The Swarm

Widowed mom, Virginie (Suliane Brahim), has converted the family farm into a small, labour-intensive breeding facility for edible locusts, a crunchy source of protein that can be ground into flour. It will help the planet and, ideally, sustain this three-person family unit. But, like farmers most everywhere, she can’t get a fair price for her wares, which means she won’t turn a profit, let alone afford the insects’ customary diet. When she accidentally discovers the locusts thrive to be bigger, peppier and mutating on human blood, the horror element is driven by locusts who crave green grass and blood. When you bend the laws of nature, you have to face the repercussions of the actions.
