THE SWARM is a horror thriller, from 1978, in which a swarm of killer bees terrorises Texas.

threat and horror
Sequences of panic and destruction occur as a result of killer bee attacks. Vehicles crash and explode, people run in terror, and soldiers attempt to battle the bees with flamethrowers and explosives. In one scene, children throw improvised explosives at the bees. There are also scenes of horror in which people writhe around as they are stung by bees, a child watches his parents die in an attack, and people hallucinate giant bees hovering above them.
language
There is use of moderate bad language ('son of a bitch') and milder terms including 'ass', 'God', 'damn', and 'hell'.
additional issues
There are references to suicide, upsetting scenes in which people die and others grieve, and infrequent sex references.
