Der Schwarm der Schrecken

Feel like an original story even though animal horror in a small town is nothing new. So I expected something different from a Hollywood clone and yes, bingo! This's a right shot. The whole movie has successfully created an eerie, suspending atmosphere. Unlike Hollywood clones, it doesn't depend on any sudden sound effect to make u scream and jump up. Simply, it's kinda gradual sense of horror.

Still, the movie has it rough edges. The ending doesn't make a good sense. It's not that bad, but just could be way better if the director knows that humans are not the only living organism in the woods ;)

This movie is def not for everyone. If u r not fond of slow pace horror movies, then stay away from it.

The movie has a good and interesting idea, but the execution is kinda poor, some of the decisions didnt made a lot of sense. But the metaphor is there.

And for Movi3DO, the movie is French, not Spanish.

As the titles says movie suffers from lazy writing, predictable story.

Actors did a good job. Atmosphere and tension building was good.

Plot was created for 5 mins during a toilet break, but other then that it was enjoyable to watch with popcorns with friends, where what is on the TV, doesn't really matter.

La Nuée (or The Swarm for the English title) is certainly not bad but it could have been better. I thought there were some different unexploited options that could have made this movie much better but overal it's worth a watch. The whole cast did a good job playing their characters, so no bad acting here. Like always I would watch this movie in its original language, French that is. Dubbed movies always lose from their authenticity, but that's only my opinion.

Suspension of disbelief - you can attach this to the summary line I wrote or see it as detached from that, as a thing of its own. One thing you have to do though: is really suspend your disbelief and detach yourself from the main character. I would argue that almost everyone will have and take issue with the decision(s) she is taking.

Having said that, since this is based in horror, what horror movie does not to a certain degree need you to really let go of things ... try not to overthink it, enjoy the cinematography and the insane development this takes ... it really "nurishes" on that - pun very much intended.
