Phase IV

When Ants attack!

Plot: Following a solar occurrence, ants in the Arizona desert become aware and really rather smart. A scientist monitors their progress and upon confirmation of his hypothesis, he requests a research/experimentation laboratory be set up to observe and interact with the insects. He and his linguist, along with a stray female survivor of an earlier attack, seek to understand the ants behaviour and their desires. Initially prompting interaction by exploding the ant's monolithic structures and later bombarding them with sprays and audio waves.

What do ants what?!

Shot using intensely close images (documentary style), the ants are portrayed with thought and style, using a mixture of different colour species which lends a real ominous air to the story along with the narration.

A superb creature feature that would play well at drive-in theatres and small screens alike.

Budget: $?

Gross: $?

Fun Fact: The insect scenes were shot by Ken Middleham, who also shot scenes for The Hellstrom Chronicle.
