There are a few other films with this name but I have not seen any of the so if they are remakes or other stories,I have NO idea.
The first atomic generated giant insect movie I ever saw and one of the many from the 50's They were message films about the perils of atomic energy.This was by far the best and scariest especially a scene when a little girl survivor of an attack ,in shock, is snapped out of it by the "sound "of the danger of approaching giant ants.Good stuff.The ants themselves were ok for that time,but that almost cricket like sound was something else.I took 1 star off again for black and white filming and being a little dated but still its better than most made then or for that matter since.Add to it the acting led by the wonderful James Whitmore as Police Sgt. Ben Peterson and again future MEGA TV Star James Arness as Robert Graham and a not well known but great and beautiful actress,Joan Weldon as Dr. Patricia 'Pat' Medford and good supporting actors,its a easy film to get into.Released in 1954 it runs only 94 minutes.Trailer URL follows the pix.
