| User ReviewPrivate UThis is a biased rating. I had to rate it good. They gave me 3 screen credits and let a giant larva eat me in the basement of a hospital! LOL! As far as camp goes, it's GREAT camp! And I LOVE those beef, no dairy, no BEEF cattle! ;-) |
| User ReviewPaul PFilmed on location in the building in which I work! That cool-factor alone rates it 5 Stars in my book. All of the hospital scenes--including the creepy industrial tunnel scenes--have a special connection that makes the fear factor REAL. OK the bat things are a huge slice of cheese, but if I were to show you this movie and then leave you in the tunnels underground, you would not be laughing... |
| User ReviewTarrin RPersonally I like this show because it has one of my favorite actors on it - Invisible Man. Anyways, the show isn't too bad either, graphics could be better, but it's pretty good coming from Sci-Fi though. |
| User ReviewJed D"For a B movie, it absolutely rocked!!!" For B-film fanatics, you will enjoy this one. I loved it!!! |
| User ReviewSarah HPretty good for a Sci-Fi Channel Original movie. I liked watching it. The magots were pretty cool...just the larva. |
| User ReviewPamela DLARVA starts out looking interesting, but fails to develop into what it could have been. Formulaic and predictable, but well done for what it is -another parasitic-invasion flick, only in this one, the parasites mutate into monster-slashers. |
| User ReviewKevin HWhen first I saw this movie I had just purchased Burger King, after it ended I was thinking that eating BK wasn't such a good idea. First Look Home Entertainment seems to love parasite thrillers (Mosquito Man, Deep Evil, Larva) and this one surely is on the gross list. Vincent Ventresca stars as veterinarian and is forced to look into a cow problem that's driving a local farmer (William Forstyhe)in Host, MO crazy. The town is seemingly a normal redneck habitat, everyone earns their living one way or another from a meat corporation. One day the cow infestation makes its way to humans and all hell breaks loose. Ventresca must join Forsythe to stop the ongoing infestation. This wasn't a horrible movie but it wasn't great either. Made for TV movies usually don't get as much press as others so I can see why not many people have heard of it. The point of the movie was to freak people out, and while it didn't freak me out...it did make me look twice at the BK I had for pests. Highlight of the movie is the opening scene when the kids run away from the larva inside the cow...smartest kids in movie history. Weird movie.....2 out of 5 |
| User ReviewDrew SI can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! Larva is the movie that started my obsession with awful horror movies. For that, I must give it some sort of cursory rating. At the same time, though, it's almost impossible to enjoy on any level. Like many of the movies on the Sci-Fi channel, it is taking itself a lot more seriously than it deserves, and when that happens no one has any fun. Half of the enjoyment comes from the title. LARVA. |
| User ReviewGerard DGiant 'corporate' larvae (flying face hugger-look-a-likes) take over a small town in Missouri. No one believes the young vet, in the beginning, of course. Entertaining, but very cliché. |
| User ReviewWes Swell the story line was ok....but the monster bat in the movie wasn't that scary.... |
