Phase IV
The day the Earth was turned into a cemetery!
Directed by Saul Bass
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Alced Productions
A visually hypnotic sci-fi horror about ants achieving collective intelligence and turning the tables on humanity, built on paranoia and cosmic dread rather than conventional scares.
Arizona ants mock the food chain on their way to a desert lab to get two scientists and a woman.
