号称系美国七十年代最非出名嘅一部科幻电影杰作，导演索尔·巴斯系设计师，重有两次获过奥斯卡佐奖，但系唔知点解呢部经典嘅心理科幻片到而家都冇出D DVD。Desert ants suddenly form a collective intelligence and begin to wage war on the desert inhabitants. It is up to two scientists and a stray girl they rescue from the ants to destroy them. But the ants have otherideas.PhaseIV is an incredible full length feature film by Saul Bass who is most acclaimed as a graphic designer who's work can be seenas the opening credits from The Seven Year Itch，Vertigo，West Side Story to Alien，Broadcast News and Casino. Phase IV is a much overlooked film that is very much IN the style of The Andromeda Strain. What it perhaps lacks IN story，it gains IN the photography of the millions of ants.索尔·巴斯，美国动画片绘制家、美工师、导演，1920年5月8号生于纽约市，儿童时曾经喺布鲁克林学院学习绘画，毕业后做过十年自由职业设计师嘅职业，1946年喺洛杉矶创立索尔·巴斯合作公司。佢喺为啲片进行美术设计嘅时候，估出心裁噉为片头片落尾嘅演职人员表用埋生动活泼嘅动画人物，呢啲动画人物嘅形态动作跷妙噉显示咗片嘅主题，反映咗片嘅基调，从而令单调乏味嘅演职人员表和谐噉做咗片不可或缺一嘅地方，呢种大胆创新丰富咗电影嘅表现形式，广受观众们欢迎，其后为唔少国家嘅片所沿用。索尔·巴斯设计片头片落尾嘅片以《卡门·琼斯》（1955）、《红衣主教》（1963）等片最为出名。此外，佢重监制同导演咗好多电视广告片、动画片片同纪录片，如《敏锐嘅眼光》（1963）、《第四相》（一九七四）等。
