This surreal indie features a young man living in New York in the not-to-distant future. Acid rain plagues the city making people nuts and the titular title creatures. The man runs into an intriguing woman on the subway but when he tries to talk to her all that is left is a strange tooth. Later the woman becomes his roommate and it all get's absolutely bizarre from there. Red Cockroaches touches on a gamut of topics least of which is incest. Pretty nuts but it's a very good flick otherwise. Very well made and acted on a shoestring.

This movie was complete, utter trash. I can't believe people would pay money for this. Why bother setting it in the future? Why bother with the mutants, or the acid rain, considering it is about INCEST. That is so pointless. The movie was disgusting and glorified incest between a couple of sickos. What about that ketchup scene? That was disgusting. The whole shock value thing is tiresome. YAWN!also, terrible acting and the "special effects" just got in the way of the storyline, which was not very thought out either. The end of the film was very weak, in the sense that they thought it would be easiest just to get rid of characters quickly, than have them stick around for a confrontation.I would have to give this movie a -100 out of 10.

Think Peter Jackson back in the days when he made Bad Taste for $150,000. Cut that budget to $2000 and give him a digital camera. He might have made something very much like this off the wall production by award winning Cuban filmmaker Miguel Coyula. You have a freakish, whacky movie that looks as if it might be a cheap soft porn movie only with sci-fi themes instead of sex themes. (very minor spoilers follow) Set somewhere in the future, Adam meets a lovely girl on the subway only to discover later in the story that it's his sister that he thought had dies years ago. Things get weirder. We're talking a future where DNA replacements feature alongside standard commercials and the news features standard warnings about mutant insects and ozone effects. Red Cockroaches is the first in a planned trilogy - it's almost enough for every indie sci-fi b-movie fan to want to get out of their seat and pool their loose change to put into a Miguel Coyula fund. If this is what he can do with only $2000 the mind boggles.

Red Cockroaches is a freakish, bizarre, avant-garde-ish science fiction/thriller about forbidden love and mutants. Yeah, it's odd, but it's incredibly captivating. The acting is exquisite, the directing divine, and the cinematography is absolutely splendid. The most interesting thing about it? It was shot on a budget of $0 as a labor of love from award winning Cuban filmmaker Miguel Coyula.
