On a typical sunny summer day in Coleman, Florida, a swarm of abnormally large insects ascends from the ground and begins wreaking bloody havoc on anything in its path. A ragtag group of survivors, including a no-nonsense sheriff, a plucky hairdresser, and a hapless housewife, find themselves pitted against not just an army of monstrous insects, but also an escaped killer whose self-proclaimed God given mission spells disaster for any woman who crosses his trail. Deliciously pulpy and deliriously paced, "Chirping" is a B-movie in prose and an ode to bloody good fun.
