The sub-genre of the animals run amuck genre, the creepy-crawly insects gone wild film category is full of mostly crappy throwaway movies. Things like SLUGS, SKEETER, TICKS and dozens of others are for the most part instantly forgettable. This here semi-intelligent cockroaches gone wrong film isn't much better. The filmmakers did have the decency to at least throw some extra gory scenes in towards the finale with an arm ripped off and a head bitten in two among the blood-flow so at least it has that going for it. Besides this it's a pretty standard and unremarkable entry into the bad bug genre. Also there was already a much better killer cockroaches movie named BUG made back in 1975 written by the great William Castle and in that one the roaches shoot fire out of their asses and spell words with their bodies which is way cooler than these mutating half-roach/half-cat things we get here. So go watch that one instead.
Daddy turns into a big stupid roach-man!:
