If we’re screaming when we see cockroaches in our bathroom, imagine he’s 20 feet tall and has a recommended diet to eat people, although he’s not famous for attacking people when we pull out 70 pounds and 70 or so corpses. We would have reasons to run there.
We’ve spent decades imagining the idea that insects and spiders undergo mutations that endanger the human kingdom on Earth by magnifying them to unexpected limits. If we’re having a hard time finishing the ant plague, imagine giant ants.
Fear remains in our imagination, luckily no one has succeeded in lifting the bees to 80 kilos and the locusts 100 meters high by many evil experiments.. Unfortunately, many filmmakers wanted to bring this horror to life on the big screen.
If you’re one of those people who suffer every time you go to the country or beach house, and if an insect pops up where it shouldn’t be (pay special attention to the toilets and trash), the movies we bring you today might upset you. There’s enough of you to sleep soundly tonight.
If you want to cure the fear that has gripped you since your first childhood, today’s list may be the shock treatment of the not forgotten.. For better or worse. Without further ado, let’s move on to the movies of the week.

Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards starred in a movie where both he and she were handsome and brave (part of the movie’s success came from that detail because they looked great on the big screen). And the movie didn’t disappoint with 7.3 on IMDb.

shake
In Perfection, a small town on the edge of the Nevada desert, something seems to be happening underground. When phone lines and roads are cut, residents panic as everything indicates something alive and terrifying beneath the desert sands.
As if it were Dune, in Tremors (1990) many of us explored the horrors of the unknown, the underground. And finally it’s about the worms, only Frank Herbert’s was much bigger and less scary. They’re just the right size (unknown) and not a bit of a scare in Tremors.
As heroes, we have the great Kevin Bacon in one of his first roles as an (almost) action hero.and Fred Ward, who will also appear in a second forgotten movie. Or take all the tapes and bury them in the desert with the worms.
