==Summary==<br />
<!-- Short, Spoiler-Free Summary; tag-line or elevator pitch. --><br />

"Brace yourself for the ultimate battle between man and nature: evolution has a way of keeping things alive!" When a cockroach-spread plague threatens to decimate the child population of New York City, evolutionary biologist Susan Tyler and her research associates rig up a species of "Judas" bugs and introduce them into the environment, where they will mimic the diseased roaches and infiltrate their grubby habitats. So far so good ... until the bugs keep on evolving and learn to mimic their next prey -- humans.<br />

==Ratings==<br />
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===<br />
<!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" --><br />
* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity)<br />
<br />
===Tentacle Ratings===<br />
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:<br />
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)<br />
<br />
Not very "Lovecraftian", but a story about a subterranean, intelligent race of insects imitating humans wouldn't be far out of place for a [[Delta Green]] scenario.<br />
<br />
''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''<br />

===Keeper Notes===<br />
<!-- Optional. Notes to Keepers on using this for film for scenario ideas. Heresies and Controversies: this is also a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the film's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. * Alternative_theory.
