The Swarm

In a bit of a shift from your usual disaster movie fare, this one has Michael Caine and Katherine Ross battling a lot of very angry insects. African killer bees attack a town in Texas, a precursor to a bee invasion of the entire United States (and, as in most disaster movies, the world). Roundly viewed as the worst film Michael Caine ever made – and that’s saying a lot – The Swarm takes a stupid premise and executes it even more stupidly, but with surprising sincerity. The most that can be said is that there’s a very good cast stuck at the bottom of this hive.
