Der Schwarm der Schrecken

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!

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.

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.

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.

It's decent. It's unexpected but pleasantly predictable at times. I'm watching it in English though I'm pretty sure it's French so that takes away from the production but that's not the writer/director/actors fault. Recommended 👍🏽
