I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Brilliant and touching

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This movie seems to go on forever. The script starts off promisingly enough, but the writer never seems to know when to stop. He has included enough material for two or three films – not two or three interesting films, mind you, but two rather dull (if shocking and even gruesome on occasions) and basically small-budget shockers. The players, led by Mr. Dillman (I call him, "Mr. Dullman") are an uninteresting lot, and as for the bugs themselves –yuk! True, director Jeannot Szwarc (don't ask me how to pronounce that one!) has worked a whole lot in TV and obviously knows how to shoot fast and with economy, but the film outstays its welcome by a long chalk. I'll admit the bugs themselves are mildly convincing, but even for ardent horror lovers, this sluggish, talky, unconvincing and even rather dull at times scenario out-stays its welcome by a long chalk.

There are a number of Sci-fi and horror movies from the 70s that defied all odds and were actually shot on film, despite the lack of good writers or actors, money and thought. Bug certainly fits this category. The single most striking thing about Bug is, this flick is really BORING! The plot is simple: small earthquake reveals unknown species of bugs that emit heat and are capable of igniting fires. Unstable (mad) scientist experiments with them and creates bugs that seem intelligent and like to eat raw meat. If you're thinking this plot is intriguing, forget it! It seems as if the director/producer imagined that simple close-up filming of cockroaches was going to send shivers down the spines of film viewers. There is almost no action, no horror and no excitement until the final 25 minutes of the movie, and the "terrifying" ending is the only part of the movie that provoked a good belly-laugh from this viewer. This is a silly, dull movie, featuring bell-bottoms and other 70s cultural staples, but a duller film would be extremely hard to find.

This is a movie about fire breathing bugs that come of the earth when there is an earth quake in a small American town. Like all horror movies it as an interesting concept. But this one does not have a good script. It is not scary. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. The acting is awful. I do not know what motive of the mean character is. He makes designations and not why he does them. They over did it victims. I need more line and I am running out of things to say. This a bad movie. Bad movie bad movie. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this movie. This movie is stinky pooh pooh. It is one of the worst horror movie ever.

This was a surprise: not only is it a solid entry in the monster animal cycle of the 1970s, but it eventually took a totally unexpected path which elevates the film above most of its kind (reminiscent of the well-regarded PHASE IV [1974]). Another big plus here is the excellent central performance by Bradford Dillman – his presence in any film is always welcome, but I've rarely seen him this good! I'm not squeamish about bugs, so I wasn't bothered by having to watch a film with hordes of them menacing a community (unlike snakes, for instance – which has kept me from checking out SSSSSSS [1973] during this Halloween challenge!); even so, it's not that the insects are used throughout for any overtly revolting effect. Like I said at the beginning – thanks also to the unenthusing write-ups on it by both Leslie Halliwell and Leonard Maltin (online assessment at the time of Paramount's DVD release, then, is split pretty much down the middle) – I had anticipated this to be a typical (read: low-brow) small-town-invaded-by-insects film a' la THE SWARM (1978), presenting a succession of contrived situations where various cast members meet a grisly death at the hands of the bugs.While it has a few scenes in this vein to cater to just that section of its intended audience – and the fact that they are combustible (their sudden emergence the direct cause of an impressively-staged earthquake) certainly provides a novel touch for this type of film! – the second half virtually revolves exclusively around Dillman's obsession with the insects (following the death of his wife, who fell victim to them). In fact, he isolates a number of bugs in a pressurized container for experimental purposes – the result of his endeavor is, however, far greater than he could have imagined: the concept of intelligent carnivorous bugs must have seemed like the height of silliness on paper, but there's no denying that its execution in cinematic terms is reasonably persuasive and downright scary (especially since they keep evolving into ever more diabolical creatures)! The film makes use of an electronic score for maximum unsettling effect; incidentally, this proved to be notorious showman producer William Castle's swan-song (he also co-wrote the script with Thomas Page, author of the novel on which it was based).
