Clevercell Very disappointing...

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scarier then The Exorcist. And that is not easy to do. This is a great movie. I do not know why people give it a 4. It is not a 4. It is a 10. See it. If you like good horror movies you will like this movie. It is very scary. If this movie does not scary you no movie will. Do not watch this movie alone. It is very scary. Great movie great movie great movie. John David Carson was a great actor. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do.

atinder I saw the other killer ant movie early that also made in the same as this, which a TV movie, Which I found better then this!I found the movie very predicable from the start, it was very boring at time.Mostly I found it really annoying, a lot stuff really annoyed me.When the first Ant attack, I thought it decent, a bit bloody, I found the camera scenes was shaking a little to much.Every time the ants attack, the camera was shake too much and too long.If that was annoying enough, the Ants noise, was just really irritating, too many times, it came me headache.I just found it really annoyed, which made me enjoy it less.4 out o 10

utgard14 Joan Collins is running a real estate scam in the Florida Everglades. She takes some potential investors to an island to look it over and they are all attacked by giant ants. Another laughable B movie from Bert I. Gordon. This is the third in AIP's H.G. Wells trilogy, after Food of the Gods and The Island of Dr. Moreau. Just like with most of Gordon's '50s B movies, the special effects here are very poor. The giant ants are represented by photographically enlarging the footage of real ants, as if that would fool anybody. One ridiculously ineffective scene has Robert Lansing and John David Carson on a boat swinging oars at some of the ants on a nearby shore. They are clearly swinging at nothing with the ants added later. For some scenes that require the actors to physically touch the ants, they use mock-ups of large ants that are so unrealistic the camera swings about wildly to keep the audience from focusing on them too long. It's all very cheap and no-budget but there is some quaint charm to it, I suppose.The cast takes it all seriously, as if this was going to be their Jaws. There's even some Jaws rip-off music. Joan Collins' theatrics are always worth watching. Robert Lansing does his best to rise above the material. Sexy Pamela Shoop goes braless through the whole movie. That may sound like a pretty weak contribution but one takes what one can get when watching a movie like this. The rest of the cast is made up of people you might recognize but likely won't remember their names. It's all very cheesy and tacky but also very watchable. I was never bored with it. But I am someone who can enjoy a good cheap B horror flick. Some of you might have less patience for those types of films. If nothing else, there is some nice Everglades scenery and all the footage of ants you could ever want to see. If either of those things appeals to you, this is your movie.

ElectricWarlock If all you knew of this film was it's title and what it is about, you'd probably expect it to be just another cheesy B-movie. However, I think it has qualities that sets it apart from other B-movies. It actually has an interesting story, characters with a lot of depth, good acting, and great looking filming locations. All of the characters in this movie are fascinating. They feel like real people rather than just cardboard props that exist simply to be killed. The actors and actresses who play the characters are wonderful as well. Joan Collins, Pamela Susan Shoop, and John David Carson particularly stand out. They bring a certain quality to their characters that makes you like them. The story also has an interesting premise. It is somewhat similar to the movie Them!, but has just enough of Bert I. Gordon's charm that you can easily distinguish the two. I will admit, the giant ants don't look very realistic. But unless you grab a large group of giant ants, find a way to enlarge them drastically, and then train them to act, there's no way they could ever look completely authentic so the effects don't bother me. I don't watch films for how good their effects are anyways. I watch them for an interesting story with fascinating characters and I feel this film has both of those qualities. I won't go as far to say this film is the biggest masterpiece of all time, but I believe it is well written, well acted, and highly entertaining. That's all I ask for in a film. Don't let any bad reviews discourage you from seeing this film because you will be missing a charming, fascinating movie. This is an underrated film and doesn't get enough credit for how good it truly is.
