Insectula! (2015)

Overrated

Captivating movie !

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Sure, when I sat down to watch "Insectula!" I knew that his was not going to be a massive Hollywood blockbuster. In fact, I knew that the chances were that this movie was going to be a low budget and most likely a horrible one. But hey, on the odd chance that this might be a creature feature that would impress, then I sat down to watch "Insectula!".I managed to endure 35 minutes of this ordeal that passes for a movie. Then I gave up. I just simply had enough, and I wasn't entertained in any possible way."Insectula!" had laughable CGI effects, which weren't really doing anything to help along the movie in any way.There was some really wooden and rigid acting from the cast. And while there weren't any famous people on the cast list."Insectula!" had no plausible script or storyline, and there just was nothing of any worth to be witnessed on the screen.I gave up on the movie out of complete and utter boredom, and do not intend to return to finish the movie.

INSECTULA! is a typically cheesy indie comedy monster spoof in which characters are menaced by a killer giant mosquito. It has a good and gruesome gag at the opening involving a severed head floating down a stream but that's about it. The story is full of the usual campiness and overacting from amateur performers who bring new meaning to the phrase 'tongue in cheek'. Plot elements include a mad scientist, a buxom woman, laboratory scenes, and lots of gooiness. It's cheap, trashy, and not very good.

There is a lot going on in this movie, if everything had been worked out a bit more it could have been a TV series with a bigger plot and more realistic fleshed out characters than netflix daredevil.But I was very tempted to stop watching a minute in to the movie. For some reason they opted to make it look as if the movie was shot on worn out VHS tape. Lucky for me I got over that, somehow they managed to do everything so wrong in a manner that kept me interested, entertained and in wonderment how they managed to get people to play and the roles they played. I enjoyed it.

The Plot:A giant alien mosquito-type insect is drawn to earth from the CO2 pollution in search of blood. Del, a government agent, loses loved ones to the creature and is on a personal vendetta while the Dr. Kempler is captivated by it and attempts to help the creature cleanse the earth.The one bad review here is just idiotic. This movie is intentionally bad. It's a throwback to Plan 9 and it does it very well.A great late night find.
