War of the Insects

Genocide

A hydrogen bomb is lost on an Island south of Japan after the bomber carrying it flies into a huge swarm of insects and crashes. Three crew members eject, but two of them are later found dead of strange wounds while the other is found to be in a coma. A local man named George is blamed for the deaths and quickly taken into custody - scientist Nagumo travels from mainland Japan to try and help prove his innocence. Military men from the United States appear and hinder Nagumo's efforts in their ruthless search to find their lost H-bomb. But there are communist agents working on the island who want the bomb as well - soon both they and the American's are vying for possession of the weapon. Meanwhile, a lone female scientist and survivor of Nazi concentration camps, convinced that man's destructive tendencies must be put to an immediate and permanent end, plots the destruction of all mankind through the release of swarms of new and deadly insect species. In the end, the bomb is detonated and the island is destroyed along with all who know about the deadly insects, which escape into the skies. (IMDB)

aka

House of Sayuri

After years of savings and sacrifice, the Kamikis, a tight-knit family of seven, are elated when their dream of owning a home in the countryside finally comes true. Sure, the house is a bit old and creaky, but nothing could possibly ruin this fresh start for them... Except for the vengeful ghost of a murdered girl, of course, and it doesn't take long until fleeting shadows and eerie voices start disrupting their haven of peace. So, when things turn violent and inexplicable accidents befall his parents and siblings, eldest son Norio is shocked to see his sweet, dementia-ridden grandmother suddenly step up as the family's protector. Refusing to let any kind of evil spirit bully them out of their house, she's come up with a master plan, and needs Norio's help to uncover the truth about poor little Sayuri's untimely death. (IMDB)
