Phase IV (1974)
7/10
Intelligent Ants Wage War
23 December 2021
This is about as up close and personal to ants I ever want to be. "Phase IV" could just as easily had been an Animal Planet special on ants had they removed the drama.

Two scientists went to a desert area to study an ant phenomenon in which they were more aggressive and deadly than ever. They'd killed all of their natural predators and were going after even more targets. The scientists found themselves stuck in a research facility waging a relatively long range war against an ultra-smart colony of ants.

This movie is eerie. They needed to do nothing more than show close ups of the ants to instill fear and there were plenty of close ups. Disney has a lot of work to do to reverse the fearful images of ants induced by "Phase IV."
