The premise

When the 1989 "one-hit-wonder" glam-metal band "Sonic Grave" embark on a trip to Coachella in hopes of a comeback, their peyote trip pit stop in Joshua Tree incites an "unworldly" vicious attack, and they must "rock" themselves out of harms way.

Horror Vault's take

A washed-up glam-metal band from the late '80s is chasing one last shot at relevance when a desert detour goes spectacularly wrong. What starts as a peyote-fueled pit stop in Joshua Tree quickly escalates into a battle for survival against an overwhelming natural threat. Dead Ant leans hard into its ridiculous premise, blending creature-feature carnage with the absurd egos and antics of has-been rock stars. It's a love letter to both '80s excess and classic giant-bug B-movies.
