Bug! (1975)
Apr 11, 1999Intelligent Firestarting Insects
William Castle production about the discovery of a species of insects that can start fires. Easily dismissable as a schlock film but it has an intelligence and eerie insect photography that make it more than that
A Fire in the Sky (1978)
Jul 14, 2013Comet on a Collision Course with the Earth
TV movie about an impending asteroid collision that was intended as a copy of the big-budget disaster movie Meteor but is actually a far better film. The science and Civil Defence reaction is written with an impressive credibility
