The Hive (2008)

i really can't think off hand the last time i seen a supposed horror movie this lousy,, Tom Wopat's acting was well very wooden at best. the storyline well was totally unbelievable,, " we don't negotiate with ants" oh boy,, and the part where the ants got that thing going on , like they are talking to the humans, where do they actually get this stuff, the only part i think i actually liked was where one of the ants crawled in the guys ear, and kept messing with him the whole entire movie. i have seen some bad horror movies but this one i think really takes the cake , because it is so unbelievably bad, and for the most part very unrealistic, i think that this movie could have been better, with a better director, and better actors would have helpled quite a bit, you could have had the ants swarming and stuff,, and terrifying people , but i think that you would have to cut the crap out about the ants communicating, that has to go .

This is a ridiculous albeit somewhat compelling low-budget effort at an "eco-disaster" movie. From the title you might imagine that it revolves around bees, but it is in fact about ant colonies which have developed advanced intelligence and super-powers as a result of alien intervention. The plot is mostly predictable although it does include some bizarre twists, the acting is mediocre and the special effects are not so special. That said, the premise is quite interesting - we know that ants communicate in some way and work together, but what if they got really clever? It is a mixture of "The Naked Jungle" (an oldie but goodie with Charlton Heston having to deal with "the marabunta") and "Phase IV", both of which are far better films.

This is one of those misleading films that you see in IMDb and you instantly assume that are utter trash. I guess most people will dismiss this film as silly and awful without haven't even watching it. I pity them. And I'm not talking about your regular "This is so bad its good!!!". No dear internet fellows, I'm talking about, "This is so good its awesome!".The, for most people I guess, apparently laughable plot (a film about killer ants, you say?) hides an extremely satisfactory script that manages to deliver thrilling action and top of line dialog lines. Not many low-budget TV films manage to capture the essence of what every sci-fi should aim at: originality, compelling story and, above all, credibility. The final twist of the film is the perfect example of that: pure indie brilliance.I'm not giving the film a 10 since CG scenes are a bit blurry because of the film's low budget, but don't let that mislead you: this is one film you owe yourself to see.

"ants that crawl fast enough to catch running humans, and even give an SUV a run for its money"Yeah, that's the good of it, but not all, the whole movie is full of surprises like that, where can you find such a crooked story? would you prefer an ant-attack movie where the ants are just ants, they act like ants, attack villages like ants, and at the end died like ants? I think i have seen that kind of movie once or twice... also with spiders... bees... piranhas... snakes... next would be elephants?The only reason for voting the movie with a 9, not reaching the top 10 mark, is the predictable ending, i would have enjoyed quite a lot more an ending according with the rest of the movie.So, for me, TOP 25 more enjoyable and original movie ever! Anyway, i have to admit that this is not a movie for straight minded people but a movie for free thinkers, people who have an open mind, an imagination that let them think and live beyond the boredom of the day by day life!
