The scientist, about to get it from the queen cockroach.
The Nest (1988) explores the dangers of accelerating cockroach evolution through the application of survival pressures. Sounds like an intellectually stimulating tale that’ll educate while titillating, yes?
Don’t believe that shit.
Horrible special effects, mediocre, or worse, acting – although I liked the scientist for her impeccable coiffure in the midst of disaster and mild misanthropy, while my Arts Editor conceived a cautious liking for the exterminator – a bad, confusing plot – whatever happened to the lass with the monster headphones – and creatures that are not only developing resistance to cockroach poison, but have learned how to take over the bodies of their victims.
Cockroach-powered zombies, if you will.
Much like The Blob, their only real vulnerability is a good CO2 fire extinguisher, but how you do that to an entire island boggles the mind. My Arts Editor took to moaning during our debut viewing.
Avoid, avoid, avoid!
