Picture

Bugged (1997)

Sc-Fi/Horror     Rated PG-13

Plot

An entertaining low-budgeter with an agreeably goofy sense of humor, Bugged puts a comic spin on the "insects amok" subgenre. Thanks to a van accident, some canisters of a genetic mutating agent get mixed up with pesticide being delivered to an extermination company. Two of the company's workers unwittingly spray some pesky crickets with the DNA chemical … and are soon confronted with a horde of giant insects!

Acting

The entire cast is on the same level, below average, but above terrible. The performance overall fit with the movie quite well. Also features the most enjoyable Lloyd Kaufman intro I've seen to date.

Gore

Lots of giant bugs get smashed up and spew out blood, as does one or two people.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

Bad Special effects, bad script, generic storyline, and decent directing, but an entertaining movie. Another fine example of a "so bad, it's good" movie, and despite it being release through the Troma DVD label, its is not a comedy, and is only comical because it is so badly made. As long as you are a bad movie fan, watch it.
