The premise

A widow, Deputy Sheriff Jane Kozik, moves from Manhattan to Black Stone, New York, with her daughter Kelsey. There she expects to find a safe place to live. The day after moving, a homeless man is found dead in the tool shed of Jane's blind friend Beverly; an entomologist, Katherine is summoned to help with the investigation, along with Devin, Jane's brother-in-law and former boyfriend. Meanwhile, Kelsey befriends Eli, a scientist who has developed genetically modified wasps to the army as a weapon, and who is now trying to revert the process. When the wasps attack Black Stone, Jane, Devin and Eli team-up to attempt to destroy the swarm.

Horror Vault's take

Seeking a quieter life, newly widowed deputy sheriff Jane Kozik relocates her daughter to the sleepy upstate New York town of Black Stone — only to find that something far deadlier than small-town boredom awaits them. When a suspicious death triggers a gruesome investigation, the truth behind a rogue scientist's top-secret military experiment begins to buzz to the surface. Genetically engineered wasps, designed as living weapons, are unleashed on the unsuspecting community, and Jane must forge an uneasy alliance to stop the swarm before the whole town becomes a casualty. Part creature-feature, part survival thriller, Black Swarm delivers squirm-inducing bug mayhem with a B-movie sensibility.
