Not at all scarey. The acting in this bug flick wasn't that bad, but haven't we all about had it with the lone hero going to a small town battling creatures as well as the locals(almost always so called "rednecks")? Story wasn't all that believable, but hey, I knew that going in. Pretty entertaining for a late night watch. Helluva lot better than watching anything on broadcast tv (can I get an Amen?). Would I rent it again, or buy it, I think not. But I would say that it was worth the $2.99 I paid to rent it for a week.
