  • The Swarm (France) 2020

    From william ahearn@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 10 18:38:58 2021
    Hey,

    A farm in France where the livestock isn't cattle or horses or pigs. The farmer – a widow and single mother – is raising locusts as a natural protein for farm animals much to the embarrassment of her children. The locusts are roasted and ground into
    an additive for animal feed. Something is affecting the locusts and production is off.

    There seems to be a solution. The locusts are found feeding on the blood when the son has an injury. Little by little – through some interesting events – the woman realizes she might have a solution to her problem.

    What I really appreciated about this film is that it isn't fodder for a Horror Con convention. It isn't aimed at juvenile viewers who might appreciate 1957's Beginning of the End. The film is more concerned with the mother's struggle than being a bug
    blood fest.

    The French title is La Nuée and it's well made with an interesting ending.

    Good review, sounds like a movie I'll definitely see. Thanks for not
    pulling a moviepig.

    The whole film can only be described in the last 20
    minutes of the film. I know it's not my type of film, but I'm sure
    want to tell u. It's a very slow film to get into the plot and it's so stressful. :)
