Good concept, poorly executed.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The obvious similarities: sound effects borrowed from blade runner. The advertisements for the off-world colonies playing in the background.The subtle: the brother and sister falling in love before realizing they're related. Yet, somehow, i don't think they are related (father was a scientist for DNA21... perhaps doing some experiments with his own offspring), but they did grow up together... it's complicated. Definitely not as simple as: they're brother and sister, it's incest. Anyway, that reminds me of blade runner because, in the directors cut of BR you might get the idea that Harrison Ford's character (Deckard) is a replicant like Rachel, and probably of the same generation (nexus 6), thus sharing a lot of the same genetic material, practically brother and sister.Anyway, forget all about Blade Runner the movie, think more along the lines of the style of author Philip K. Dick. This is a thought-provoking movie. Shocking, funny, silly, scary... sometimes predictable and/or badly acted, but never dull.It'll be interesting to see what this director does in the future.

I would like to mention two things about this movie: 1) Although it had a very very low budget (almost none, it is said!), the director managed to create a unique atmosphere and a nice tension that keeps you in it until the end. Congratulations on this issue.2) You feel like cheated at the end of the movie. The themes that fly around the whole movie (future life, acid rains, DNA studies, even cockroaches!) and also the thrills that keep you interested (dream-like sequences, psychological aspects built at the beginning, etc.) all fall loose! All you are left with is an incest story told in a stylish way. I wonder why did the director choose the "future theme" for its movie, since none of its features fit into the movie or enrich it. Everything could have been set in today or even the past.Good effort and talent, but lots of problems with the story and cinematography.

This movie was complete, utter trash. I can't believe people would pay money for this. Why bother setting it in the future? Why bother with the mutants, or the acid rain, considering it is about INCEST. That is so pointless. The movie was disgusting and glorified incest between a couple of sickos. What about that ketchup scene? That was disgusting. The whole shock value thing is tiresome. YAWN!also, terrible acting and the "special effects" just got in the way of the storyline, which was not very thought out either. The end of the film was very weak, in the sense that they thought it would be easiest just to get rid of characters quickly, than have them stick around for a confrontation.I would have to give this movie a -100 out of 10.

Think Peter Jackson back in the days when he made Bad Taste for $150,000. Cut that budget to $2000 and give him a digital camera. He might have made something very much like this off the wall production by award winning Cuban filmmaker Miguel Coyula. You have a freakish, whacky movie that looks as if it might be a cheap soft porn movie only with sci-fi themes instead of sex themes. (very minor spoilers follow) Set somewhere in the future, Adam meets a lovely girl on the subway only to discover later in the story that it's his sister that he thought had dies years ago. Things get weirder. We're talking a future where DNA replacements feature alongside standard commercials and the news features standard warnings about mutant insects and ozone effects. Red Cockroaches is the first in a planned trilogy - it's almost enough for every indie sci-fi b-movie fan to want to get out of their seat and pool their loose change to put into a Miguel Coyula fund. If this is what he can do with only $2000 the mind boggles.
