Maklerin Marilyn hält nichts von Naturschutz. Für den Bau eines Ferienparadieses will sie einen Sumpf trockenlegen. Auf einer Schifffahrt versucht sie, mögliche Kunden von dem Projekt zu überzeugen. Was sie nicht weiß: Andere Umweltsünder haben im Sumpf radioaktiven Müll abgeladen, der Ameisen in blutrünstige Rieseninsekten verwandelt. (TELE 5)

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.
