Casey and her two best friends, Jill and Kristen go away on a bridal party/vacation one week before Casey is to marry Jared. They visit a locals only beach and Casey get's bitten by an unseen bug in the water. This begins her slow transformation into a sort of queen bug. Think the fly, only with a different spin.

None of the actors are great, though Elma Begovic does a decent job as Casey. The writing is not the strongest, nor is the directing or editing. This movie plods along and feel padded for run time in spots. What this movie does have going for it, and it has it in spades, is phenomenal practical effects. There is absolutely no CGI in this, and that alone makes it a 7 star movie. While anyone that has ever seen Orbeez will instantly recognize them here, they are still well used to create what the writer wanted.

This is decent enough for what it is, a low budget horror, but I did struggle to remain interested in it during the run time.
