Horror Vault's take

When a massive swarm of lethal African bees descends on Texas, a civilian scientist and a hard-nosed military general find themselves at odds over how to stop a threat neither fully understands. Disaster maestro Irwin Allen marshals an all-star cast across a series of escalating catastrophes — from small-town terror to large-scale mayhem — as the swarm proves almost impossible to contain. Practical effects set pieces, including a memorable train disaster, give the film a visceral edge that lingers long after the credits roll. Part creature feature, part disaster epic, it's a pulpy, star-studded slice of late-'70s Hollywood spectacle.
