Strange celestial events, the wholesale slaughter of predators to ants in the Arizona desert and unusual crop circles are just the beginning of a series of highly unusual events that lead Dr. Davenport and Dr. Lesko to setup a scientific observation station on the outskirts of an abandoned housing development. What exactly is going on? And is Kendra Eldridge really the mother to a new race? So many fantastic scenes and ideas in this little known but well respected film released in 1974 by Paramount Pictures. Starring Nigel Davenport, Michael Murphy and Lynne Frederick, it’s the only film directed by acclaimed artist and designer Saul Bass. Bob and I wish he had directed further films. We really liked it!

You can watch it the entire film on Youtube.

And be sure to check out the trippy alternate ending.
