Genres: Creature Feature, Classic Horror
Uncut movie available. • Insect
Detective Jim Bishop (Steve Railsback) and Dr. Rachel Carson (Gwynyth Walsh) must find a way to stop a giant murderous insect that is eating people alive before it procreates and spreads a deadly infection. Blending 80s style gore with an endearing 50s style over-sized killer bug, Canadian horror director William Fruet (House by the Lake, Spasms) delivers "a delicious and goopy horror movie [that is] not for the entomophobic..." (thestranger.com).
Cast: Steve Railsback, Gwynyth Walsh, John Vernon, Joe Flaherty, Robin Duke, Susan Anspach, Sarah Polley
Director: William Fruet
Writer: George Goldsmith
Fun Facts
1. Insect is also known as Blue Monkey. In the UK it is known as Invasion of The Body Suckers.
2. Steve Railsback has stated that he was embarrassed to be in this movie.
3. Dr. Rachel Carson is a reference to environmentalist Rachel Carson who wrote the best seller Silent Spring.
4. The original title of Blue Monkey refers to a dream one of the child characters has. This dream acts as an extended metaphor for its plot.
5. Oscar-winning screenwriter/director/actress Sarah Polley was just 8 years old when cast in the role of Ellen in Blue Monkey.
6. It's actually Canadian comedy that ties a lot of the cast together. Robin Duke and Joe Flaherty both appeared on the legendary sketch comedy series SCTV. John Vernon was Dean Wormer in the comedy classic National Lampoon's Animal House. And Don Lake, also at one point involved with SCTV, became a comedy writer/actor often associated with the comedy projects of comedienne/actress Bonnie Hunt.

This movie was great, classic 80s low budget creature feature. I was born in 1977 i grew up on this stuff and i love it, had never seen this one before but i will be watching it more times. Steve railsback is a favorite of mine ever since lifeforce tobe hoopers space vampire masterpiece. John vernon is a stud I've loved him since i was a kid and he was in one of my favorite movies ever killer klowns from outer space. This is a must see for all fans of 80s creature features i loved every minute of it. Thank you very much for uploading this gem, i don't know how i missed it all these years but I'm so glad i seen it. Damn good movie, everyone watch it. Fun time.

Great movie. The real title of this movie is BLUE MONKEY.......This is a summary: While working in a greenhouse, a man receives an insect bite after touching an exotic plant. Immediately, he falls ill and is taken to an emergency room where the doctors diagnose him as suffering from an unknown bacteria, and a strange parasite which emerges from his mouth as a large slimy wormlike creature. Soon, there are more cases of bacterial infection, but the more immediate problem for the hospital is the wormlike creature which after accidental exposure to a genetic growth stimulant grows to monstrous proportions and starts a reign of terror and bloodshed in the hospitals abandoned wing.

[@fearpix-tv]

So fun fact it does have a few titles going around. The original is Blue Monkey but it was changed to Insect in some territories. The actual original title was Green Monkey. The more you know!
