They Nest

2000 · 92 min

A schlocky creature-feature that creeps under your skin with bug-crawl dread and small-town paranoia, more gross-out than genuinely scary.

Directed by
Ellory Elkayem
Genres
Science fiction, Horror, Tv movie
Tagline
It's feeding time...
Overview
After freezing up under pressure in the emergency room, Dr. Cahill decides to spend a few months unwinding on a little Maine island where he immediately gets off on the wrong foot with the locals. Meanwhile, a body has washed up on shore infested with a strange type of carnivorous cockroach. But when Dr. Cahill tries to warn the townsfolk of the danger, they are naturally skeptical. Will they realize the truth before it's too late?
