Review – Larva

I spend a lot of time griping about how bad horror movies suck at least in part because they don’t have enough plot. This one seems to have come down with the opposite malady. A big agribusiness concern has done something to the cattle in a small farming community. They’re producing more meat, but apparently they’re also producing giant, mutant liver flukes (that for some reason look like flightless bats). And the closer we get to the end the more obscure the characters’ motivations become. And just as the Kansas of The Wizard of Oz is sepia-toned black and white, the Missouri of this effort is orange-filtered. Despite its many shortcomings, I liked it at least a little because one of the characters wore a KC Royals cap. Hey, when it comes to my team I’m easy to please (a character trait that comes in handy if you’re a Royals fan). Mildly amusing
