Avis à la une
Dead Ant is a mediocre B-horror movie with a pretty decent cast. You'll recognize a lot of the actors and it's fun to see them all in a movie that doesn't take itself seriously. It's not a hidden gem or an amazing comedy, but it delivers what it promises.
After the setup, it gets a little rough for a bit and was shaping up to be a 4/10, but by the end they do a lot of the rock & roll jokes you wanted to see the whole time and they save it. Ironically the logic gets worse and worse, but the quality of the jokes do get better as it gets closer to the conclusion. If they were able to do the whole film like the ending scenes then I would have loved it.
Jake Busey is great as always, Tom Arnold has some pretty funny lines, and I really enjoyed Danny Woodburn until the end when they made him kind of lame.
Tom Arnold being Tom Arnold, but also everyone else involved giving it their best. It is not always easy to find the right mixture when it comes to horror and comedy. I would argue the movie hits the spot. So if you don't mind the subgenre, you could do a lot worse than this. And I know I may be a bit too forgiving when it comes to my rating - but it only happens ... well a quite few times actually. Still this is fun and entertaining and ends on quite the right note (no pun intended).
One of the film's main strengths is its atmosphere. The desolate landscapes and eerie quiet of the world the characters inhabit are effective in creating a sense of dread. The makeup and effects for the undead are also well done, adding some needed visual flair. The cast does their best with the material, and there are a few stand-out performances that manage to elevate some scenes.
However, the plot lacks cohesion, often drifting between disconnected set pieces without a strong narrative thread. The pacing drags at times, making it difficult to stay fully invested. The characters themselves feel underdeveloped, with motivations that remain unclear, making it hard to care deeply about their fates.
While Dead And isn't a total misfire, it feels like a missed opportunity. There are moments of genuine tension and creativity, but they're overshadowed by a disjointed story and lackluster character development. For fans of the genre, it may still be worth a watch, but it's unlikely to leave a lasting impression.
