Synopsis
Scientist Dr. Bradford Crane and army general Thalius Slater join forces to fight an almost invisible enemy threatening America; killer bees that have deadly venom and attack without reason. Disaster movie-master Irwin Allen's film contains spectacular special effects, including a train crash caused by the eponymous swarm.

Recommandations
- 60
Empire
Hammy action yarn with an entertaining performance from Michael Caine. - 60
Washington Post
On the plus side, Allen's basic movie-making skills are sound. The $13-million film looks crisp and clean. An idiot could follow the story line and two hours could go by without many glimpses at the wristwatch. In short, the perfect made-for-TV movie. [15 Jul 1978, p.E1] - 30
Variety
Killer bees periodically interrupt the arch writing, stilted direction and ludicrous acting in Irwin Allen's disappointing and tired non-thriller. - 30
The New York Times
Mr. Allen might just as well have devoted his talents to man-eating goldfish, poodles on the rampage or carniverous canaries. - 25
TV Guide Magazine
A poorly made and utterly laughable film that has gained a minor cult status with "bad film" fans. - 20
Time Out
A risibly inadequate disaster movie.
