It Came from the Desert

REVIEW - IT CAME FROM THE DESERT

In 1951 a science fiction film came out with the same title which told the story of how radiation made ants grow to a huge size, this b movie became an instant classic even though it was filmed in black and white, this sequel however..........

Imagine if you can Bill and Ted discovering these giant ants (dude) and chugging beer, yes very annoying especially as I couldn't honestly decide if this film was actually meant to be serious, a comedy or just a very feeble excuse to get someone on screen.

If you want to watch a film called it came from the desert then watch original and avoid this as you would a huge ant, otherwise drink lots and lots of beer and try to enjoy this silly homage to what was a true b movie classic.

Rating 4 out of 10

Although this one is better than a lot of garbage coming from mainstream Hollywood producers, it shouldn't be rated against those big budget products.

Meant to be fun entertainment - cheesy lines, gory, reference to the old classics (Them!), intentional over the top acting. Only an idiot can't see that this flick doesn't take itself seriously.

Definitely worth a view.

Dumb guys (even if they they are academically smart) uncover a corporate scientific laboratory that is developing giant ants. Motocross, beer, and idiots prevail. Saturday night special sci-fi movie. Nothing special, and bordering on the annoying, but still a B-movie special.

Saw this on a pirated dvd. The trailer was enticing n the synopsis n settings more like Eight legged freaks. The opening sequence was more like Starship Troopers, where two military men r firing at giant ants. Cut back n v see some beautiful villas in the desert town n even more better is the amazing dirt bike racing scenes reminiscent of the new Point Break film. Hordes of deadly giant ants attack a group of youngsters partying in the middle of nowhere. The effects of the giant ants were cool n the bike action sequences were really cool, particularly during one chase sequence with the giant ants in pursuit. Remember its a very low budget film n it managed to entertain very well. Also noteworthy is the cinematography. What more could you ask from a monster movie?

This was really entertaining and we were pleasantly surprised. Some cheesy special effects, but all around good fun. Reminded me of 8 Legged Freaks
