Editorial Reviews

Life is no picnic when two lovely ladies and the other guests at a luxurious mountain resort are terrorized by a hungry horde of ants. When the ants eat toxic insecticies they don't die: they just get meaner! This made-for-TV movie was originally entitled IT HAPPENED AT LAKEWOOD MANOR.

4.0 out of 5 stars "An Army like no Other!", January 12, 2008

This review is from: Ants (DVD)

It is said in the scientific circles that if, for whatever reason, the insect species were to rise and attack us, we would have no hope of survival. Food for thought. Well in this well crafted thriller with an angle of Science Fiction, the day they speak of has come.

Our story opens at an aged, somewhat uncool and border line out of date Motel/Inn were a nearby construction site has disturbed a small patch of ground that is home to an enormous soldier ant nest. This particularly poisonous species lashes out with stealth, attacking through a broken sewer pipe and against a small boy in a dumpster. But with the attack of a broad shouldered construction worker who is literaly brought to his knees, things start to get serious.

Sometimes know as..."It happened at Lakewood Manour" This nature against man movie is one of the best, with good characters, a good build up in suspence. And an ending for the hero's of our story that will have anyone's skin crawling......Please enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars It ain't Shakespeare, or even Sci-Fi channel productions, but bought it for a dollar and so i'll give it a break, April 1, 2007

First off Suzanne Somers is in this one for about 5 min. total(most of it in a bed sheet) so don't think she's the star, Robert Foxworth is and as cheap horror movies for T.V. go(1977) this isn't that bad. You get what you pay for though(if you pay over 2.00 dollars ,you've payed too much) so sit back and watch ants wipe out a resort.

3.0 out of 5 stars SUZANNE SOMERS COVERED IN VICIOUS, KILLER ANTS!..., April 19, 2009

This review is from: Ants (DVD)

ANTS is one of those sillier-than-usual made-for-TV movies that I watched as a kid. I just watched it again this afternoon and enjoyed most of it, cheeze and all. Robert Foxworth (Prophecy) is a construction worker trying to figure out what has injured and killed members of his crew. Myrna Loy (!) and Lynda Day George (Pieces) are the mother / daughter owners of the hotel under siege by the angry little insects of the title. A pre-thighmaster Suzanne Somers is definitely a hottie, and proves that she can have ants in her pants just like anyone else! As ant-attack movies go, ANTS isn't totally awful. While it's not as good as THEM or PHASE IV, it is nowhere near as bad as EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (although Joan Collins is a riot)! So, prepare yourself for some sporadic crawly fun between dull stretches of tedium...
