剧情简介
《蚁王杀机》延续了Stuart Gordon在《活跳尸》《异魔禁区》中一贯的“科学怪人”式道德溃败主题，但这次他将恐怖内化为日常的脆弱——影片叙事刻意放慢节奏，用大量时间堆叠主角Ray Mathews（丹尼尔·鲍德温 饰）陷入雇佣杀人泥潭的心理折损，直到蚂蚁入侵才将压抑彻底引爆。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。导演Stuart Gordon把节奏压得很慢，镜头总喜欢停在角色脸上，让你跟着他一起咽口水、冒冷汗。Gordon善用低角度特写和昆虫视角的碎片化剪辑，让观众与主角一同经历从怀疑到被吞噬的感官失序。 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. 相关搜索：
剧情很简单，就是一帮混蛋绑架了个倒霉蛋，结果被逼急了反咬一口。
如果你能接受黏糊糊的昆虫特写和慢节奏的心理压迫，而不是只追求血浆量，这部2003年的冷门B级片值得你花一个晚上关上灯慢慢看。
"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.
