Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I enjoyed these movies
This review is more about Tentacles than Empire of the Ants. I watched Tentacles when it first aired on television back in the late 70s. It was nice seeing this movie again since it brought back some fond memories of my youth. It's been a long time and I'm happy I walked down memory lane for this one. It still hasn't lost any of its qualities as far as I'm concerned.
I had forgotten how brutal the octopus was. This creature killed indiscriminately so if you're a parent of an infant, maybe you had better reconsider watching this one.
I will say that the two marine biologists had a brutal yet elegant way of disposing of the monstrous octopus. It sort of reminded me of Boys from Brazil. That's all I'm going to say on that point.
Overall, it's a good movie to watch if you want a little horror without all the gore, which this flick has very little of, if any.
Empire of the Ants is another creature against man movie but with a novel twist that I won't give away. Joan Collins plays her role very well and the other actors do a good enough job. There wasn't a great deal of character development but it was enough to understand where the director was going with this flick. I liked Empire of the Ants because it reminded me of those 1950s movies where small insects get a dose of radiation and all hell breaks loose.
In the end, I say but this double feature instead of renting it. It's worth owning for your collection.
Rating: - um...
Let me break this to you as gently as I can.
Humans become ant-slaves by being forced to sniff the queen ant's farts.
When I remember how scared I was as a kid watching this at the drive-in in 1975, I cringe.
Don't know if the dvd works better as a "so-bad-its-good" flick, or a coffee coaster.
Rating:  - Landfill Material
How is it that production companies get the funding to make trash like these two movies? Someone should come up with a way to recycle DVD's so this wouldn't be an embarrassment to "honest" trash in our landfills. The acting is horrible, the plots are predictable (unless you are 5 years old)and the effects are laughable. Save your dough on this one.
Rating:  - 70's classic
Great example of a 70's "thriller" movie. The giant fake ants are pretty good for the time it was made. It also has the obvious funny shots with real ants ( pre CGI ). It worth watching for the 1970's atmosphere....that is something they can't duplicate now days.
Rating: - Two Terrible Movies/One Low Price
Really,
These movies are both horrible. "Empire of the Ants" has fake-looking giant ants attacking completely unsympathetic cardboard "characters." For those who enjoy pointless film trivia, a pre-Dynasty Joan Collins plays a trashy real-estate agent out to make a buck on unsuspecting deadbeats. Who cares? "Tentacles" has a fake-looking octopus attacking completely unsympathetic cardboard "characters." Again, who cares?
This movies are only good as "party/event movies", ie. Call a friend over, dim the lights, fire up the popcorn, and check out this shlock!
