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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A B-movie creature feature where the real horror is not just giant ants, but being stranded with people motivated by greed and deception in an ecosystem turned hostile by human carelessness. It's a pulpy, uneasily fun 70s sci-fi romp where the swamp itself feels complicit.
