So the giant bug movie Infestation (US-2009; dir. Kyle Rankin) has crawled out of its pupal stage and appears on DVD in the US on 13 October.
Synopsis:
A slacker wakes up to find himself weak, wrapped in webbing and cocooned to the wall of his office. After realizing that the world has been taken over by giant alien insects, he wakes a ragtag group of strangers and together they fight for survival.
Infestation does for giant bugs what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies, pitting an “ordinary” bloke against an apocalyptic nightmare, with a comedic tongue wedged firmly in its cheek — and some romance thrown in as well. It stars Chris Marquette, Brooke Nevin, Ray Wise, Bru Muller, Deborah Geffner and Efram Potelle and is R rated for “violence, language and brief nudity”.
Kaiju Search-Robot Avery has gathered together so many shots from the film, you could probably make your own version of the movie by stringing the lot together in chronological order. If you’ve got some time on your hands, go for it! Otherwise, wait until tomorrow and pick up a copy from your favourite DVD emporium.

This film was awesome!! One of the best big bug flicks ever! It played like ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ meets ‘Eight-Legged-Freaks’! I caught it when it premiered on the ‘SyFy’ channel a little while back. I can’t wait till you get to see it Rob!
