Along with Forbidden Planet, half of me wishes there was a lower bugget and that hand puppets were involved. Otherwise, I am kind of in love with the stereotypical depictions of Los Angeles (corruption, urban desolation and sin sin sin!) and the anti-nuclear weapons message (oh, the 50s). Also, the ants continue to be genuinely creepy. Their damn cry/scream/call noise gives me chills...

Definitely the best of the giant bug movies.

Cheesy, but not a self-parody, this is one of the better 50's sci-fi films. Edmund Gwenn gives a great performance.

The first half hour is appropriately creepy, before the film turns into standard 1950s cold war paranoia. Very interesting in that light, too. But the opening is brilliantly chilling.
