A comet travels through the universe and enters earth's atmosphere. It carries entities which need a host to survive and soon infect everything,the insects and the people. Or is it?

 

Malik Khan,a decorated Marine,goes on a rescue mission,to get his two sons away from the alien invasion. While he gets ready we see him kill all these bees which find their way through the crack in the wall. Apparently a safe way to kill them is the old insect killer spray.

 

Khan believes his ex wife is infected too,and we are quick to believe it,as we see her getting stung by a bee.

 

The movie's plot twist comes pretty soon,and I loved this turn of events as all is not what it seems.

 

I liked the movie,it was an original idea,the bug thing reminded me of the movie Bug with Ashley Judd.

 

I loved the soundtrack,it was so zen!

 

What I didn't like were the kids who to me were just annoying characters.

 

SPOILERS

Then the young one starts acting up,he throws his toy in the middle of the road from the car window,and then has a temper tantrum,almost killing everyone in the car,as he starts fighting his father who was driving,grabbing his head.

Then the old one takes the torch again,trying to kill the police who came for them, as the father suffers from a rare disease and could kill them.
