Creepy Crawlers Reviews
Made My Skin Crawl!!
This movie is extremely creepy. Definitely worth watching. It WILL make your skin crawl! Well worth what it is selling for on Amazon.
Strong Story Line + Scary FX = Well Done Horror Flick
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.
