Blobbo X Typical '70's low-budget made-for-tv stuff. Good enough to make you itchy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A hotel complex where a new building is being constructed is infested with killer ants. I love the TV movies that featured a special guest star who was slumming it as work had dried up. Ants stars Myrna Loy as well as Suzanne Somers (!) and Lynda Day George (yes, the actress from Pieces!) so you know you're in for a special time. I actually remember watching this on UK TV in 1980 when I was the tender age of 5. I love the fact that whenever the ants appear on screen we get discordant violins on the soundtrack. This is surprisingly bright and breezy in tone until the ants become more prevalent within the storyline and then it becomes a lot more apocalyptic in tone (which is always welcome for cult film fans). The whole production is a triumph in camp however dark it tries to become. Ants aka It Happened at Lakewood Manor holds up very well though. The TV movie was also issued on DVD in 2014. This might not be some kind of classic uncovered from the vaults but it's nice to see it has a life after being shown on TV all those decades before. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 1977 TVM: A horde of ants terrorize and take over a luxury hotel and an adjoining construction site, endangering the lives of the hotel personnel, the guests, and the construction crew. A health inspectors come in to close down the site, but the ants have already attacked, trapping some of the hotel staff in the building. Another one of those creature disaster type movies that were popular in the 1970's. However, this one is rather entertaining, with some dramatic and intense moments, especially towards the end. Recommendable. Stars: Robert Foxworth, Lynda Day George, Myrna Loy, Gerald Gordon, Suzanne Somers, Bernie Casey, Brian Dennehy, and Barry Van Dyke.
