Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

TheLittleSongbird I'll be honest in saying that I wasn't expecting much, and although it was better than expected I didn't get much either. The opening scene is actually quite good having a nice atmosphere to it, the make-up is generally impressive and there are two actors who do try hard and on the most part succeed, Vincent Ventesca is a charismatic lead and William Forsythe plays his role with crusty demeanor that suits him and his character well. However, the monster effects seem cool on paper but look silly on screen, consequently I found it difficult to be menaced by them. The haphazard editing also doesn't help, nor the generic and sometimes sluggish-sounding music. The action and gore is actually not badly paced or done, just that they are derivative of other films that have done certain scenes better, such as Alien with the exploding stomach idea. But the real problems with Larva(or MorphMan) are the clichéd characters(plus none of them are really that likable or well-developed, just how many times are we going to have the "dumb" sheriff idea?), formulaic and very predictable story(the ending you can actually see coming well before it happens because again I have seen endings like that before), the terrible, cheesy script such as someone going back for candy when they are running for their lives and the lack of any real suspense or thrills. I have definitely seen much worse acting, but acting-wise here only Ventesca and Forsythe really stood out. So all in all, lame but at the end of the day not too bad. 4/10 Bethany Cox

KHayes666 When I saw this movie I had just purchased Burger King, after it ended I was thinking that eating BK wasn't such a good idea. First Look Home Entertainment seems to love parasite thrillers (Mosquito Man, Deep Evil, Larva) and this one surely is on the gross list.Vincent Ventresca stars as veterinarian and is forced to look into a cow problem that's driving a local farmer (William Forstyhe)in Host, MO crazy. The town is seemingly a normal redneck habitat, everyone earns their living one way or another from a meat corporation. One day the cow infestation makes its way to humans and all hell breaks loose. Ventresca must join Forsythe to stop the ongoing infestation.This wasn't a horrible movie but it wasn't great either. Made for TV movies usually don't get as much press as others so I can see why not many people have heard of it. The point of the movie was to freak people out, and while it didn't freak me out...it did make me look twice at the BK I had for pests. Highlight of the movie is the opening scene when the kids run away from the larva inside the cow...smartest kids in movie history.Weird movie.....4 out of 10

siderite I am giving this movie a 5, because it had nice gory things in it. That's it! That's the only good part. Everything else is like a zillion other movies with monsters growing up inside a human and bursting out through the belly and the shirt.This time it's liver worms mutated into Spawn like bat creatures that eat humans. By the end of the movie they are so many that it is impossible to kill them by any reasonable scenario, so they just use a big explosion to blow up "the nest". The main actor is the guy from The Invisible Man, average by any standards, the plot silly, the sound average, as it is the soundtrack. Overall, a great average 5 with gory stuff.

freakhouse From the 70's style score to the tobacco filters to the gore that pushes the envelope on what's allowed on broadcast television, this creature-feature delivers in a way most SciFi channel movies don't even try.The acting is superb, especially the comic interplay between Forsythe and Ventresca. The SFX are superior to anything I've seen on this channel. The smooth, deft pacing creates the kind of tension most directors have either forgotten about or never learned in the first place.The story (Corproate greed destroys yet another small town, go figure) isn't Shakespeare, but is endearing for the simple fact that it never takes itself too seriously. I'd like to see more of this kind of TV movie, especially more from its director - Tim Cox - he's obviously one to watch.
