It came from the desert (4 Stars)


This is the best teenagers-versus-giant-ants film that I've ever seen. I'm sure there will be more, but I doubt they'll live up to this quality. It's all played for fun, and that's the beauty of the film. The teenagers are keen to swap pop culture references when they have a few free seconds between fighting for their lives.


This cartoon picture is deceptive. The teenagers don't just flee. Some of them stand and fight.


Actress Vanessa Grasse isn't just a pretty face. Her character Lisa walks in and smashes a giant ant over the head with an axe while the boys are hiding under a table screaming. Don't worry, she motivates them into joining in the fight, because no teenage boy wants to be shown up by a girl.


Does this scene mean that "It came from the desert" qualifies as a Christmas film?

Can anyone explain to me why this film is available on Blu-ray in Germany, but it's only been released on DVD in England and America? Germany is up to date, but other countries are still living in the 1990's.
