King of the Ants (I) (2003)
7/10
Awful
24 February 2005
I've just seen this film. It is interesting I grant you that. However, it is so sickening and disturbing that it's really not worth it. I was amused until it got to the torture scene. Then I quite simply turned off my television. Now I've seen a lot of violent movies before (most of the classics) but this is really not worth it. At least the "torture"/rape scenes in Pulp Fiction were funny and stylish. This (In King of the Ants) it has been done 1000 of times and in this particular movie the torturers have absolutely no motive or any motivation to act like they do. None of the actors have acted in a way to make such brutal scenes credible in any way. I fast forwarded through the rest of the movie, and it really broke down there. I actually thought it was a good movie until the scene in the "shed". After that I think most people would lose interest.
