went the extra mile with very little money, apparently shot everything in a 700 ft warehouse with the exception of a few exteriors of the jeep driving around. That is impressive.

I saw this movie on opening night after being invited by a friend and I have to say it was pretty awful. The filmmakers who pride this being a No-CGI movie are kidding themselves if they think that this represents the future of filmmaking. The miniature sets, while admirably done, looked like toys on screen, the plot and story were nonsensical and badly-paced, and lastly, the supposed star of the show (the monster) looked laughable at best. Acting-wise, it's a mixed bag of decent acting to downright campy; kudos to Joany Haskin for being able to pull off great dramatic moments despite the ridiculousness happening all around her.Production-criticisms aside, I would honestly do others a disservice if I recommended this film to anyone looking for a monster movie fix. It looks and feels dated because of the filmmakers antiquated approach to production yet does not even touch the base of other classic films done with same special effects techniques.I would rate this film with the bottom pile of a Syfy channel original movie in both plot and production values. If that's your cup of tea, then I suppose you'd enjoy this film.

I am not a huge horror movie fan but definitely enjoyed this film. And I love the fact that the monsters in this film are man made and not computer generated. It makes it all the more fun. Being an independent film it was closely and precisely made so it looks like it can be a big budget film. The actors were fantastic and delivered. I can really tell the production team are very creative visually! I don't usually write reviews but had to write about this one, because this film cannot be overlooked. If you like CGI free films, great acting, bugs and scary looking monsters, you will love this film. And I think I am in love with Orpheus!

From start to finish, The Millennium Bug is fun and full of surprises! Any fan of horror movies will finds lots to love about this movie. The Millennium Bug creature itself if very wildly imaginative and awesome on screen dishing out brutal creature kills. There are plenty of imaginative gory kills and great one liners peppered throughout as well. One of the best parts of the movie is the Crawford family, especially Billa Crawford played to a perfect redneck villainous pitch by John Charles Meyer. Hopefully I won't have to wait another 1,000 years (how long it takes a Millennium Bug to reach maturity) to wait for another movie from the writer/director Kenneth Cran. Definitely a movie I can't wait to add to my collection.
