What Horror Movie Had The Creatures Who Lived Underground That Could Fly?
Posted on: February 9, 20105 comments so far (is that a lot?)
Reading the synopsis on The Descent, it reminded me of a movie I’d seen where at least one of the creatures could fly. I don’t think it was The Descent, although maybe it was. It seems like it was another movie where some people got trapped underground, sort of like The Descent, but seems like it was a different one. Any ideas?

There was a movie titled “Pitch Black” with Vin Diesel, and took place on a planet where creatures lived underground, and when the planet when behind another one every 22 years, the creatures swarmed out of their caves and ate everything in sight, including themselves.
Overall, it was a pretty good grade-B science fiction story. Vin was great in it!

IMDb synopsis:
A virulent new disease is killing the children of Manhattan and has reached epidemic proportions. Peter Mann in desperation asks the entomologist, Dr. Susan Tyler, if she can help by killing the disease carrier, the common cockroach. Susan genetically engineers a new species of predatory insect to exterminate the cockroach and then die off. This novel solution works and the children recover but nature isn’t the laboratory and things don’t exactly go according to plan. Three years later people start to disappear, mutilated bodies are found and wild rumors of giant insects mimicking man start to emerge from the bag people living in the subway under Manhattan. Peter and Susan are called in to investigate,
At about 3:44, you can see the Judas bug spread its wings and fly:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgOCz93vB…

The only one I can think of is The Time Machine, but it wasn’t horror.
The main character goes to a different time, and monsters come from underground and take people down there and trap them there.
It was based on a book; good movie.

“Pitch Black” with Vin Diesel. It was suppose to be Vin’s breakout movie, but that did not happen until “Fast and the Furious”…
