Great B movie SALUTE!! I have missed this format of movie making , CGI has gotten old and too expected in a flick. This is hands on monster model making and blood and gore. ...a lot of good old fashioned hands on work was put into this flick. I didn't know what to expect from this rare find of a flick!! This obviously took hard work and dedication to an old way of movie making not practiced for a long time due to digital taking everything over. the digital world is fine when used properly and it has its place. Great blood and gore effects through the whole movie!! John Charles Meyer kicks ass in his character does the rest of the cast!!

Besides all the "no CGI" chat... The movie is awful to watch... I'm a avid movie watcher, from all genres and types, and horror are, side by side with suspense, my favorites; but this one makes my laughs go out loud in the neighborhood! Man, what the hell is this? Bad acting, great monster, but also no terrifying one, so, the movie is nearly almost to watch till the end! I never stop watching one, even a piece of "shtako" like this, but I strongly do not recommend anyone to loose time seeing this one! The deaths are so forced and even we knowing that no CGIO was used, the rubber and plastic models used to play these parts lack credibility and this makes the movie very very very ugly!

No summary here. You can get that in the synopsis...Any movie studio that states right up front that they are a NO CGI studio automatically gets a bag of gummi bears from me! I saw "Wrath of the Titans" a few days before this and was looking for the game controller about midway through... I'm really tired of junk computer effects that make the movie feel like a video game. Come on, man!I read a review of this movie on Ain't It Cool News about a year ago, and have been waiting patiently to get my hands on the DVD. I watched it twice already, because they just don't make them like this anymore. The story was good enough. It's not "Citizen Kane," but its not trying to be. The acting is dodgy in a few places, but it certainly is better than what I've seen in a lot of low budget movies. I really bought the cryptozoologist played by Ken McFarlane, and the girl in the VH1 Scream Queens show, Christine Habermann, seemed genuinely upset by her abduction by the hillbillies, even though, somehow, I kept thinking of Looney Tunes while watching the events unfold...Okay, enough of that. THE MILLENNIUM BUG is a gory giant monster movie that could easily have been made in 1986, or perhaps 1966 if you took away the blood and guts. Yep, the giant monster is actually an actor wearing a monster suit, and yep, he smashes through a forest and an old ghost town... all built in miniature! The whole movie is stylized, not "real," and I dig that. So don't sit down and expect realism, because that's not going to happen. Also, the kills are pretty great... very gory, very outrageous. **SPOILER** Within the first ten minutes, the nasty hillbilly woman (who is clearly gorgeous in real life) gives birth in gory detail! Something Hollywood would NEVER show! For me, THE MILLENNIUM BUG is a pretty fun movie. I see a lot of independent horror films, and I've had my fill of slasher, zombie, vampire, paranormal ghost demon yadda yadda yadda movies. This one is WAY different from any indie horror film out there... and that's a real complement, as far as I'm concerned.

I am not a huge horror movie fan but definitely enjoyed this film. And I love the fact that the monsters in this film are man made and not computer generated. It makes it all the more fun. Being an independent film it was closely and precisely made so it looks like it can be a big budget film. The actors were fantastic and delivered. I can really tell the production team are very creative visually! I don't usually write reviews but had to write about this one, because this film cannot be overlooked. If you like CGI free films, great acting, bugs and scary looking monsters, you will love this film. And I think I am in love with Orpheus!
