Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.

The story

A Florida real estate developer and her captain lure investors to a property in the Everglades called Dreamland Shores, under false pretenses that the swampland will soon be developed. After the group arrives on a small island, they find it has been overrun by giant mutated ants, brought on by the dumping of toxic waste in the area.
