Gave it a four

A real flashback to the 70's/80's naturpathic flicks, Empire Of The Ants, Food Of The Gods, Kingdom Of The Spiders etc. I enjoy these things and I don't go into them with some over expectation of greatness. These movies won't ever be mentioned at the Oscars, but they give a good evening of entertainment with the buddies or the kids. I still like the 70's disaster movies, too. So, sue me.

Not every movie has to try to be a ten. If they all did, they'd all fail miserably and be crap. I like it when a movie crew sets out to make a good, average, but highly entertaining "good movie".

This is one of my favorite silly movies! Julia Campbell is cute in it and adds some eye candy. Then you have the X-Files dude playing the sheriff. I kept waiting on him to call Mulder & Scully. After all, these ants would fall into an X-Files case.

Yeah, I tend to agree, Dennis. I went back and switched it to a five. I love M.P. He's a hell of a tough guy actor.
