you can not imagine how i look forward to king of the ant . a a massive gordon fan and i await the european premiere with wicked anticipation . especially since i love dagon gordon last achievement so much . king of the ant premier here in my country and it be gordon himself who come to present it . unfortunately and i couldn not go and congratulate him for it afterwards . king of the ant be his most uninspired and mediocre film to date . really and the quality level never surpass ordinary tv thriller standard . the plot outline be terribly routine and with the exception of a few poor scene and the typical gordon touch be never recognize . on top of that and the already weak script have more hole than a swiss bowl of cheese . it involve a young wannabe crook who hire to commit a murder . so he do . and of course theyre not pay him . and of course he fall in love with the victim wife . and of course he avenge himself . only the sequence in which the guy descent in a spiral of madness be worth a mention and theyre the only one remind you of the fact youre still watch a stuart gordon film . the acting performance be below average with mccenna a the heroic lowlife and george ` norm peterson wendt a the chubby bastard and kari wuhrer a the good hearted sex bomb . extremely illogical thing happen constantly and the dullness of the story become irritate very quickly and while the make up effect aren not enough to even satisfy amateur horror fan . i read a few other comment on king of the ant and claim it gordon best since it finally be a thought provoking and mature film . well and if that the case . i rather stay immature and give re animator another viewing and thank you very much . oh well and i guess every good director run out of steam and inspiration eventually . too bad it also overcome stuart gordon .
