Jim discovers a rare South American ant in the area. They have started spreading and devouring anything they come in contact with. Jim teams up with local school teacher Laura Sills (Campbell) to track down the queen in hopes of stopping the spread before they become unstoppable.

Verdict on Marabunta

Marabunta is a creature feature horror following a small Alaskan town dealing with a South American killer ant infestation. Luckily, an expert happens to be vacationing in the area and is on hand to lead the plan to stop them.

This is a fun little creature feature that shows how suddenly an environment can be changed by a new species introduced to the area. When it comes to the way the ants operate the overreaction to the deaths adds an element of comedy. It does seem like a lot of potential gore involved is held back on, leaving extremely clean-looking skeletons. Overall, you will know the type of movie you are going in to watch and it delivers on those expectations.

Final Thoughts Marabunta is an enjoyable fun creature feature.
