Irwin Allen, king of the disaster movie, gives us another all star cast facing terror and a potentially insurmountable situation. Yes sir, it's The Swarm! Killer bees descend on a town in the midst of their annual flower festival and attack a military base. Michael Caine, noted entomologist, believes he has the answer to defeating the bee menace. The military disagrees and thus we have in fighting which keeps the bee menace safe another day.
The movie seems really long. I'm not sure if it is really two hours or just felt like it. While there are many silly plot points in this film, the one I found the silliest was the doctor who tests the serum to reverse the effects of bee stings on himself.
He injects himself with bee venom. Then waits as long as it would take the other victims before they could get injected with the serum. This leaves him unable to grasp the needle and shortly thereafter all hopes for a vaccine die with him. Idiot! If you insist on doing this asinine test, at least have someone there to administer the shot so you have a chance of survival.
