It turns out that the groups has been using a special type of spray on the ants that’s caused them to mutate.
TRIVIA

THOUGHTS
I have to plead temporary insanity on this one. I was at Wal-Mart after spending two days straight with a couple of teenagers and the next thing I knew, we were sitting at my house and watching this movie. Apparently I blacked out in the middle of the store and bought it or at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
At one point, my fourteen year old cousin screamed that this reminded her of “the movie with the big bugs” that was apparently Starship Troopers. Don’t listen to that hype because The Hive is one big piece of steaming dog crap. It was so horrible, as in really horrible. The bugs look fake, the special effects look fake and the acting is incredibly wooden. The only real thrill we got out of our 90 minutes was making fun of the movie. Oh well, at least Tom Wopat was in it, any excuse for a Dukes of Hazard reference…
Me too! But just so you know, it didn’t remind me of that movie at ALL lol. I think she was just all about the cheesy special effects.
