Phase IV

1h 24m Horror, Science Fiction, Thriller 1974

This eerie tale about super-intelligent ants marks the feature film directorial debut of noted designer Saul Bass (Psycho).

When desert ants spontaneously form a collective “hive mind” intelligence and begin to terrorise their fellow desert inhabitants, what does it mean for society as we know it? In short: a new future for life on earth, a new phase of evolution altogether… one without human beings.

A box office disappointment in its initial release, Phase IV is one of those underappreciated sci-fi gems that is only now being reappraised by modern audiences.
