About the best you can say for this one is that it's not the worst big bug movie ever made. (What is the worst? Maybe BEGINNING OF THE END, unless you consider THE CREEPING TERROR to be a kind of bug, in which case, that.)
But on the plus side, the bug gets around, decimating research stations and Innu communities alike in the Arctic before buzzing south to Washington DC and thence to New York. It's also a bonus that he gobbles people up like tic-tacs, presumably hoovering them out of wrecked buildings, sealskin canoes, busses and the like.
The interminable opening, with mucho stock footage and a slo-mo crawl across a map, has duly been made fun of (along with the rest of the movie) by the amiable robots of MST3K.
Any fans?
