Una agresiva empresaria del ramo inmobiliario que planea drenar una zona pantanosa para levantar un exclusivo centro residencial, se translada con sus potenciales clientes a dicha zona, con el objeto de cerrar el negocio. Habiendo alquilado el yate de un capitán de agua dulce, recorre el lugar con sus invitados. Pero se enteran que un desastre radioactivo ha traído aparejada la mutación de las hormigas, que en breve lapso, ahora alcanzan el tamaño de un ser humano y han evolucionado hasta dominar telepáticamente un pueblo cercano.

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 was really bad, and I think that despite enjoying B movies. The special effects are so unbelievably naive that they could really be done on a shoestring budget. Even the tight pants and sweaters don't save it much, just like the effort to keep the female heroines as soaked as possible. This is a truly terrible movie. However, there are elements for which it does not deserve a Boo! rating.
