film_afl The movie is about a scientist who is about to save a small town from hordes of killer ants. Already from this it is possible to draw conclusions about the quality of the movie, i guess...In this movie no one say or do anything that is logical and reasonable. Already in the beginning this becomes clear when the main character Jim ask the helicopter-pilot if a volcano they see is active or not: "No it just burps once in a while"(!!) Well, that indeed means that it IS active.....Most things have already been said about this disaster but i guess my favorite scene is when the two police officers are at the farm and the farmer who live there have dug holes in the ground and poured gasoline into them to kill the ants, one of the cops fall into one of the pits and the other one runs over there and shout: "Don't use your gun, the place will blow up!" And what does he do? Well, then he just HAVE to do exactly that...After all, what good could it do to fire a gun in that situation at all...? And the worst thing is he already knew that there was gasoline there...Basically all scenes in the movie are of this intelligence. The solution to this whole thing is obviously to blow up a dam so the ants will drown but also the town will be flooded. There is absolutely NO logic in that decision, and consequently he also have to admit later: "I don't know if this did any good, i actually can't say that the problem is solved at all..." (uhu...) Plot, script, acting,... it doesn't get cheesier than this...the absurdities are heaped on top of each other non stop. I guess the kid should be given an Oscar just for being able to keep a straight face when he see the two main characters come rolling down the street on that mini-scooter.....Conclusion: This is the kind of movie where you start to suspect that the scriptwriters, the director etc. actually laugh among each other later about how many stupid things they could make stupid people say and do in front of a camera, kind of.....It isn't even so bad its good, it's even worse...

timprentice I write mainly to comment and reply to those who assert that this is a bad movie. If it were ever meant to catch Oscars eye, then this movie is pathetic. I rather think that this movie must be viewed on its own terms. From that perspective, this is actually a GREAT movie! This movie has garnered nearly a cult following. I wish there was a DVD released of it to buy. The movie has a plot line that more often than not strains credulity. The acting is competent in light of the lines these talented actors were given. Properly considered, this movie is more than anything else a comedy. This movie is so over the top that my family from the youngest age 5 to the oldest 45 each love it and try to re-arrange our schedule so we can see it every time it is aired.I would recommend this movie for an enjoyable evening when you want a good chuckle. It is comically entertaining, though perhaps inadvertently.

steffi_weffi has anyone noticed that this "movie" is made up of about 6 scenes in total? Each scene if you look closely (which really, you don't want to) is played at least 3 times over. and who noticed the massive case of 'cameltoe-itis' that the teacher lady had when asking for the gun? man, she's the style master. the CGI for blowing up the dam is cutting edge, not to mention when the helicopter goes kaboom while traveling at granny walking pace.overall, this "HORROR" movie which would have trouble scaring a two year old is not worth paying the five dollars to rent it out. this pathetic excuse for a film was probably put together in 3 days (or less) for fifty bucks (or less).if you have just watched this movie, you just wasted an hour and a half of your life which you will never get back.

silentchaos385 OK, so this might be the worst movie I've ever seen (a smidgen behind House of a Thousand Corpses), but if you have had a few drinks and are among a few of your closest friends, this could be one of the funniest movies of the past decade. When the ants are closing in on our heroes, they actually take the same clip and show it to you three times - making the ants seem as though they are marching to the same place three times over. This, plus excellent (and when I say excellent, I mean awful) special effects, acting, and death scenes make Killer Ants! a great movie for a Friday night at 2 AM when you've had one too many drinks and you're ready to make fun of anything that isn't yourself. (PS. watch for the scary skeleton in the barn!)
