Dead Ant

This is just shoddy, cheap, and never funny.

The film is unapologetically "low art" ... yet fun, in its own way.

This is the sort of effort that wears its cult movie aspirations so heavily on its sleeve that it they should bring back drive-in theaters to show it.

The actors, while B-movie grade, are still professional, and commit fully to the premise at hand. There's no attempt to try to make Giant Killer Ants more than it is, but there's also no winking and nodding at the audience, either.

If a collision between Spinal Tap and 1950s creature feature Them! sounds like a blast, then this big-bug brouhaha (with emphasis on ha-ha) should tickle your fancy.

Dead Ant is not quite the slam dunk it could be, based on its concept and cast. However, the faults don't deter from the sheer fun and energy of the production. Combine that with the very game cast and you get a recipe for a good time.

Dead Ant is a somewhat cheesy, but delightfully funny film that shows a has-been band pitted against giant killer ants.

little original in the film's merger of hard formication, insect escapades and killer tracks.... Yet sometimes it is the old, familiar tunes that the audience really craves - and Dead Ant's comic playlist sure gives them a zany remix.

Giant Killer Ant (UK title) could have been a Sy-Fy channel classic, but meanders on the edge of mediocrity. Still worth a watch, if only to see Jake Busey rock out during the film's climax.

Dead Antis the kind of movie that owes its success largely due to its actors' willingness to embrace the film's absurdities.
