I have seen plenty of alien/monster horror movies and some have been good and others remarkably bad.
The movie starts of well with good effects but the overall story and poor casting of talentless characters let this film down.
The film is about a girl who buys a stuffed teddy bear not knowing a horrifying creature(or insect) has made a home inside it. As you've guessed it, the girl brings the teddy bear to her home and all hell ensues.
The title of the movie "The Nest" is apt, it shows that instinct of the creature it portrays. Blue Monkey (1987),Slugs(1988),The Nest(1988),Ticks(1993),They Nest(2000) are similar movies.

3.3Plot summary
Beth (Sarah Navratil),Jack (Kevin Patrick Murphy) and their young daughter Meg (Maple Suttles) are a loving but struggling family who have recently relocated to a deceased family member's home due to Beth's past drug addiction which has left deep emotional and financial strains on her marriage and cost her a beloved teaching job. After Meg suffers a traumatic accident and develops extreme separation anxiety to her mom, Beth and Jack grow even more estranged. One thing they do agree upon though is that Meg needs more help than her school counselor Ash (Drez Ryan) can provide. As Meg's behavior becomes more erratic and her attachment to her stuffed bear Ricky and her mom grows, Beth begins to suspect that something more sinister is happening within her family. When Jack and their family friend Marisa (Dee Wallace) begin to exhibit signs of attachment to Meg and also to one another, Beth's concerns become increasingly paranoid. Beth is haunted by nightmarish visions of parasitic creatures that threaten to engulf her family and her sanity. Beth is soon thrust into a world of emotional dependency and horror as the people she loves and trusts most push her into a chasm of drug addiction, self-destruction, and maternal sacrifice.

Below average creature film with good effects but a bad script.

Beetle Juice
Jack (Kevin Patrick Murphy) and Beth (Sarah Navratil) pick up a Teddy Bear for their daughter Meg (Maple Suttles) at a yard sale and we already know there is something wrong with the bear. Meg gets sprayed with beetle juice and catches a bug. It isn't long before the parasite multiplies.
The characters were not griping. The film moved slow. Would have made a better novel.
Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

Not bad!
When Meg and her mother Beth visit a yard sale, the little girl finds a stuffed bear that just may help with her separation anxiety. Soon, she's dragging the bear everywhere she goes and will only talk to and through it while hoarding supplies for her imaginary friend. What if - and I'm just spitballing here - that bear has a parasitic bug creature inside it? Well, welcome to The Nest, which is one of the weirdest and goofiest - in a good way - films I've seen this year.
Beth and Jack have been having some dark days, what with her drug addiction and the financial damage it has done to their marriage. Now living in the home of a recently deceased family member, they try and start all over but are only growing further apart. Now, not only is Meg overly attracted to her bear, but their family friend Marisa (Dee Wallace!) and Jack are overly attached to Meg, creating this strange circle of weirdness, all while the painkillers Beth needs to get past a brutal fall down the steps give her nightmarish visions of parasitic creatures that are using her family for sustenance.
So yeah - if you watch one movie about an otherwordly bug that lives inside a teddy bear named Ricky that possesses a young girl and makes her drug-addicted mother doubt reality - actually there's no other movie like that. The last scene of this made me laugh at its utter audacity and I consider that a triumph.
