This one is kind of goofy, and I like the special effect used for the bug, but quite honestly the reactions after the bug doesn't make sense, even for a "one of the first ever films" vibe. He starts swinging at other bugs after the first huge one dies, but you see nothing during the time. It might be because of quality, but it seems unnecessary. It's very interesting to review this film, however, considering it's still part of the horror genre, as it shows how deeply instilled comedy can be in horror even from the very beginning of the film genre. Camp too! It can be classified as a campy film, and I honestly believe camp and horror go hand in hand.
