The Asylum's Best Release, 28 January 2008
8/10
Author: Scars_Remain from United States

We all know about The Asylum. The company that shamelessly rips off major releases and put their films out at the same time ala Transmorphers, I Am Omega, Alien vs. Hunter. This is the one film of theirs that I've seen that is totally original and, for that matter, good. King of the Ants is a disturbing, almost neo-exploitation film that will have you feeling a sense of dread the entire way through.

The cast is all good and it features veterans such as George Wendt of Cheers fame and of course, Daniel Baldwin. Newcomer Chris McKenna also does a fantastic job. The story is great, the effects are awesome and the gore is also amazing. Though, I think it would be ignorant to expect anything less from Stuart Gordon.

If you want a disturbing film with good acting, definitely give this one a chance. It is great.
