If you start questioning the logic behind this story your head will explode. These were subterranean bugs, lived in the dark forever, yet, once given the opportunity, they had no trouble dashing for the surface and tracking down people to attack. (Okay, maybe they occasionally turned on the lights below so they could read, sew, cook......because goodness knows electricity is a lot better than lava light).
Yes, it was dopey, the plot overly familiar, the bad guys standard fare, the children annoying, the bugs.....well, they were BIG. Other than that, this would be all right for a double feature night, providing the second feature was a whole lot better.

Sci-Fi Channel be damned. i never thought they could ever produce a film worth purchasing, but they have. a truly entertaining and original bug movie.A local is con'd out of his home so that miners can dig in his land for riches. what they find are giant beetles with a thirst for human flesh. meanwhile a family of adventurers move in to the area and begin a cave diving tour. they are soon contracted by mercenaries hoping to find out what happened to the mine unaware of the giant beetles below. they decend into the caves and are shut in by a quake leaving them stranded in a cave with man-eaters. The wife and daughter are on the surface and are quickly under siege from the flesh eating bugs. they must find a way, both those on the surface and those below, to stop the pissed off bugs before its to late.Now the sci-fi channel usually has a 2 million or less budget for thier films and usualy do okey with the budget but really bad in total. this is one of the few films that proves that mix-up. The CG beetles are not bad looking and can pass off as shiny giant bugs most of the time. The acting is minimal at most but has some good backup from christopher atkins and colm meaney of DS9.
