  This movie is full of stars, but thin on plot. What is interesting about it, though, is that it is a combination of a disaster movie and one of the batch of 70s movies that emulated the style of the 50s sci-fi/horror movies. Although the mixing of the two genres is interesting, the characters and story aren't as interesting and it doesn't end well.

  Dr. Krim: They're more virulent than the Australian Brown-Box Jellyfish!  "It's more than speculation- it's a prediction!" There are so many of these shitty B-Disaster/Animals Gone Wild films. The Swarm populates a genre that hasn't seen too many successes. What the genre does do is make me laugh... most of the time. The Swarm didn't. It actually seemed to be taking itself somewhat seriously, which is a big fucking no-no when it comes to B-Movies.  I'll admit that the only real reason I turned this movie on in the first place is that Michael Caine and Katherine Ross are in it. They don't really help the movie go down any smoother though. Seeing as they still have to act in a movie as absurd as this, you know their performances aren't going to be good. And they aren't. They are as bad as I've seen them.  While their the only reason I turned it on, there are many reasons I turned it off half way through. First, the movie is 2 hours and 35 minutes. At the hour mark, I said to myself, "Am I really going to sit through another hour and a half of this shit?" Answer: "Fuck no!"

  Just awful movie with inept "special" effects and a host of usually fine actors giving atrocious performances. Katharine Ross in particular is terrible, beyond wooden to postiively inert but Caine is hardly better. The only one who is seemingly trying to earn his paycheck is… More
  Just awful movie with inept "special" effects and a host of usually fine actors giving atrocious performances. Katharine Ross in particular is terrible, beyond wooden to postiively inert but Caine is hardly better. The only one who is seemingly trying to earn his paycheck is Richard Widmark who gives his all while surrounded by bored costars. Although who can blame them with a script that stinks like year old cheese. Let's hope they were well paid. Do yourself a favor and don't watch. If you have to see a bee disaster movie seek out "Killer Bees" a TV movie with Gloria Swanson and Kate Jackson which at least is entertaining.

  The commercial success of the likes of The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure inspired a slew of increasingly absurd disaster movies, and this is one of the most ridiculous. One of those films that's so bad it's funny.

  A long mild horror film of the killer bees and great appearances of famous Hollywood stars.

  This really is a bad movie

  Frightened the life out of ma as a kid. Bit dated now though.
