Similiar movies - can you ID?


Like many others, Ive been using torrents to rediscover movies that scared the bejesus out of me as a kid. Them! did not disappoint, but also reminded me of some other movies id like to see...

One scene - A guy on a rock. The sky is on fire. he is rescued by a sub. (???)

Some sort of monster terrozing New York. A close up of a girl screaming with a doll just before she is stomped.

Normal sized (regular)! Ants,millions of ém sucking someone into Sand pit.

Bugs getting together on a wall and spelling out ´We Live´!

The last one was in colour, possibly 80´s. the others were Them! era.

Any help...

Can't ID any of your movies but am trying to figure out the title of one I liked. It was on tcm a couple of years ago but I can't remember the name. It was aliens who turned people to ash. There was a family and the teen aged girls boyfriend. But that's all I can remember!! Help!

"Bugs getting together on a wall and spelling out ´We Live´!"

Well THAT one was 'Bug' with Bradford Dillman, derived from an odd novel called 'The Hefaestus(sp?) Plague'

The guy on a rock with the sky on fire? Could that be the 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' movie?

Not much to go on there, mate.

The first one certainly does sound like `Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea', the movie starring Walter Pidgeon.

The second's too vague for me. Are you sure it was New York? And what did the monster look like?

The third one with the normal-sized ants might be `The Naked Jungle' with Charlton Heston, or more likely `Phase IV'. The latter is a little-known, but clever and creepy sci-fi.

Number 4 definitely sounds like `Bugs' to me.

That's my best shot for now.

I think the little girl/NY/stomped film may have been "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms."

Phase IV? Normal sized (regular)! Ants,millions of ém sucking someone into Sand pit.
Or it was Ants with Suzanne Summers

"I'm getting the hell out of Stepford."

reply

PHASE 4 is the film with the small ants from about 1974, the monster with the girl screaming is the Colossus of new york 1958, guy on rock might be voyage to the bottom of the sea 1961
