Bug
Out of the worst nightmare!
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc
Produced by William Castle Productions
A creature-feature horror-thriller about mutant fire-starting cockroaches unleashed by natural disaster, blending B-movie spectacle with apocalyptic dread.
An earthquake releases a strain of mutant cockroaches with the ability to start fires, which proceed to cause destructive chaos in a small town. The studies carried out by scientist James Parmiter, however, reveal an intent with much more far-reaching consequences.
