Dead Ant
Directed by Ron Carlson
Produced by August Heart Entertainment
A campy, high-energy creature-feature comedy that mines 1980s glam-metal nostalgia and absurdist humor from the collision of a washed-up rock band, psychedelic drugs, and giant killer ants.
When the 1989 "one-hit-wonder" glam-metal band "Sonic Grave" embark on a trip to Coachella in hopes of a comeback, their peyote trip pit stop in Joshua Tree incites an "unworldly" vicious attack, and they must "rock" themselves out of harms way.
