Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is just shoddy, cheap, and never funny. Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The film is unapologetically "low art" ... yet fun, in its own way. Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter 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. Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Nick Spacek Starburst 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. Rated: 6/10 Jun 24, 2019 Full Review Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat 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. Rated: 7/10 Mar 18, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

larry b Great movie. If you are a 80s metal fan. You will love it. KIX band is the band they are talking about. I was screaming the song at the end. BLOW MY FUSE. I GOT NOTHING TO LOSS. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Not for everyone but this movie is hilarious. So sleazy and cheesy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a satirical knock at killer giant-bug movies… and it was worth the watch. It was loaded with shameless tropes, which it used to comedic advantage. Among the shameless tropes were a stoic native sage; idiotic musicians; nature seeking revenge on disrespectful humans; and music saving the world. To add to the tongue-in-cheek motif was the final song: Side Boob. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review the s This movie made me never want to see another movie again. It was that bad. No hyperbole or exaggeration. There was nothing redeeming about the plot, the acting, the effects...nothing. It made me embarrassed to be a human being. Is this seriously what movies have become? No talent, no skill, no fun, no humor. It made me wish the photography process and digital capabilities were never invented. This represents the worst of human beings and the worst of all that they represent. I weep for any person who found a single redeeming element to this movie. It really is that bad. Sorry. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jeffrey r Pure sleaze...and idiocy...pathetic Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice to know the power ballad is not dead, FUN A-- FLICK! Hope there's a sequel. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
