Ants, ants, everywhere! They’re huge! How in the hell can we live in a world where we’re constantly worried about the threat of nuclear war and there’s giant insects bound and determined to make us their picnic lunch? It’s a hard-knock life for the residents of a small Southwestern town when the radiation from bomb tests turns the ant population into rampaging super-beasties, causing everyone to scream and run about as egghead scientists try to figure out how to solve the problem whilst musing on the morality of those bomb tests that started the whole mess in the first place. Them! is a scrappy, spirited, innovative monster pic from 1954, beautifully shot in black and white and bursting with cheesy dialogue, over-the-top acting and neat-o special effects. Enjoy, ’cause they sure don’t make ’em like this anymore.
