Locusts with a taste for blood go on the attack in The Swarm trailer

The Swarm (no, not the 1978 film starring Michael Caine) is a new French film that sounds very much like a creature feature from the Fifties, but it seems to be played a little more serious.

Virginie lives on a farm with her children Laura (15) and Gaston (7) and raises locusts as a high-protein crop. Life is hard: money worries and practical problems are piling up, tensions with her kids and neighbors are running high. But everything changes when she discovers the locusts have a taste for blood.

Directed by Just Philippot, the film stars Suliane Brahim, Sofian Khammes, Marie Narbonne, Raphael Romand, Nathalie Boyer, Victor Bonnel, Vincent Deniard, and Christian Bouillette.

The Swarm will be hitting Netflix on 6th August 2021.
