Sick Girl (2006)

"Sick Girl" is a combination of morbid romantic comedy and the over-the-top B horror, in the Henenlotter style. Angela Bettis plays the entomologist, a lonely and insecure lesbian whose apartment is full of pet insects. She looks like she fell out of the forties, and her voice and the way she talks were terribly annoying to me. She meets Misty Falls, beautiful but strange and mysterious girl, played by Erin Brown, to fans of lesbian fantasy soft-porn better known as Misty Mundae. Just google her filmography and everything will be clear. The two of them become a couple and start living together. At the same time, Angela receives an anonymous shipment with an unknown species of insect. This creature escapes from its box and starts a series of unfortunate events which, although fun, are a sorry excuse for the horror genre. Also, there is no chemistry between the actresses, or at least I have not felt it. The episode was originally intended for Roger Corman and if he weren't replaced by Lucky McKee it might be better. This way it's neither scary, nor funny, nor romantic. The word which, in my opinion, best describes this episode is "awkward".5/10

The main actress was a terrible actress, she was imitating Microsoft Sam or whatever the application is called. The only good part was right at the end when the lesbian turns into a crazy bug monster and eats the co-worker of the main lead. .Clam lickers unite, but the characters were not really believable, especially when one is based on a 1950's prude wife and the other is a spaced out hippy who has hair like the chick from the ring. It started out strong with the conversation between the lead and her colleague but it trailed off after that.I agree with one message in the film though, lesbians are not paedophiles and the old lady should have chilled out, glad she "fell" down the stairs lol. There were breasts, but they were not as good and do not redeem this flick.

It has it all, great characters, (Angela Bettis putting in an even better performance than in "May"), great sets, quirky lesbians, originality, and insects! Most of all, the cutest little green leaf bug ever! The sight of him waving his little arms around as if in greeting, whilst perched on a finger, is the highlight of the insect scenes, easily making him the star of the show! How could anyone not go aaahh, he's so cute! - I just hope they treated him right! Anyhow, there was no point throughout the whole hour where I became bored or restless watching "Sick Girl", and that is very rare for me.Full marks to the makers, for originality, interest, quirkiness, fascinating insect-filled apartment where the entomologist lady (Bettis)lived, (I would love an apartment like that one!) good horror moments for fans of the genre, humour without being annoying, as it often is in horror movies, but most of all, the star of the show, that adorable little green leaf bug. Aaahhh! He should have had a name and been given his own inclusion in the credits. So sweet!

The lonely, shy and lesbian etymologist Ida Teeter (Angela Bettis) of The McNaughton Museum of Natural History is obsessed by her "pets", actually her collection of insects. She works with her colleague and friend Max (Jesse Hlubik), also her adviser in sexual behavior. Ida receives an anonymous package from Brazil with an unclassified insect but the weird bug breaks free from the box. Meanwhile Ida falls in love for the gorgeous Misty Falls (Erin Brown), who is bitten and infected by the bug and moves to Ida's apartment. When Ida receives letters from her former Professor Malcolm Wolf explaining how the insect reproduces and transforms the animals he bites, Ida is apprehensive about Misty."Sick Girl" is one of the best episodes of "Master of Horror" show. Directed by Lucky McKee (of "May") and with Angela Bettis performing another weird and eccentric character, the story recalls the sci-fi / horror genre of the 50's or 60's with eerie monster and lots of black humor. I was surprised with the extensive filmography of the good and beautiful actress Erin Brown, who is completely unknown for me. I believe most of her movies have not been released in Brazil, and this is certainly the first film that I see her. Surprisingly there are bad reviews in IMDb of this episode. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Criatura Maligna" ("Evil Creature")
