The Swarm had come without warning. Engineered as a crop-defoliator, it escaped a biolab in Nebraska. Within seventy-two hours, the Great Plains were stripped. Within a week, the Midwest was a dust bowl. By the end of Series One—as survivors later called those first eight days—global agriculture had collapsed.
By dawn of Series Seven, the last of the Swarm lay dying in drifts like black snow. And Series Eight—the final collection of stories Mike Kraus chronicled—was not about the plague, but about the living.
The final battle was not fought with bullets. It was fought with aerosol canisters and wind direction. As the Swarm descended on the city—a living hurricane of chitin and hunger—Diana stood on the roof of Aurelius Tower and released the Judas cloud into the updraft.
She dreamed of seeds. If you'd like a version focused on a specific character, earlier event from the series, or a different tone (more action, more science, more horror), just let me know.

I’m actually looking forward to checking this one out. Serbian Film would have been better if not for all the hype surrounding the film. Salo ranks up there with this other film Sweet Movie as beautiful repulsing films I’ll never watch again.
I’m equally repulsed and intrigued by the concept of this film though.
