Saw this on a pirated dvd. The trailer was enticing n the synopsis n settings more like Eight legged freaks.
The opening sequence was more like Starship Troopers, where two military men r firing at giant ants.
Cut back n v see some beautiful villas in the desert town n even more better is the amazing dirt bike racing scenes reminiscent of the new Point Break film.
Hordes of deadly giant ants attack a group of youngsters partying in the middle of nowhere. The effects of the giant ants were cool n the bike action sequences were really cool, particularly during one chase sequence with the giant ants in pursuit. Remember its a very low budget film n it managed to entertain very well. Also noteworthy is the cinematography.
What more could you ask from a monster movie?

From the first minute you can sometimes tell if a movie is going to be any good - It was not a good minute.Terrible acting and bog standard story done 40 years ago if my memory serves me right with Joan Collins in the Empire Of The Ants but apparently its based on a video game - hmmmmIt was supposed to be a comedy and to be fair I did have a few laughs so its not that bad. Good for a few beers with the lads and a few laughs - better if you are stoned marocless though!

Although this one is better than a lot of garbage coming from mainstream Hollywood producers, it shouldn't be rated against those big budget products.Meant to be fun entertainment - cheesy lines, gory, reference to the old classics (Them!), intentional over the top acting. Only an idiot can't see that this flick doesn't take itself seriously.Definitely worth a view.

Well I'm just paraphrasing of course. And the movie did not conquer judging from the voting so far. But comedy is in the eye of the beholder, so if you are not into silly horror comedy, you may feel insulted (by the movie and by my vote). But if you have a heart for low budget movies, who do achieve a certain quality and originality, then you will feel what I did when I watched this at the Fantasy Filmfest last year.The acting is good, the script had quite some funny ideas and it's really something you can enjoy if you let yourself. I did not expect this to be as much fun as it turned out to be and I'm really happy with what they came up with. The story is not new and what the characters have to go through is not new either. And others have gone the comedy route when it came to this kind of horror ... but it does have a couple of ideas it has that really do work. And the effects are not half bad. So again, this may or may not be for you - but the movie gives it its best shot
