The premise

Horrifying shocker as a biological experiment goes haywire when meat-eating mutant roaches invade an island community, terrorizing a peaceful New England fishing village and hideously butchering its citizens.

Horror Vault's take

A quiet New England island community becomes ground zero for a nightmare when genetically engineered, flesh-hungry cockroaches escape containment and begin slaughtering residents. The infestation escalates far beyond a simple pest problem, as the mutant roaches prove disturbingly adaptable and lethal. Equal parts creature feature and gross-out horror, The Nest delivers relentless bug-fueled mayhem with a slimy, practical-effects-driven nastiness that fans of late-80s schlock will relish.
