in the new mexico desert, police find two crime scenes-a family on holiday and a local resident are both found dead. all their money is intact but the sugar bowls have been emptied. the sole survivor is a little girl, now catatonic. when released from this state she screams "THEM! THEM! THEM!
they take a cast of an unusual track and send it to the FBI
Soon an FBI agent appears and then a scientest with an almost english accent from the Depaartment of Agriculture with his beautiful daughter.
They have a theory but won't tell the cops until they find the truth
The atomic bombs tested in the forties have resulted in MUTANT GIANT ANTS.
ok, the giant ants look terrible, and there are enough cliches to justify a full on drinking game, but all in all i enjoyed this movie. just the thing for a wet afternoon.
it is briskly paced and manages to squeeze in some oddball characters-a pre davey crockett fess parker as a pilot and an alcoholic (make me a sargent, give me the booze)
unlike todays films, the ending isn't dragged out.
they don't make 'em like that anymore (or so i thought until i saw a bit of alien v predator on sky last night)
