When I saw this movie I had just purchased Burger King, after it ended I was thinking that eating BK wasn't such a good idea. First Look Home Entertainment seems to love parasite thrillers (Mosquito Man, Deep Evil, Larva) and this one surely is on the gross list.
Vincent Ventresca stars as veterinarian and is forced to look into a cow problem that's driving a local farmer (William Forstyhe)in Host, MO crazy. The town is seemingly a normal redneck habitat, everyone earns their living one way or another from a meat corporation. One day the cow infestation makes its way to humans and all hell breaks loose. Ventresca must join Forsythe to stop the ongoing infestation.
This wasn't a horrible movie but it wasn't great either. Made for TV movies usually don't get as much press as others so I can see why not many people have heard of it. The point of the movie was to freak people out, and while it didn't freak me out...it did make me look twice at the BK I had for pests. Highlight of the movie is the opening scene when the kids run away from the larva inside the cow...smartest kids in movie history.
Weird movie.....4 out of 10
