Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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.

This is perhaps the greatest movie of all time. Its a beautiful piece of work that makes you wonder how you ever lived before you saw it. Once you see the special effects in this flick you will wonder what all the fuss about Episode III is. Anyone who says this movie is "made for TV crap" obviously doesn't know anything about TV, crap, or movies. A true movie connoisseur would appreciate this movie for what it is, a story that was told to the best of the directors ability with the resources that he had...and thats all you can ask for. Frankly I'm tremendously impressed with the effort of all the people in this movie (except for the guy who picked out the mo-ped) It made me laugh, it made me cry, and even made me angry...but all in all I would say that I am a better person for having watched this movie.

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!)

"Marabunta" is a rather interesting killer creature film.**SPOILERS**Traveling to Alaska to do some fishing, Dr. Jim Conrad (Eric Lutes) and his friend begin finding all sorts of odd events. First, a private lake is drained of fish, then a moose is found stripped of skin, and then a human is found in the same condition. Sheriff Croy (Mitch Pileggi) is called over to investigate, and Jim and Bob stay to help out. While staying there, Jim strikes up a friendship with a local teacher, Laura, (Julia Campbell) and he also makes a startling discovery. He finds out that an army of ants is behind the local deaths. The ants attack first, causing Sheriff Croy to get the townspeople out of the area so they can together deal with the ants. With the town cleared, Jim and Laura go around the edges of town to find their home, and are attacked by the ants. Getting away in the nearby lake, Jim and Laura are able to report on the sheer size of the ants in the colony. Devising a last ditch plan, Croy and Jim are able to stop the ants from spreading to other towns.The Good News: This isn't a normal killer creature flick in that the killer creature is a horde of regular ants. There isn't any radioactively changed monster running amok, there isn't any space monster ripping people apart, and no genetically altered prehistoric dinosaur hunting people down. What makes the film work is that the monster is one that can be seen in everyone's backyard and that paranoia is put to maximum effect. The ant horde is pretty monstrous, and what is said about their off-screen kills is about as impressive as what happens on screen. We hear about a moose that two hunters identified as being tagged and then found two hours later completely stripped of skin. We see and also hear about a man skinned alive by the ants, so this has a bit more violence than most films of the type. It was also nice to see that the film put them in danger far more often than normal in these films. That also allows for more action than normal, and more action allows for the slow parts in the film to not standout as much as they should. To their credit, the film isn't slow for long parts. Most of the scenes are either explanations of the attacks or hunting down the threat. The ants are also identified a lot earlier than most similar films, and that eliminates the needless scientific studies to find the killer when the audience knows what it is from the first frame. The plan to kill the ants is also a pretty clever one that hasn't been used to too many films to stop an enemy in one of these films and I thought it was pretty effective.The Bad News: The film has many different scenes of the ants, but they are so obviously CGI that the distraction is so obvious, even three year-old will be able to tell the difference. They do behave like real ants, but their look isn't that real. What ever happened to the realistic CGI that is used in so many big movies that are made? CGI was supposed to make things look realistic that can't be captured in the real world, yet why are there so many different films where the CGI is so fake it becomes more distracting than the fake-ness of what is going on on-screen. This is a prime example of that.The Final Verdict: Obviously the ants are very poorly realized, but this is a pretty action packed story with more gore than you would expect. It is quite hard to find, but if you can, this is a good rental or at least a viewing on the Sci-Fi Channel, where it does pop up occasionally.Rated R: Graphic Violence, some Language, and a scene of children in danger.
