The Swarm

1978

Look, I’m not a smart man. I mean, clearly I am not; I have chosen to rewatch The Swarm a second time despite the fact that it is surely one of the dumbest movies Hollywood produced in the 1970s.

But even I, a noted dummy, would think twice before putting The Swarm out on home video in its 155-minute cut (which was created for its initial laserdisc release), when there’s also the 116-minute theatrical cut. Why would you force people to watch the 2 hour 35 minute version of the movie where Michael Caine fights killer bees?!?!? It makes no sense.

At least it’s never not funny when someone hallucinates that a giant bee is attacking them.
