I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

That was an excellent one.

A different way of telling a story

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A lot of familiar faces show up in this made for television film about a colony of ants who get mighty upset with humankind around Myrna Loy's resort hotel where there's some construction going on under the stewardship of foreman Robert Foxworth. This films teaches us that when Ants get disturbed they can really cause havoc.I remember back in good old Fort Polk almost 50 years ago I put my hand on a nest of Ants and got some bites for my trouble. With what Foxworth and Lynda Day George go through in the end I hope their paychecks cleared before filming that last rescue scene.You have to be an insect lover or a stargazer to appreciate this film. What was Myrna Loy thinking? I guess she saw a lot of her contemporaries go the horror and science fiction route. But this is definitely no Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. Louis B. Mayer never gave her a film like this.

"Ants" is kind of like watching a troupe of amateur junior actors; kind of pathetic but also unintentionally funny. It's one of those "nature runs amok" movies and that means that this time, the ants are not after your picnic... they're after you! During construction near the Lakewood Hotel, a worker stumbles upon one of his co-workers inside an excavated pit frantically trying to get something off of him. While the deadly ants begin to pick off people one by one, we are introduced to our characters: sleazy real estate guy Anthony Fleming (Gerald Gordon) is traveling to the hotel with his partner Gloria (Suzanne Somers). His goal is to buy the hotel and raze it to the ground to build a casino. He also wants to sexually harass Gloria! Meanwhile, the hotel's owner, wheelchair-bound Ethel Adams (Myrna Loy) is getting worried that the increasing amount of deadly incidents will drive the property value down, but she is also undecided about the whole business deal. Her daughter Valerie (Lynda Day George) is conducting a romance between herself and a construction worker and trying to get her mom to sell the place. The construction worker in question is Mike Carr (Robert Foxworth). He's the only guy that realizes that something fishy is going on with this ant infestation at the hotel. But will he be able to convince everyone, or will they all suffer a gruesome, ant-related death? And does anyone care about anything except for the bugs killing people because this drama is DULL! "Ants" was doomed from the very beginning. An infestation of killer spiders? That's scary. An army of rats taking over a building? Sure, that could be creepy too. An army of birds threatening a human population? That one's worked in the past. Ants? No one is afraid of ants! Sure they have superior numbers and can lift many times their own weight easily, but come on! The problem is worsened by the film's made-for-TV nature and the laughable special effects. If anything was going to make this picture work, it was going to be gruesome deaths. I can see it now (and try and picture this one with me): a man trips and sees a swarm of ants advance towards him. Before he knows it, they're covering his limbs and weighing him down. It's like a pit of quicksand made of insects. Pretty soon, he begins screaming but the ants take the opportunity to enter his mouth. Now, he's a vaguely human shape, scrambling desperately towards water. As the ants devour his flesh, he slows down and the audience tries to imagine what kind of horrific damage the creatures have done to this poor fellow. As the body hits the water, the ants disperse, revealing a mutilated clump of shredded meat and bones, something to be discovered by our hero, when it is already too late to warn the people of the hotel. I'm picturing a flesh-eating disease that crawls in through the door panels and eats you alive. People will be afraid to wander anywhere NEAR an anthill! Instead, what we have here is a PG-rated film where the ants have poisonous bites which paralyze people and then kill them. Talk about boring.I've seen some really bad special effects in my days, and this ranks highly among the list of the worst of the worst. My criticism ties into the problem with the initial premise. If you want to show an army of rats, it isn't that difficult. You can get say about 20 to 50 rats and just arrange them on various pieces of furniture and show them like that. A couple of good edits and there you go, an army of rats! As a bonus, rats are pretty intelligent creatures and can be trained to do some tricks that can make them look sneaky and ferocious. What can you do with ants? You certainly can't train them to do anything so the only thing you can do is basically show them crawling around. The trouble is that to show a swarm of ants that looks sufficiently numerous to do something like completely take over a hotel you would need an innumerable amount of insects and no one could ever pull it off. The ideal situation would be to either use cutting-edge special effects or very creative photography to give the illusion of this happening. "Ants" uses rocks. You can clearly tell that in most shots where the hotel is being overwhelmed by the insects, the "trails" of ants on the walls of the hotel are not moving at all. It's because those are not ants, but black rocks glued onto surfaces. There are even shots where you can clearly tell that they took real ants and placed them on the rocky surfaces in order to get some "movement" for the camera. It just makes it that much obvious that the people in charge here bit off way more than they could chew.What makes the movie genuinely entertaining is that not only is the story ridiculous and the special effects truly awful, but the film has several nonsensical developments. People make attempts to escape with their lives that are ludicrous and clearly won't work, intelligence drains away like water in a bathtub and even with the contrived plot that forces everyone to react to the threat in a very precise manner, actions don't make any sense. You will not believe your eyes if you see this film. I'd even go so far as to say that if you are a fan of bad special effects and lousy movies, this would be a must... if the drama wasn't so gosh-darned boring. I'm giggling at the idea of someone that's unprepared seeing this flick. (On DVD, May 30, 2015)

Released to TV in 1977 as a knock-off of the theatrical "Empire of the Ants," which came out several months earlier, "Ants" is (obviously) a 'when-animals-attack' film featuring the little critters in full attack mode. Although the insects were huge in the theatrical movie, here they're normal-sized but with a toxic bite due to chemicals in the ground or whatever.Robert Foxworth, a favorite of mine, plays the protagonist with his sidekick Bernie Casey, another favorite. Lynda Day George plays the girlfriend at the old hotel where the ants are uprising and Myrna Loy her crippled mother. Barry Van Dyke plays a stud working at the pool and cutie Karen Lamm his girlfriend, Linda. Suzanne Somers is also on hand as the associate of a businessman interested in buying the hotel.I've heard some criticize the movie as high camp when it's not campy at all. It's a straight forward creatures-on-the-loose flick with the requisite drama. There's nothing artificial or goofy about the acting or story, which defines camp. This is not to say, however, that there aren't giggle-worthy parts, like when the boy falls into the dumpster.There's nothing extraordinary about "Ants," but it's certainly decent enough to give an okay grade. Although Somers isn't fat by any means, she's not in good shape like she was early-on in "Three's Company" and over a dozen years later as a hot fitness guru. This can be observed in a couple of scenes where she's wearing a one-piece bathing suit. Karen Lamm works better as the requisite babe. As for Day George, she's dressed to the hilt with loose clothing the entire film.The film runs 95 minutes and was shot at Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island British Columbia.GRADE: C+

Even for a tired movie model as the nature vs. man cycle that prevailed so predominantly in the 1970s, ants falls miserably short of being even somewhat effective(though entertaining for reasons it was not intending). It is sooooo preposterous. Apparently these ants that are bulldozed near an inn have been eating poisonous waste for decades and have now adapted by emitting poisonous bites - hundreds of these bites being fatal. Watching actors of some notoriety clumsily fall amidst tiny black specks is painfully funny in a not-so-good-but very-bad way. So many scenes just look ludicrous: a boy trying to fall in a dumpster whilst being attacked, Suzanne Sommers crying out in horror while lounging in bed, Robert Foxworth and Lynda George breathing through pieces of wallpaper, Bernie Casey faking a gam leg, and the list goes on and on. The peril shown ranges from ants crawling from a drain to black lines of ants all over the walls. The cast for the film is not bad on paper, but none of these actors seem to believe in the material. Poor Myrna Loy has to sit in a wheelchair through this horror. I hope she found a good use for the money, for it is obvious that was the ONLY reason a woman of her pedigree would be in this nonsense. Although it is quite a bad film, it is watchable - once for me, and does have many of those seventies bad film qualities - start-studded actors embarrassing themselves, that made-for-TV feel, and the dreaded creatures of nature reeking vengeance on man. This time man must push his hand into a pile of ants to be affected. Really quite dreadful.
