Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Pamela Susan Shoop, the film's sound man had a fight with director Bert I. Gordon towards the end of the shoot and threw all of its audio tapes into the swamp. They lost everything, so the entire film had to be looped. Because of this, their voices and actions never quite mesh.
- GoofsBefore the captain jumps into the ocean to try and save the boat, he takes off his shoes. After he burns the boat, he jumps into the water and you can clearly see his shoes.

Coreen Bradford: Oh my God! They're herding us like cattle!
- Alternate versionsThe original UK theatrical version of this film was heavily cut to both receive an "A" (PG) certificate and reduce scenes of screaming and violence, including attacks and bloodied bodies. These cuts were restored to it for the 2002 ILC release and the certificate was upgraded to a "15".

Featured review
MST3K Bait
Has MST3K done this film yet? They should. Joan Collins in her autobiography "Past Imperfect" stated that this was her worst acting experience. Watching this one can see why. Giant ants infest an island and would be real estate investors are their fodder. There is another part of the story about the ants controlling the local towns inhabitants but it doesn't salvage the picture. The best line comes from the old couple. "We just come on these things for the free food and booze" I kept waiting for Burt Lancaster's Dr. Moreau to come out of the jungle and say to the ants "WHAT IS THE LAW"?
