They Nest (DVD) [Cover Page a bit tatty]

Off the coast of Maine, an African cargo vessel mysteriously explodes and crashes into the harbour. What no one knows is that the crew have already been dead for days...

Meanwhile Dr. Ben Cahill (Thomas Calabro) arrives on Orrs Island to resolve some personal problems and receives a hostile reception. The locals do not like outsiders and in particular Jack Wald (John Savage) does his best to make Ben feel unwelcome.

Soon bizarre and frightening deaths start to occur on the island. Each victim appears to have died by natural causes, yet each has red insect bite-marks on their flesh. When Wald's dead body is discovered all fingers point to Ben. To clear his name, Ben performs an autopsy to establish the true cause of Wald's death. He is horrified to discover insect cocoons filling the man's chest. A rare breed of African cockroaches has invaded the island and are using the insides of humans as breeding grounds. When a new hybrid of flying cockroaches evolve and begin to engulf the island, the town's people must run for their lives to escape the hordes of bugs, or be eaten alive!
