Critics' reviews

"There's nothing at all original about 'Locusts', from its rather too symbolic title to its all-too-contrived plot. But director Davis (...) has crafted an uncommonly stylistic example of its genre"

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"It is, in short, very much a B-movie and, on this level, it’s watchable though never especially inspired.(...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Jake Wilson: Sydney Morning Herald
"Inventively shot and highly entertaining (...) [It] is the kind of film that we don’t see nearly enough of in Australia"
