REVIEW - IT CAME FROM THE DESERT
In 1951 a science fiction film came out with the same title which told the story of how radiation made ants grow to a huge size, this b movie became an instant classic even though it was filmed in black and white, this sequel however..........
Imagine if you can Bill and Ted discovering these giant ants (dude) and chugging beer, yes very annoying especially as I couldn't honestly decide if this film was actually meant to be serious, a comedy or just a very feeble excuse to get someone on screen.
If you want to watch a film called it came from the desert then watch original and avoid this as you would a huge ant, otherwise drink lots and lots of beer and try to enjoy this silly homage to what was a true b movie classic.
