"A gaudy yet grim science-fiction horror movie of such surpassing silliness, humorless intensity and stylistic overkill that watching it may actually put you in a state of paranoia. Why are these moviemakers persecuting us?"

Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune does not seem okay. However we are ESPECIALLY if it involves Richard Gere, America's greatest of the silver foxes. Pair him up for another entry in the Gere and Laura Linney two handers as they take on a giant bug that likes to make crank calls (and predictions) and what you've got is a film that Robert Altman only WISHES that he could have made.

But fortunately for us... Mark Pellington did. Enjoy!
