While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It takes unbelievable talent to make a film as bad as this. I watched this, transfixed, for 90 minutes, wondering how it could be done.Think about it. Take good actors and make them look like complete amateurs. You can't just stick them in front of the camera and expect them to act like that. You have to tell them to wave their arms around like complete morons, or tell them to speak in a stupified monotone.Each scene was carefully planned. Dumbfound the audience by leaving them wondering whether it was comedy or horror. I'm not sure that the director knew himself. But that is all part of the genius.The script is the piece de resistance. It's reminiscent of "Springtime for Hitler" in the Producers. The audience is supposed to think that it's complete rubbish, and boy does it work!! The romantic lead in the film does rather give things away. If you watch (not too closely) you can detect that he is trying to hold back laughter as he and the others deliver their fabulous lines.The photography and editing are also suitably terrible. The opening minute sets the scene for the whole film, but gives no clue as to how bad things can get.I spent 90 absolutely wonderful minutes watching this complete nonsense and have not had a better time in ages. My congratulations to everybody involved.

The writer alone should be tortured to death! Usually bad movies are at least funny but this is painful. Scotty and Sulu should not have beamed down for this turkey. They were particularly horrific. Wow, what a stinker! I'd like to meet the dumb jack-asses that put up the production money for this one. I could use some extra cash.

What an incredible film. Incredible in the fact that the Cast & Crew have admitted they made it, and that it actually got released. Thankfully it did and a copy made it to a local news agent in east London and was then purchased by a friend of mine (5 DVD's for £10 or some other offer) The joy I had watching this was like scratching the soles of my feet, it tickles & irritates & annoy's yet at the same time it relieves them and i want to do it more..argh!!! The acting IS the worst i've ever seen (I watch a lot of rubbish movies) the script is just as bad & Randy Quaid deserves an Oscar for the worst performance by a 'trained' actor. I loved the use of Star Trek old timers, there performances just add to the badness of the whole production. This is a perfect example that the saying 'its so bad its good' isnt always true. Plan 9 fitted into this catogory yet this film seems too knowledgable of its own badness to pull it off. After saying all this bad stuff i must admit I havent laughed so much for years. I advise all people into film to watch this as an example of how bad films can be & how much we should appreciate it when a decently scripted,acted & directed film hits the silver screen......think i might watch it again after all this talk...i need a good laugh.....1/10 (although 10/10 for being such a freak of a film) P.S. Many thanks to my so called mate for lending me this pile of.....

I started watching this movie recently (note the word 'started'), basically because my fiancee doesn't like cockroaches at all, and so likes to watch movies with cockroaches in. It's the same with plane crash movies, so I've seen some really bad movies in my time.I very quickly reached the conclusion that this is, literally, the worst film I have ever seen. I'm not exaggerating here. If someone were to ask me now, "What's the worst film you've ever seen?" I would reply "Bug Buster." "There is no way," I thought after half an hour or so, "that any film could possibly get any worse than this." And then Randy Quaid showed up.I thought Randy Quaid was bad in Independence Day, but then he was alongside Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith. Here, he was surrounded by truly bad acting and he still managed to make the movie worse just by showing up. Bear in mind, I'd already reached the conclusion that this movie was the worst I'd ever seen before he actually showed up. He was that bad. Unwatchably bad in fact, we gave up shortly after that. I flicked back over every so often just to check it hadn't somehow gotten even worse, and the bits I saw made me glad I'd stopped watching it.I gave it 1/10, but this film is a good argument for having a zero in the scale.
