The Swarm (1978)
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately for Irwin Allen, he’s credited with destroying the disaster movie genre that was so popular in the 1970s. With The Swarm and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure, audiences weren’t drawn in by the all-star, everyone’s-in-danger premise anymore. In this one, Michael Caine, Henry Fonda, Richard Widmark, Olivia de Havilland, Lee Grant, Richard Chamberlain, Cameron Mitchell, Katherine Ross, Ben Johnson, José Ferrer, Patty Duke, Slim Pickens, Alejandro Rey, Bradford Dillman, and Fred MacMurray in his last film appearance, all signed on to act out the painfully awful script. If you’re in the mood to laugh, you won’t be able to stop yourself during the two hours.
There’s very little anyone can do with such terrible lines, but the delivery really couldn’t be any worse than this all-star cast gave. I couldn’t believe my ears when all these top tier actors and actresses read their lines even worse than if they’d been acting in a spoof of the disaster genre. Unless you really love awful movies, just skip this one. I was sucked in to support the old timers like Fred and Olivia, but it was just painful to watch.
DLM Warning: Sometimes the camera shows a scene from the bee's perspective, and the kaleidoscope effect will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"
