A FILM BY JOE DANTE WHO MADE GREMLINS

“ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMEDIES IN YEARS. A MUST SEE!” News of the World

"FILLED WITH NOSTALGIA FOR FILM LOVERS. JOHN GOODMAN IS PERFECT!" Bonniers Stora Filmguide

HALF MAN! HALF ANT! ALL TERROR!!! , the poster for MANT ! screams out. Behind the work stands the insane B-movie king Lawrence Woolsey, who once again hopes to cash in on the audience's atomic fear. The year is 1962, the place is Key West and Woolsey is in the process of arranging unpleasant surprises for the premiere audience (electric shock-equipped cinema chairs, invasions of living monsters, etc.) when his film visions are about to become a nightmarish reality. The Cuban Missile Crisis has escalated and off the coast the nuclear-armed ships are gathering, which contributes to the premiere being a hair-raising experience that the city will never forget...

John Goodman is unforgettable as Lawrence Woolsey, modeled after real-life B-movie legend William Castle. Behind the camera is Joe Dante, whose deep love of film has also triumphed in films such as Gremlins I & II, Piranha, The Howling and 24-hour Manhunt .
