(2009) ***
Giant insects
Half human/half bug mutants.
And Laura Palmer’s Father.
All the makings of a really fun watch, and it is. The film begins with Cooper awakening at his office building, he’s wrapped in a cocoon and being stalked by what appears to be a giant dung beetle. He fights off the man-sized bug using office supplies. How you ask? Like chopping a leg off in a paper cutter. He finds himself surrounded by fellow workers, also wrapped in cocoons. He eventually releases a ragtag bunch of misfits so they can save the world. Cooper is rather dull and forgettable, so are he cohorts. The bugs were the real stars here, that is until Leland Palmer shows up. Leland kicks some insect ass, saving the film from a much lower rating. A fun watch, no biggie if you miss it.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun! Leland Palmer is also in Jeepers Creepers 2 and a ton of other horror movies. I just looked on IMDB and a film called "Mega Spider" is listed as his latest work. I think he has been typcast forever because of Twin Peaks.
Maybe it's a sequel to this.
It sounds totally fun! That half bug guy looks pretty bad-ass.
those images are all great!
i think if more people review this, the half bug guy deserves a spot in the Horrorthon banner. that dude is awesome.
I feel like a whole new world of cinema has opened up since I finished watching Twin Peaks. . . Laura Palmer's dad seems to be everywhere!
I love these images! It's cool how CG loses a lot of its unrealism when you don't have to watch it move.
That Laura Palmer's Dad looks totally real.
Nice review, Cat!
