Plot Summary

In The Insect (2025), something ancient and horrifying has awakened in the dense rainforests of the Amazon. When a research team led by brilliant entomologist Dr. Emma Wade uncovers a previously undocumented species of insect, they are amazed by its size, intelligence—and its violent behavior.

But what starts as a groundbreaking discovery soon spirals into a biological nightmare. The species begins to reproduce at an exponential rate, spreading beyond the jungle into the surrounding villages—and evolving. These insects aren’t just killing—they’re hunting, adapting, and learning. As the world faces a rapidly escalating threat, a covert task force teams up with Emma to track and destroy the hive… before it spreads globally.

The race against nature’s most terrifying predator has begun—and humanity may no longer be at the top of the food chain.
