King Of The Ants

Product Information

The story is about Sean, a twenty-something housepainter. He's working with George Wendt, who played another housepainter (Norm) in CHEERS and branches out into being an electrician in this role as "Duke". But while Norm and Duke look damn similar, Duke is a scary guy and a complete a**hole. Director Gordon goes for the hand-held approach, it's a little shaky to give it that gritty documentary style but he never overdoes it & the on screen action is always clear & concise. There are one or two violent moments including Sean being hit with golf clubs in a series of scenes which have a really unpleasant tone & atmosphere about them & Gordon does a great job during these scenes. To Komugi) "If you win, I will give you anything you desire. But... if you lose... I will take you left arm." [17]

The first time he used En, it covered an area much wider than the palace grounds and spread at the speed of light. [44] Despite its vastness, his control over it is so refined that he was able to discern changes in the environment as small as fresh footprints. [46] At first, unbeknownst to him, his En transmutes part of his aura into photons that relay information to him. When, after only two uses, he became aware of this trait of his En, he was able to turn it into a Nen ability. [48] The absorption of Shaiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi endowed him with variations of their Nen abilities, which he could activate successfully on the first try. [40] [41] [46] Meruem's Nen AbilitiesTo Neferpitou) "It takes no skill whatsoever in simply spotting them and then eating them. The pleasure comes from not knowing they're rare until you bite in." [3] Stuart Gordon is not one of the most famous horror directors, but he's made a number of excellent movies (RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, EDMOND) and only a couple of truly bad 'uns (DAGON, ROBOT JOX). Like EDMOND, KING OF THE ANTS is more of a thriller... but ANTS has a number of truly horrific scenes that should ensure its appeal to horror fans. He worked as producer, writer, director and occasional guest star on Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) from 2000 to 2001. Subsequent television work has included writing and starring in BBC Three's Fast Show spin-off sitcom Swiss Toni. He is currently starring in Tittybangbang series 3 on BBC Three and has appeared as a panellist on QI. Meruem was born in Chapter 212, on the same day that Hakoware sealed off Gon's Nen for one month, as confirmed in Chapter 214. In Chapter 223 the Royal Guards announce that the population of the Republic of East Gorteau will have to gather in Peijin for a rally within 10 days; a few hours later, after midnight, Gon is able to use Nen again, signalling that one month has passed. Since Meruem died on the day of the rally, this places his age at the moment of his death at approximately 40 days old.

A young drifter discovers his true calling when he’s hired by a mobster to stalk and kill a prominent accountant, and then decides to seek revenge when the stingy thugs try to kill him rather than pay him. There are a handful of effects in here to grab our attention, but for the most part, this is a different type of Stuart Gordon film, one that focuses more on story than anything else. And while there are no Jeffery Combs appearances, or monsters breaking through into our dimension, there is a style and a skill here that make watching King of the Ants effortless, even for someone who was hoping for more of the familiar from the director. There is also a good deal of tension and suspense built up, as we aren’t really sure what to expect from the climax of the story, especially once we see Sean making his way into the life of the woman whose husband he killed. And while the ending is not perfect, it is satisfying enough given all that we were treated to in the body of the film.
