    • THE SWARM is a poorly made and utterly laughable film that has gained a minor cult status with bad film fans, and theres an expanded video version that runs a whopping 156 minutes. ( Read More )
    • Alan Jones

      Quick, call on entomologist Michael Caine and a hive of Hollywood has beens to out ham each other while reciting terrible dialogue and getting stung by coloured Styrofoam pellets! ( Read More )
    • What distinguishes the film is how creepy crawly the critters are, authentically inspired by how locusts go from neutral behaviour to the swarming plague phase. ( Read More )
