When I was a kid in 1976-1980 in Germany, Armed Forces TV always played a 1960's-70's film where a guy is laying in bed. Someone on the floor above drills a hole in ceiling, drips some goo over him, then he gets killed by insects, possibly grasshoppers.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Sounds almost exactly like the locust killing in THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, except the victim was female. If that's not it it you saw a ripoff of that scene.

It wasn't a female, but definitely a ripoff. And there was a spy vibe happening. Thanks, I'll call it solved.
