Retro Trailer For The 1988 Mutant Cockroach Horror Movie THE NEST
This week’s retro trailer is for the 1988 horror movie The Nest, which tells the story of flesh-eating zombie-like mutant cockroaches that terrorize a peaceful New England fishing village.
The film was directed by Terence H. Winkless and the story is set in the quiet island town of North Port. The movie revolves around a series of gruesome deaths and unexplainable events that startle the community. The local sheriff, Richard Tarbell, begins investigating the mystery and soon discovers that the culprit behind the attacks is a breed of genetically-altered, flesh-eating cockroaches.
These creatures have been accidentally unleashed from a laboratory owned by the INTEC corporation, which has been conducting secret experiments. As the mutated roaches multiply and spread, they threaten to overrun the entire town. Teaming up with the town's doctor, Sheriff Tarbell must devise a plan to exterminate these deadly pests before they wipe out the entire population.
As the crisis deepens, it becomes clear that these are no ordinary roaches. They have the ability to assume the characteristics of the creatures they consume, leading to even more horrifying mutations. With time running out, the townspeople must confront both the terrifying creatures and the dark intentions of the INTEC corporation, which is more concerned with covering up its role in the catastrophe than in helping to stop it.
The battle for survival culminates in a suspenseful showdown between man and mutant in a desperate bid to save the town from complete annihilation. Enjoy the trailer!
