An unlikely fusion of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and the Mimic franchise, director J.T. Petty (Soft for Digging) takes the helm for this third installment in the giant killer cockroach series. Una... read more read more...ble to leave the germ-free confines of his sterilized bedroom for any real stretch of time, environmentally hypersensitive Judas child Marvin (Karl Geary) spends his days taking pictures of his neighbors from his window. Occasionally catching glimpses of his young sister Rosy (Alexis Dziena) being romanced by the neighborhood drug dealer, Marvin's lens remained mostly fixed on a mysterious neighbor known as "The Garbageman" (Lance Henriksen) and pretty neighbor Carmen (Rebecca Mader), while his slightly overbearing mother (Amanda Plummer) rests on the couch. As neighbors begin disappearing and mysterious figures move in and out of Marvin's viewfinder, the secluded voyeur begins to suspect that a sinister force is at work in his neighborhood. Though Rosy and Carmen are anxious to assist in a little detective work, the situation soon begins to spiral out of control upon the discovery that the Judas breed is far from extinct. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    In a nutshell this is Rear Window with giant bugs. This is a decent sequel to " Mimic" that works despite its low budget ( most of the film, even the exteriors are shot on a set). It has its own sense of style and actually has some very creepy and scary scenes that are played in ... read moreshadow. I'm sure its one of those cases of financial necessity leads to creative invention since you can tell they didn't have the budget for huge effects shots. Also you have a solid cast here with Alexis Dziena and Lance Henriksen being the standouts To sum up, This one is worth a look if your in the mood for a good horror rental and if your a fan of Mimic.

    A very unconventional take on the giant bug genre. Pretty much 'Rear Window' meets the original 'Mimic'. Does a good job tying into the original films and continuing the story. Unfortunately, the pacing betrays the film, as it is pretty boring for the first 45 minutes, and we're ... read moreleft watching questionable actors struggle with a questionable script, in questionable direction production.

    Director Petty does a good job of covering up the awful effects by keeping his creatures back-lit and almost exclusively in the shadows. Despite the majority of the film being fairly boring, the last 20 minutes is a brutal gore-fest that at least comes close to making the previous 45 worth it.

    Even though he's only in it for a short period, Lance Henriksen makes any movie he's in way cooler. All in all, the interesting attempt with a frenzied climax, but its slow beginning and amateurish production keep it from being anything other than so-so.

    I likd the REAR WINDOW aspect, but not much of a story. KGeary is great as the weird Marvin & APlummer still overacts. With unnecessary gore the last 10 mins of the film.

    Awesome movie. And the guy was so cute and sweet. Aw so cute. Loved the whole giant cockroaches. So cool. Glad that they all survived. That mom was a slut, but she died so who cares. I just wish that it was a longer movie.

Illogical and sloppily constructed, and not even a villainous role for Lance Henriksen can elevate it. Full Review

J.T. Petty, incidentally, appears to be the real deal. Full Review

an inoculation of uniqueness and a victorious mix of character-detail and plot...you'll cheer writer-director J.T Petty for the change
