    Could have been better but worth a watch.

    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.

    Not Swarmy enough.

    I mean its fine , look.... the 70's and 80's of this type of movies were far more engaging , and locusts are not that aggressive and smart to begin with. The Plot ? Dont ask , its weak,, and so i give this movie a 6 cause this film feels it was rushed.

    Good acting, bad script

    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.

    Creepy, Buggy Fun! ;D

    Well acted, bug theme horror movie. Will make your skin crawl. People always screwing around with nature and nature doesn't take too kindly to these upsets. Humans are so greedy for more, bigger, better, faster and don't care what the damage and sacrifice is to ALL Around them. Worth a watch for sure!

    It Was A Decent Movie But Far From Any 8-10 Star Movie

    08/06/2021 Far from anything closely resembling a scary horror or intense thriller movie. It's just average movie with decent actors, realistic rural settings that fits with the storyline but it couldn't scare a little kid or a wimpy adult. It's just a mediocre one time only watch kind of movie.
