Hello, everyone! :)
Can someone suggest me some good horror films with lots of bugs as MAIN antagonist?
For example I like "They Nest". TV FILMS or FEATURE FILMS from 1990-2012 would be best :) I don't care if it's A or B grade films as long as they have some suspension and interesting characters or backstory... :)
Thanks!

It's more a psychological horror but you might like Bug (2006)

Ticks (1993): Well worth a look if you like over the top, dumb ass movies. Tony Randel directs and does a pretty good job, some great old fashioned fx along with some impressively bad acting, including Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince) trying to play an inner city street kid. Dumb fun at its best, well worth a watch.

I've seen this film... Although I like psychological horror, but this one somehow wasn't that interesting to me...

Blah, that movie doesn't contain a single bug.
I'd say "Ticks", "Infestation", "Squirm", "Them", "Spiders", "Bug", "kingdom of the spiders" and of course "Arachnophobia".
I also recall a movie from the beginning of 2000 about a small island infested with bugs. Can't remember the name tho.

It is good and that's the first movie that came to my mind too. I love the final shots with the spider.

You really should see Squirm.

I recommend:
Arachnophobia
Phantasm (a fly scene)
The Willies (fly segment, though this is a terrible film at the most)
The Swarm
The Bees
Them (I heard this was good, but never saw it)
The Deadly Mantis
The Nest
Creepshow (cockroach segment)
Phenomena
The Fly (though not an insect film)
The Wasp Woman (see previous)
I do not recommend (if someone already mentioned this already):
Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation (worst bug film - ever)

Do not forget the Zanti Misfits from "the Outer Limits", as seen in the episode of the same title, featuring creepy but interesting ants.

I know it was already said, but..
-Bug
-It's a bit of a dark comedy (I think) but I like
-Arachnophobia (1990) John Goodman

It's not the key aspect of the film, but I also loved the bug scene in The Beyond (1981, Fulci) - it's just so drawn out and purposeful! Really seems like those little bastards have an agenda. Fuck spiders.
