Review:
Its been years since I saw this, I forgot how disgusting this movie is! It also reaffirms my belief that bugs are disgusting creatures. Blech. One of Cronenbergs' best movies though and terrific performances from Goldblum and Davis. I think hollywood needs to go back to making creature features instead of slasher flicks.
I agree...hollywood needs to make less slaher flicks and more creature features.
