Just one review, after three days gone, but Savant has an excuse, honest. Just got out of town to Arizona for a couple of days ... 120o heat, you know the drill. After seeing tonight's review film the night before, I imagined 12-foot creepy crawlies roaming around every Joshua tree and behind every rock.

Warner's new DVD of is a stunner, a new transfer that gives the picture more punch than ever before. It's a superior monster thriller, a kind of film noir / insect fear combo that set a standard for big bug movies not topped until Aliens thirty years later. The disc has a terrific extra too, outtakes of the monster ant props in action.

More editing is on the horizon (about time too) , but there's plenty of excitement to review. Thanks for hanging in there! Glenn Erickson
