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.
女主去找弟弟的途中认了一个弟弟，最后发现把自己弟弟杀了的才是自己的亲弟弟…给看困了orz
构思真的不错，对于青少年来说是一部很好的入门惊悚片。唯一的错误就是分级是R级。
在B站睇到有些片段几重口暗黑嘅，就睇咗全片……m……女巫（不是原初那只）几靓女。
M真的太美了。越看越能理解为什么导演选她来演这个又倔强又脆弱的角色。虽然情节上有一点点跳跃，但感情刻画的还是很细腻，很耐心地给对白流了很多时间，不错，为女孩子们。
剧情还行，就是剧情不饱满，总体来说还行吧。
十月是万圣节的季节，night book刚在Netflix放出来我还以为是给小朋友看的家庭片。结果，我自己在看看被吓得不要不要的
各种标签…以及太冗长了…唯一高光部分是开着悍马在抄近路追逐那一段…
虽然女主们吵架分手相互捅刀情节有点狗血。导演的镜头还是很不错的，前半部分女主们的友情和舞者间共鸣拍的浪漫而不矫情，很有文青的灵魂交流范。芭蕾舞镜头捕捉的也很有美感。最后女主也算有机会嫁个金龟婿跻身上流社会了
怎么觉得就是一部大乱炖，哈尔的移动城堡，糖果屋，外加故事中的故事，只是小演员的文笔演技在线，其他确实get不到点。
惊悚？？？？？？恐怖片就是每个人莫名其妙，然后找莫名其妙的理由！
白富美能不能克制住自己扶贫的欲望，一直骄傲昂首，不要理会任何形态的bitch可以吗？！
Might be good for elementary schoolers, definitely not for adults or me. The actors did great job and sometimes could be absorbing and scary for young kids. It’s just not for me.
中下水平的一部电影。作为一部儿童恐怖片，影片不可能真的有多恐怖，这也造成影片本身缺乏亮点，正邪双方的故事本身就有些平平淡淡，男主讲的几个睡前恐怖故事，也并没有给人感觉有多恐怖，探案悬疑的部分算是有些亮点，讲故事时呈现的一些画面比较有童趣，但依然撑不起整部电影，另外就是现在欧美不敢黑黑人了，就开始黑黄种人了，如果不是在黑的话，为何结尾男主讲述自己的故事时，他的朋友一定是一个亚洲人，还是各种嫌弃男主，并会引发观众讨厌的亚洲人？实在是有些太刻意了。另外就是，女主明明拿了变女巫的药，也用了，为什么不先去拯救被变成人偶的朋友们，这会不会有些太自私了？结尾还刻意给了那些人偶镜头，这是想表达他们被遗忘了，所以很惨？整体来说就是个流水线下的作品，并不推荐。
老实说比预期的要好，有些镜头气氛也还是比较到位的，故事也说明白了，就是觉得剪辑有点凌乱，大女主真是太牛逼了，电影的走向有点超出我预期（最可怕的永远不是鬼怪是人心）
无毛猫很可爱~
因为配音组去看的哈哈哈奇怪的理由 开头就是太康的声音！片子本身剧情挺一般的 也不是很恐怖
女主很丑 跳芭蕾很笨 演技很差 角色很bitch
虽然评分比第一部高，并且增加了悬疑，但是我感觉还不如第一部好看，动作太少了，而且最后居然成了人作怪，跟上一部联系也不大，水生怎么了？
我太热爱这种儿童向邪典了，看冒险小虎队长大的影响。
网大很不错了！弟弟也太惨了！为啥姐姐没变身？
