OK, so some of the visual effects looked like they d come straight from a 1970s edition of Dr. Who , but once this gets up and running it s actually quite an entertaining bug-cum-zombie horror. When a meteorite lands outside a small American town, it s slug-like occupant manages to spore the local bigwig Grant (Michael Rooker) after he had sought some beer-induced woodland comfort after being spurned by his not-in-the-mood wife Starla (Elizabeth Banks) and things turned altogether stickier for him. Meantime, she s always had a bit of a crush on hunky local sheriff Bill (Nathan Fillion) which might well prove useful when he is drafted in to establish just why the town s pet population appears to have disappeared. Has her husband - or his troubling, bubbling, eczema - anything to do with these troubling developments There story is all fairly predicable and there are bound to be a few scenes here that will remind you of earlier John Carpenter or Hammer or even David Cronenberg films, but there is still enough originality and tongue-in-cheek humour to keep this simmering along nicely as a stand alone project. The acting is adequate, as is the writing, and aside from making your next bath an extremely nervous experience, it s an amiable and gory splat-the-rat enterprise that I did quite enjoy.
