Theme: Bugs


Bugs is as an all-embracing term used here to discuss the various species of insects that regularly turn up in genre cinema. We are not particularly concerned here with the taxonomic division between different species or types of bugs.

Treatments range from the giant atomic spiders and other enlarged insects of 1950s SF cinema. These also includes stories of people transforming into flies and other assorted bugs, as well as insectoid superheroes such as Spider-Man.

There are also a number of animated films talking ants, bees and the like.
