THEY NEST

Cinemavixion Review

Ellory Elkayem's 'They Nest' plunges viewers into a chilling isolationist horror narrative. Set on a remote Maine island, the film crafts a palpable sense of dread as a vacationing doctor, portrayed with escalating unease by Thomas Calabro, uncovers a terrifying infestation. The premise—a deadly breed of flying cockroaches—is inherently unsettling, tapping into primal fears of contagion and invasion. Dean Stockwell and John Savage lend their veteran presence to the supporting cast, adding weight to the claustrophobic atmosphere. While the film leans into its B-movie creature-feature roots, it effectively builds suspense and delivers visceral scares, making it a compelling watch for fans of creature-centric horror that thrives on a disturbingly plausible, yet grotesque, central threat.
