Review of Swarmed (2005) by Geigerpeace C — 21 Dec 2009
Scientists invent a pesticide that genetically alters wasps and makes them vexed. Unfortunately dumb scientist Michael Shanks locks up the wasps in what looks like a coffee machine. A cleaner accidentally lets the wasps free and the deaths begin. Meanwhile the dumb scientist has given a dumb bug-exterminator permission to borrow some of his pesticide. 'Don't use the stuff in the red bottle!' he tells him. No prizes for guessing what happens next.
Meanwhile a greedy cowboy burger-sauce manufacturer has arranged a burger cook-off in the burger-savvy town of Dundas. Everyone knows that wasps will go crazy for a bit of raw meat (well, apparently. I always thought they were just fond of marmalade, but there you are) and the enraged swarm of CGI stingers heads for the barbecue.
The dumb scientist, an entymologist and the dumb bug-hunter join forces to save the town from wasp-related doom.
Very satisfyingly, the unpleasant and financially corrupt characters do get stung to death, which gave me a warm glow in a nice place.
It's utter nonsense, but I loved it. Bring on Swarmed II.
