Terror at Lakewood Manor (aka: Ants!)
A wonderfully cheesy 1970's TV movie about... well, ants. One of the most laughable, yet strangely watchable, eco-horror films from that decade. Ants, seeming angered by having their nest dug up by construction workers at a California resort, decide to strike back.
Reasons for riffing this one:
1). Lets start with the cast: Robert Foxworth, Brian Denehey, Myrna Loy, Linda Day George, Suzanne Summers... the list just continues.
2). This seems to be a film a lot more concerned with construction and moving big pieces of machinery around than it is with ants.
3). Wonderful riffing opportunities during the "ant attacks," which are pure cheese... especially considering that no one notices the thousands of tiny ants slowly...oh, so slowly, marching towards them until it is too late.
Here is a bizarre tv spot plugging the film:
