Giant Ants — Them! (1954)

The effects of radiation saw those tiny nuisances at picnics mutate into huge people munchers in Them!, which marked the first giant-atomic-monster movie. Director Gordon Douglas didn’t show his gi-ants until about a third of the way into the film, unsettling audiences instead with superbly creepy stridulating sound effects.

FILM FUN FACT:

‘The viewer never sees more than three giant ants at any one time. That is all that were constructed.’ - IMDb

’The earliest atomic tests in New Mexico cause common ants to mutate into giant man-eating monsters that threaten civilization.’ -IMDb
