Welcome to Movie Shortens.
Follow us today to a 2000 American science fiction horror film called: They Nest.
Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
The movie begins with a scene of a man locked in a ship on the sea.
He is suffering from an unknown pain that seems to emerge from the inside.
Later on, a group of people break the door and tie him up.
They tape his mouth then brutally throw him to the sea.
Cut to the next day, we are introduced to Dr. Ben Cahill, who starts to do an operation
on a severe case.
Before he could begin, he starts trembling and loses his focus.
Thus, he walks out of the operation room to the team’s confusion.
Later, his boss then suggests him having some time off as Ben reluctantly agrees.
Days later, Ben goes to Orrs Island in Maiane, where he chose to buy a new house.
While he is on the ferry, a local electrician, Jack Wald, approaches and starts talking with
him.
It turns out Ben’s new house actually belongs to Jack's parents.
Jack claims that the house is supposed to be his.
As Ben arrives at the town on the island, the corpse of the man at the beginning of
the movie washed ashore.
More terrifying, a bug starts to come out from the corpse.
Later on, Jack arrives home to see his brother, Eamon Wald.
He mentions about the conversation with Ben and still hopes to get his parents’ house
back.
In the evening, Ben is having some problems with the power in the house.
Elsewhere, an elder fisherman comes across an abnormal bug, to his surprise.
The next day, the electricity in Ben’s house goes off again.
He has no choice but to go find Jack, who is now drinking with his brother and friends
at a bar.
Ben comes to see Jack and asks him to fix the power while Jack and his friends resent
him.
After Ben leaves, the Sheriff, Mr. Hobbs tells Jack to fix the electricity properly and not
to make any troubles with Ben.
Later on, Ben goes to a hardware store to ask about the lumber he ordered a week ago.
Then, he is guided to see a woman named Neil, who took his order.
Ben arrives at the warehouse to see Neil, who seems to be the kindest person he has
ever talked to since he moved to the island.
She eventually sorts out the problem for Ben, giving him relief.
At night, when Ben is reading a book, he is annoyed by some bugs.
Then, he runs to the kitchen, only to discover a horrifying scene: lots of bugs are eating
the chicken in his fridge.
Next morning, to get rid of the bugs, Ben comes to see Neil, who is in the schoolhouse
with her mom.
Ben is invited to sit in the biology class and wait for a while.
Here, he finds some information about the Madagascan cockroach, which is similar to
the bugs in his house.
After getting out of the school, Ben suspects that Jack must be the one who put the bugs
into his fridge.
When Ben finally buys a tank of bug killer and is about to drive home, Jack approaches
and starts to pick a fight with him.
In the meantime, Sheriff Hobbs receives a call reporting a dead body found on the shore.
Hobbs intervenes and clears out the argument, helping Ben out of the trouble.
Before leaving, Hobbs asks Ben to lend his expertise to check up on the body at the scene.
At the dock, while investigating the scene, Ben finds some infection on the victim’s
wrist and suggests doing an autopsy.
However, Hobbs assumes that the poor guy was drunk and drowned, so he refuses the autopsy.
Later on, we see Ben is putting his suit on and about to kill all the bugs in the house.
As he opens the fridge, the bugs are nowhere to be seen.
Reassured, he carefully puts the chicken in a bag and throws it away.
While Ben is spraying the anti-bug, something is moving in the bag.
At night, we see a mouse kept in a maze surrounded and attacked by a bunch of bugs.
In the meantime, Jack arrives at the transformer station and finds some raccoons lying dead
on the ground.
He doesn’t think much about it and goes to the power control.
While fixing the power, Jack gets bitten by a bug.
As he quickly pulls the pincer out, hundreds of bugs from outside swoop in and attack him.
Meanwhile, Ben is on the way to Jack’s, he is distracted and unexpectedly hits Jack,
whose body is stiff with the hand clenched up.
Moments later, Hobbs and Eamon show up at the scene.
Hobbs sends Ben back to the car and calms Eamon down as he is angry and suspects that
Ben is responsible for his brother’s death.
At the end of the day, Sheriff Hobbs decides to send Jack’s body to the cooler room at
Neil’s place for the autopsy next week.
At this point, Ben is suspected by the townspeople that he killed Jack on purpose.
Ben convinces Hobbs that there was something wrong with Jack before he hit him.
He supposes that Jack’s case and the dead body they found on the shore have something
in common.
To investigate, Ben drives to the transformer station where Jack went earlier and finds
a lot of bugs crawling inside.
After returning home, Ben sees Neil bringing him some food.
While Neil and Ben are enjoying the dinner together, a bug shows up ands interrupts them.
Ben later shows Neil about the Madagascan cockroach he found in the book.
This kind of roach is a highly organized unit like ants or bees, they bite their prey and
paralyze them in order to lay their eggs into the host.
The bugs must have bitten and paralyzed Jack before he was hit in the accident.
When Neil gets back to her place, she goes to the cooler room but forgets to close the
door when she walks out.
A bug crawls out of Jack’s body and escapes.
While Neil is having a bath, the bug slowly approaches her.
Before it could bite Neil, she goes out of the bath and unintentionally kills it.
The next day, Ben makes a call to an entomologist and informs him about the bugs.
However, the entomologist can not give any further information and asks Ben to send him
a specimen.
In the meantime, Eamon and his friends show Hobbs a sound recording of Jack screaming
in pain in the transformer station the day before.
They believe that Ben has murdered Jack in the first place.
Back to Ben and Neil, they are checking on Jack’s corpse in the cooler room, and Eamon
and Hobbs break in.
Eamon starts to hit Ben but Hobbs stops and tells Eamon to go outside.
Moments later, Neil shows Hobbs and Ben some unusual infections on Jack’s legs.
After that, Hobbs takes Ben to the transformer station to find some specimens.
To Ben’s surprise, hundreds of cockroaches that he found yesterday have vanished.
After finding out the dead raccoons in the room, Ben suspects that they could be eaten
from the inside out.
He later picks some dead parts of a bug and puts it into a jar.
Moments later, they see Eamon and his friend are driving to Ben’s place.
Hobbs tells Ben to get to Neil's place and gives him permission to autopsy Jack’s body
while Hobbs tries to deal with Eamon.
In the meantime, Eamon shows up at Ben’s house and starts to mess around.
Hobbs comes to calm him down but gets hit unconscious by Eamon.
He decides to lock Hobbs in Ben's basement then goes and finds Ben.
Back to Ben, he arrives at Neil’s place and starts to prepare the autopsy on Jack’s
body.
Meanwhile, Hobbs wakes up in the basement and finds himself locked inside.
While he uses a knife trying to open the door, hundreds of roaches are lurking out from the
dark.
As Hobbs realizes about the bugs, it is too late for him.
The last thing Hobbs could see is a big slimy parasite crawling into his mouth.
While Ben and Neil are autopsying Jack’s body, they eventually find out parasites are
nesting in his organ.
Ben decides to inform the locals and send them out of the island as soon as possible.
Just then, Eamon learns that Neil and Ben have done the autopsy on Jack’s body, he
gets angry and captures Neil no matter how she tries to explain.
In the meantime, Ben comes home and finds Hobbs sitting in a corner.
Hobbs then vomits a bunch of parasites and collapses.
Ben comes to the bar and informs Eamon about Hobbs’ death.
Disbelieving him, Eamon and his friends start to beat him up and bring him to the cells
where Neil is kept.
During the night, Neil’s mother receives a call from Mrs Hobbs.
After learning that Neil and Ben are imprisoned, she goes to the cells to free them.
Getting out of the jail, Ben and Neil start to evacuate everyone in the town by using
the sheriff’s boat.
In the meantime, before Neil’s mother starts to bring the children to a safe place, Ben
asks her to bring the specimen to the entomologist.
Neil and Ben stay on the island to evacuate the others.
Later on, Ben and Neil make it to the first family, where they see a couple is dying helplessly.
They run to the warehouse by the ferry dock.
Unfortunately, Ben falls to the basement, where he finds millions of bugs on the floor.
While waiting for Neil’s help, he manages to get to a higher place.
At this point, he finds a boy gets stuck in an abandoned car and decides to save him.
He also discovers that the bugs now can fly.
Finally, with Neil’s help, he manages to get to the ground and run away with her and
the little boy, who was bitten by the bug.
Now we can see a flying cockroach is following them.
Meanwhile, the entomologist in the university finally receives the specimen that Ben sent
him.
After realizing such an abnormal thing, he immediately contacts the CDC to warn about
it.
Returning to Ben’s group, they run to the shop and quickly bring the sick boy inside
while Eamon and his friends are waiting to confront Ben.
When Eamon is arguing with Neil, Jack’s body full of parasites is dragged out and
shown to Eamon.
He now is convinced!
All of a sudden, the bugs are heading to the town.
While everyone tries to find a place to hide, Eamon and his friends are left outside and
get bitten to death.
Inside the shop, Ben is urging the entomologist to call help from the CDC.
In a while, he starts to do an operation on the sick boy and successfully stops the parasites
from emerging.
Moments later, they find out that the bugs are gone because of the rain.
Then, they rush to the dock to use the boat to get to a safe place.
As they start to sail, the rain finishes and the bugs are coming after them.
They have no choice but to flip the boat to hide underwater.
Ben takes a risk and gets out to shoot a flare to call for help.
However, he unintentionally ignites a fire which kills all the bugs.
Later on, the rescue team comes and saves them all as the CDC is on their way to contain
the bugs on the island.
Cut to 3 months later, we see one surviving bug clinging on a wooden log finding its way
to a big city.
