That would be "Bug."  I haven't seen it in probably 2 decades, but it sticks with me.  Maybe it will hold up better than "Phase IV" did.

About the second "Grizzly" film.

The person to ask would be Patty from WilliamGirdler.com, but I do not think that she is active anymore with her site.  From what I remember, "Grizzly II" was never finished and what they did get done was never released.

Thanks, Andrew. Thats the film.  Still "burnt" into my head from when I was 8

Prophecy is on AMC right now. 11:16 central US time.

As I have not seen this in 18 years I better go watch it.

Rocky Horror is also on but I guess Prophecy wins

The only movie I can think of with roaches was Joe's Apartment.  :)  Not exactly horror unless you were the girl that the roaches dropped down on by accident.  Hmmm can't forget Arachniphobia.  I can't stand spiders and I have this movie.  I can not bring myself to watch it too often.  
I remember this one movie that I saw years ago about a scientist that was turning this other guy slowly into a King Cobra.  Anybody know what that movie was called?

A few that I own are (some are not really animals, but they are all in the tradition of the typical "killer animal" movie):

* A DAY OF THE ANIMALS (directed by William Girdler, who also directed GRIZZLY)

* PIRANHA

* SQUIRM (okay, its actually worms, not animals)

* FROGS (reptiles go wild!)

* WILLARD (the remake . . . I wish the original would come out on DVD)

* RATS

* EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (again, not animals, but giant ants)

* THE KILLER SHREWS (dogs made up to look like giant shrews . . . sort of)

* THE BIRDS

* JAWS

* THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN

* QUEEN KONG

* ANACONDA

Um...

Last I checked, worms and ants were animals.

I mean, they're not plants.  They're not minerals.  That pretty much leaves animals.

Right?

I mean, if you know something I don't, I'll back the hell up.  But I'm pretty sure I'm right.

For once.

Also, might I add Deadly Eyes to the list?  Rats (actually Dachshunds in fancy dress) invade The City and make a nuisance of themselves.  It's based on an excellent James Herbert novel called The Rats and is deliciously cheesy.

So to speak.

Cullen:

You may be right.  I just don't normally think of bugs as being animals.  I mean, when you get bit by a mosquito, do you consider it to be an animal bite?  Technically, maybe it is.  But I usually place worms and ants in a different category than bears and dogs.

I can see that, I guess.  I kind of think of them more as things that go squish, myself...

Um, the ants and worms.

Not the bears and dogs.

Not that I go out of my way to squish either of them.

Ah, er, yeah.

That's what I meant.  

Right.

Which brings to mind, of course, "Eight Legged Freaks."  A very fun movie, imo.

The Deer Hunter...  oh wait.  That's an Animal Killer movie.  Sorry.

As man is an animal, can we start listing ALL movies with serial killers, etc?

:)

If we're going to do that, how about a list of all the war movies instead?

[ulthar]

Or Romantic Comedies....the ones that make you wish you were dead.
