The premise
A single mother breeds locusts as high-protein foods but has trouble getting them to reproduce until she finds they have a taste for blood.
Horror Vault's take
A struggling single mother in rural France turns to locust farming as an unconventional path to financial stability, only to stumble upon a deeply disturbing secret about what drives her swarm to thrive. What begins as a gritty survival story quietly mutates into something far darker, as her obsession with the insects starts to consume her family life and her sanity. French director Just Philippot crafts a slow-burning creature feature that burrows under your skin long before the horror fully surfaces.
