Watch The Millennium Bug For Free

Waste of time

Very well executed

Really Surprised!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Traveling out into the woods, a family trying to escape the Y2K virus finds their trip interrupted when they're kidnapped by inbred hillbillies and a vicious, legendary monster awoken from beneath the earth and must find a way to stop both threats to get out alive.For the most part this one here was quite the fun and rather enjoyable creature feature. What really gives this one a lot of weight is the fact that there's just so much utterly enjoyable work to be had here with the blending of the inbred backwoods family genre and the monstrous creature feature. The first half here, where they get attacked in the woods and brought back into the family's house where they're subjected to numerous torturing, tormenting and plenty of rather fun antics with the family holding them there leading to all sorts of fun action scenes of them trying to escape their clutches. From them pushing the family around and constantly beating and smacking them around to the fighting only only with the deranged, deformed members but also the rest of the group makes for some truly fun and engaging efforts here that plays perfectly alongside the type of antics usually found in these kinds of films and it's a fun time giving the family plenty to like in the film, while the big highlight is the return to attack the family which results in some surprisingly brutal moments and a lot of rather graphic bloodshed doling out the deaths against everyone. Once this changes over into the true creature feature it's even more fun with the crazy way in which it rises up out of the ground in the middle of the forest out of the rather huge tunnel and proceeds to trample through the forest attacking the house which is quite a fun series of spectacular action pieces as the truly gargantuan creature smashes through the various levels of the house and breaks up both the different family sections squared off in the house as well as the different methods of bringing the house down around everyone that gives them the chances to escape are truly a lot of fun. The woodland encounters are even more fun, and the finale in the abandoned mining town are truly some of the more fun segments in the film with the creatures' gory kills and monstrous size are put to good use throughout here making for a cheesy good time. With this all being done in miniature effects without too much CGI present there's a great deal to like about this one and helps to make for a great time alongside the fine gore effects on display to really give this one it's positive marks. There's not a whole lot of flaws here, and what happens here is mostly based around the concept of giving the main hillbilly so much screen-time trying to make him imposing that it really fails quite spectacularly here at making him that way. There's little here about his mannerisms beyond holding a gun at everyone and stupidly not taking them out only to keep having to knock them out again later on that routinely gets used to define him and it's not that appealing. Likewise, the fact that it wakes up so late in the film and doesn't do much once it does beyond smashing into everything is another slight problem with this causing too much time on the hillbilly family because of that and it's not as even a split despite the mixing of the genres. It's all that really holds this one down.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity and themes of rape.

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!!

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.

From start to finish, The Millennium Bug is fun and full of surprises! Any fan of horror movies will finds lots to love about this movie. The Millennium Bug creature itself if very wildly imaginative and awesome on screen dishing out brutal creature kills. There are plenty of imaginative gory kills and great one liners peppered throughout as well. One of the best parts of the movie is the Crawford family, especially Billa Crawford played to a perfect redneck villainous pitch by John Charles Meyer. Hopefully I won't have to wait another 1,000 years (how long it takes a Millennium Bug to reach maturity) to wait for another movie from the writer/director Kenneth Cran. Definitely a movie I can't wait to add to my collection.
