'The Swarm' is a rather disturbing tale about a single mother who develops a strange obsession with the locusts she has begun breeding to prevent her farm from going bankrupt. But she soon starts to go to extreme lengths to feed these blood-sucking creatures. 

If you're a fan of French content, then perhaps series such as 'Mortel' and 'Lupin'should also appeal.
