Cami is a dedicated student of entomology that is researching insects in her sorority house. When her sorority sister Josi sprays insecticide on her bugs, Cami becomes upset. But sooner she learns that the insects had grown bigger and bigger and she and her sisters are under siege by the insects. Further, Josi is the host of the breed of mutant insects that are very hungry.

Why it matters

A low-budget creature feature that turns a college sorority house into a claustrophobic battleground against monstrous mutant insects.

  • Practical effects and stop-motion critters deliver old-school creature feature vibes for fans of ’80s and ’90s bug horrors.
  • A niche blend of entomology obsession and teen slasher tropes, perfect for viewers who dig campy experimental sci-fi horror.
  • The film’s pacing and performances falter, but its relentless insect onslaught keeps the tension buzzing.
  • For those who appreciate micro-budget creature chaos over polish—think early David DeCoteau meets Roger Corman’s creature flicks.
