The Deadly Mantis

A colossal, ancient praying mantis, thawed from its icy tomb, wreaks havoc on the US military and then rampages across the country, causing widespread destruction.

A massive praying mantis, frozen in time since prehistoric eras, is unleashed when an Arctic iceberg melts, and it begins to wreak havoc by devouring military personnel. As it marches towards warmer climates in Washington and New York, a team of scientists and military units join forces to take down the monstrous creature.
