Synopsis: That ol’ cinematic devil the A-bomb has spawned a colony of giant murderous ants bent on destroying humanity.

Opinion:

I was about 9 years old when I saw this movie and it gave me some pretty good nightmares. Starring James Whitmore, Edmund Green, a young James Arness, and some pretty scary ants.

From the first scene where it shows a barren dessert and two cops in a patrol car being told to be on the lookout for a child wandering the dessert. To them finding this wide eyed, expressionless little girl wandering aimlessly in her night clothes,it grabs your interest.

Read the rest of my review after the jump.

As the story unfolds and scenes of a destroyed travel trailer, a busted up grocery store, weird foot prints of some unexplained creature, to the unnerving sound of the yet unseen predator are heard you sit there waiting, waiting to see what is coming up over the hill ,and there it is! The biggest,ugliest, nastiest giant ant that all that A-bomb testing in the New Mexico desert can produce. These bugs are huge, mean, very hungry and have a wicked sweet tooth.

They take no prisoners,and not even little children are safe from these bugs.The climax takes place in some tunnels where there are 2 trapped children,some brave policemen, a courageous FBI agent and some heroic army guys.Will the good guys win? Will the kids get to go home to mom?Or will the ants get the upperhand and take over the world? If you haven’t seen this gem of a movie, I don’t want to spoil the ending; you will have to rent it and see for your self. And remember, the next time you go to step on a ant hill, stop and think - do you really want to tick off these little fellows so they will run off to tell their very much larger brethern?
