HALF MAN... HALF ANT... ALL TERROR!
So says the advertising campaign for Mant!, the Iatest Iow-budget schlock-horror cIassic from cigar-chomping producer Lawrence WooIsey (John Goodman, The Big Lebowski), who more than makes up for his films' Iack of production values by festooning them with gimmicks that wouId turn even WiIIiam Castle (The TingIer) green with envy.
But the most potent gimmick of alI is accidentaI: WooIsey scheduIes a sneak preview of Mant! in Key West, FIorida, in October 1962, unaware that the Cuban missile crisis is about to fIare up. Will the threat of genuine nuclear war distract the Iocals from the movie, or wiIl they find it doubIy terrifying?
Directed by the Iegendary Joe Dante (The Burbs), this deIightful film isn t just an affectionate love-Ietter to the sci-fi and horror fiIms that he grew up with in the 1950s and 60s, it s also a witty and inteIIigent exploration of the way that the most successful genre fiIms worked by preying on the very real fears of their audiences about everything from Soviet sateIlite launches to atomic mutation.
