Interessenten für Grundstücke im Ferienzentrum Dreamland Coast in Florida werden per Schiff dorthin gebracht. Dort gibt es aber durch Atomabfall zu Riesenmonstern mutierte Ameisen, die die Menschen angreifen. Einigen gelingt jedoch die Flucht vor dem Angriff und sie können sich in eine Kleinstadt retten. Die dortigen Anwohner sind allerdings sehr merkwürdig… (Verleiher-Text)

One of the typical creatures of B-movie devil Bert I. Gordon. Giant ants, mutated by radioactive waste (ahem), subjugate nearby residents with the help of enslaved police officers by herding them into a nearby factory, where a mother ant breathes on them in a sealed cabin and uses her breath to make them obedient puppets (ahem, ahem). The effects are commensurate with its low budget (but better than in Gordon's legendary The Food of the Gods), the camera is shaky during the ant attack to give the impression of moving static ant mannequins, the "acting" led by Joan "Mrs. Dynasty" Collins is appropriately cringey, and overall nothing worth commenting on. So, why do I bother writing this?

This is really bad, and I think I like B-movies. These tricks are so unbelievably naive that it was actually possible to do them on your knees. Even tight pants and sweaters won't save it, just like the effort to keep the female heroes as soaked as possible. This is really a terrible movie. But there are elements for which it is not a complete waste.
