MONARCH

TAKING THE WORLD BY SWARM

Heath and Katy are entomology grad students working on summer research projects in the Pacific Northwest. Their plans abruptly change, however, when their university receives a shocking phone call from a panicked stranger.

Murder hornets have once again been spotted in the area, but this time they are…different. Larger, smarter, and vicious beyond reckoning. Heath and Katy investigate the sighting, with consequences far more dire than either of them could know.

Surviving a vicious encounter, Heath is thrust into a world of monstrous alien bugs, where an unlikely ally is all that stands between Earth and an unstoppable insect invasion.

A thrilling homage to the classic monster movies of the 50s and 60s, MONARCH is a sci-fi creature feature with heart, humor, and hordes of horrifically huge hornets!
