bert gordon follow up to his food of the god from the previous year begin with a real estate scam head by bitchy joan collins in a remote area . collins use this character template for her much more famous role a the queen bitch on the dynasty tv series in the 80 . i believe she be also in a movie title the bitch a year or two after this . in a strange turn of event and just a some of her conned victim become aware of her scam and the cast be attack by giant ant . it a lesson to all con artists out there one way or another you will get your comeuppance and if not at the hand of angry customer and then angry giant ant . ironically and and i use the term loosely and the ant derail a potentially interesting plot while i be wait to see collins get tar and feather by her victim . instead and we get the pursue and destroy fleeing human through wilderness plot and a more tedious 2nd act than i would have think . unfortunately and this picture must fall inferior to the ultimate giant ant movie and them and from way back in 1954 and and which may have have well special fx . the big surprise be gordon adherence to much of the original story by h. g. well and a the audience find out in the 3rd act . also surprising be see robert lansing and who easily give the best performance hey and ya get ta put the kid through college somehow and right . then albert salmi pop up a a distracted sheriff or police captain . for more ant with attitude and see phase iv ( 74 ) and the tv movie ant .
