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.
