Synopsis: Smallville High geek Greg gets into a car accident while transporting his insect collection; when they bite him, he transforms into a human/insect hybrid. He has his sights set on Lana, and won't let anything--including Clark--get in his way. Will Lana be saved in time?

The Good: Superhero stories are known for their likable heroes, despicable villains, and epic action sequences; that's exactly what you get here. It's easy to see why this account of a young Clark Kent was as popular as it was back in the day.

The Bad: Though not exactly morally offensive, this was a bit harder-edged than I would have liked; see below for why.

Content Concerns:
Sex: Kissing and flirting.
Nudity: A guy is seen in the shower; nothing critical is seen.
Language: Two or three uses of the h-word; a song featuring (censored) f-words.
Violence: Fantasy action violence, which leads to a death; a human character is seen molting, bug-style; a character kills his own mother (not graphic).
Drugs: None.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Scary villain; Clark's reaction to Kryptonite; a dead body is seen; emotional intensity,
Other: The villain is not only scary, but disgusting as well.
