Leave your thoughts about It Came from the Desert.
| StarburstJohn HigginsThe fun is always watching seemingly courageous youths fall apart when faced with adversity like this in classic form. |
| Caution SpoilersSarah CartlandThe acting is ropy at times, but as B movies go this is a corker: knowing but not overwhelmingly meta, witty, with schlocky horror tropes tripping over each other. All that's missing is a canister of toxic waste and a Kevin Bacon cameo. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesCamp, cheesy and oddly charming, It Came From the Desert is a rare modern b-movie that is an absolute viewing pleasure. |
| StarburstJ.R. SouthallThis isn't especially 'good', and by setting its sights no higher than to pastiche the films it's aping (as much Aliens as Them!) it falls short of being in any way meaningful. |
| User ReviewRobert SI was really hoping for it to keep to the storyline of the game but that was too much to hope for but in the end, it wasn't bad for a B movie. |
| User ReviewFrédéric H"It Came from the desert" is based on Cinemaware's 1989 game. The story takes place in the desert of course where giant mutated ants escape from the 50's facility and start killing people. This B movie is a cheesy horror/comedy with poor acting and a very different story from the game. Fans will love it other people might not. |
