Another gem from the William Castle collection - this time featuring flesh eating, flame throwing killer cockroaches from hell. Actually, well written with some decent performances if a touch slow at times.`

Intriguing apocalyptic vision with biblical undertones, all this going on in the guise of a cockroach creature feature. Heavy stuff indeed. Some great death scenes considering that special effects were fairly tacky in the non-digital age.

Its a horror film with a heady messsage, imaginative even if slightly confused and with an unmistakable touch of geniuses handiwork. That genius being the master of showmanship and gimmickry, the king of tackiness, William Castle himself. This, sadly, was the great man's last production, and its a fair effort, if not quite on of his greatest triumphs.
