Phase IV

Phase IV – 1974 – United States

I’ve been meaning to watch this movie for 20 years. I knew it would be interesting, but I underestimated how interesting. After getting zapped with space radiation, a colony of ants become sapient. Two scientists build a geodesic dome laboratory in the middle of the ants’ turf. Their goal is to study the ants, but one scientist becomes obsessed with destroying them, and the other becomes obsessed with communicating with them. The scientists squabble while fending off the increasingly hostile and intelligent ants.
