🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A 1970s TV horror that skillfully exploits fear of an invisible threat. Director Bruce Geller builds tension through the sound of the buzzing swarm and scenes of mass panic, overcoming budgetary constraints with effective pacing.

What lingers after viewing is the potent image of a natural disaster unfolding against garish celebration. The film remains a curious time capsule of ecological anxiety — MovieFinder Editorial
