They have done ants, bees, mosquitos, and among others, but it seems no one has ever had the guts to do roaches. Is it because of how intense the gross factor would be?
I could imagine because I have seen The Nest (1988), about killer normal size roaches infecting a small town. There was a couple of half-breed roaches in it (a cat roach and life-size human roach, the latter turning out to be a jumbled mess of work rather than something very original). Men In Black does not count. That was a giant animated cockroach, it didn't look realistic. Mimic does not count either, those were not roaches, the plot dealt with a plague being spread by cockroaches so the scientists created an insect called the Judas Bug to eliminate the roaches, but they ended up getting bigger and taking human form. So Mimic was basically about giant cockroach EATERS and not roaches, heck they don't even look like giant roaches, more like ants with wings.
One exception is a grotesque scene from a freddy film.
