A group of military personal investigate the crash of an army plane on a remote island. They uncover an evil plot by lethal insects to bring about the end of the human race.
Director Kazui Nihonmatsu relates the intricate and absorbing story at a constant pace, grounds the fantastic premise in a believable everyday reality, and adroitly creates and maintains an extremely grim and uncompromising take-no-prisoners nihilistic tone. Susumu Takaku's harsh script makes a bleak point on how mankind's self-destructive nature will bring about his own ruination. This film further benefits from several interesting hateful characters: Kathy Horan as bitter and vengeful holocaust survivor Annabelle, Ralph Jesser as the ruthless Lt. Gordon, and Chico Roland as the unhinged Charlie. The surprise bummer ending packs a startling punch. A solid little Japanese sci-fi/horror movie.
