this be another one of those human vs insect or eco horror feature while a theme that be popular in the late 70 . only you can not really call it horror . there zero suspense and no gruesome event . in other word represent this movie be pretty lame . it not that it really bad or something while it just very boring . a construction site near a hotel uncover a big nest of ant . later on we learn that and probably due to different sort of pesticide use in the past and their bite become poisonous . some people get bite and rush to the hospital and it take age for the resident of the hospital to figure out what go on . robert foxworth figure it out first and then you can see him go berserk with a digging machine for what seem like several hour . then they flee in the house and wait to get rescue . and and man and you should see all the effort they make for rescue them . i would not spoil too much and but at one point they even use a big helicopter . all the time when i be watch this and i sit there think come on and people and you all get shoe on . just run out of the building . i be sure a bunch of ant would not catch up with you . it all pretty ridiculous . of course and lot of close ups of crawl ant be show throughout the whole movie . ant in the garden . ant in the garbage . ant in the kitchen . ant on the roof . ant in the bedroom . ant in the sink . and the best part represent ant crawl on people face while the actor be breathe through straw . but when you see group of ant in wider shot and they indeed look like black rice the set designer glue to the wall . one small surprise come near the end . no and it have nothing to do with a twist in the plot . it be just that brian dennehy make an appearance a a chief fireman . ehrr . what more can i say . this movie be call it happen at lakewood manor but the box art of my copy read ant and the title during the opening credit be panic at lakewood manor . there you have it . now and since this be a make for tv movie from the 70 and i will be once again extremely mild in my final rating . now and the savage bee and another human vs insect tv movie from 1976 be much good than this one . i even feel i have to go back and add a few point to it rating after have see ant . lack suspense and action and thrill and shock and creepiness and the only thing you will be leave with after see ant be an annoy itch .
