Causing terror across New Mexico, the giant ants, created by a radiation leak, of course, the giant ants terrified a generation of movie goers in the movie Them! One of the first big monsters of the nuclear age, the ants infest the sewers of Los Angeles and threaten to swarm across the USA. Luckily some nifty flamethrower action takes care of Them! But, as Dr Metford helpfully reminds viewers at the movies close: When Man entered the Atomic Age, he opened the door to a new world. What we may eventually find in that new world, nobody can predict. Can he possibly have predicted that even worse monsters are on their way to a movie screen near you?
