如果你对心理恐怖与B级片质感情有独钟，Stuart Gordon在2003年执导的《蚁王杀机》值得一看。适合谁看呢？你要是喜欢《恐怖星球》那类B级片，或者对昆虫恐惧又好奇，半夜拉着朋友一起看，保准能边骂边笑。别指望多有深度，就是图个刺激，下饭正好！。适合欣赏慢热型犯罪恐怖、对特效和血腥阈值要求不高、更在意氛围与叙事逻辑的观众。
剧情亮点在于蚁群意象的反复出现：它们既是具象的追杀威胁，也是主角内心愧疚感的具象化符号。
这片子没搞什么花哨特效，就是一股子低成本B级片的糙劲儿，但那种蚁群铺天盖地爬满全身的实感，比现在电脑做的恶心多了。
Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals.
"King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.
From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.
The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.
The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.
Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
