Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals.
"King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.
From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.
The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.
The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.
Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
无礼当个性，粗俗视为酷，女主这么婊竟然都没被有灵异能力的丧尸杀死。
所以每一个最后的幸存者都是这个异次元生物的仆人，负责抓来人当作它的食物？
22.6 惊喜体验 让人每秒都想暴揍她的女主+大冤种好友+诺基亚级别抗震续航防水手机+没时间解释了我们是邪教+粗口三俗rap串烧 就是这么疯
和小段一起看。虽然看得云里雾里的，但这血腥程度确实可以，而且恐怖片看出了喜剧效果是怎么回事？
断断续续看完了，大意就是只要给那个怪物上供，自己就会获得能量，前提是被上供的那个人意志力薄弱。节奏太慢了，还以为是梦魇一类的，结果最后怪物才出场，两星，怪物造型加一星。
镜头晃成这样，其实已经在故意营造生理不适，有几个事件的设计可以，老婆婆被订书机封住的嘴，最后从嘴里爆出来的生物，这个可怜的女人是个宿主，女主rap太多废话减一星
前面墨迹了一点，总是梦境里吓人，后来还行，起码挺有逻辑
片子不烂，但是你要熬过疯子女主前面10分钟的戏份，后面高能一波接一波，想象力，血腥度都还可以，又好笑又吓人，
快进了几个镜头，弃了……如果这都是艺术，我宁愿当个野蛮人
冲着布兰妮my only wish看的。整体就是一部流水线网飞电影，不过圣诞题材嘛，简单、温馨就够了🎄
箱子里钻出玛雅神兽操纵梦境吃人头颅，总感觉和鬼屋氛围不太搭，有点缝合。穷比鬼可怕多了。
这是第一部让我为反派着急上火的恐怖片，支撑我看完全片的唯一动力就是想看这个傻b女主怎么惨死，可是反派鬼神太弱效率太低，着实让人火大😂
妹讲清楚 里面的怪物设计的倒是很优秀 有没有什么电影可以传承一下？
3.5，用Chaotic来形容实在太准确，好久没看到这么开心的疯片了（某些人真的能不能别传一堆机翻截图到豆瓣引流了）
反复回味，怒打五星，从来没有见过这样又笋又贱疯疯癫癫惹来一堆麻烦但又如此real所以一点也不招人讨厌的女主，树疗治艾滋病毒入脑那段简直笑死，怎么会有这等妙人，我想天天看她直播rap
年度最佳血腥惊悚片。预判错误，我预判6.2分~7点2分，大家应该都没有认真看结尾。但我没看全片，所以我还是将五颗星改为四颗星吧。
太恶趣味了，惊吓桥段都不错，几处jump scare也没有让人很反感，除了剧情太薄弱和角色太聒噪外都挺好的，但其实女主的角色单纯从塑造方面来说也算成功
建议看网上的剪辑好的，毕竟高潮部分就一点点，而且还挺后面的
