Genocide (1968)

Shochiku
Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Criterion Eclipse)

American pilots crash land their bomber on a Japanese island after encountering a swarm of insects. They later turn up dead or insane from insect bites, and their H-bomb is missing. A local man is accused of murdering them. His young wife enlists a friendly insect professor to help prove his innocence. Meanwhile, a crazy American girl rants about humanity and experiments on the insects, turning them into mass killers. Some stupid, arrogant American military types search for the H-bomb. It contains at least two unnecessary scenes of animal cruelty, including the beating and killing of a Collie, shaving a little off my rating.
