Overview
A Florida real estate developer and her captain lure investors to a property in the Everglades called Dreamland Shores, under false pretenses that the swampland will soon be developed. After the group arrives on a small island, they find it has been overrun by giant mutated ants, brought on by the dumping of toxic waste in the area.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedDirected by Bert I. Gordon, this 1977 horror science-fiction feature pits a group of prospective land buyers, lured to a remote Everglades development under false pretenses, against giant mutant ants spawned by toxic waste. A product of the era's nature-run-amok craze, it leans on creature-feature thrills, ecological anxiety, and pulpy menace. The tone is campy and earnest in equal measure, more about survival shocks than realism. With a MagicMovieScore of 4.9, it is best suited to fans of vintage B-movies, oversized-monster mayhem, and nostalgic genre fare that turns environmental fears into lurid drive-in spectacle.
