　　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.
　　
　　"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.

　　警官约翰·荷伯斯（丹泽尔·华盛顿 Denzel Washington 饰）新近逮捕了一名杀人犯里斯，此人除了在电刑前说了几句奇怪的语言跟留下了一则暗语，并无特别之处。然而荷伯斯很快发现里斯的暗语指向一名三十年前自杀的警察罗伯·米拉诺。与此同时，几起连锁杀人案接连发生，凶手的手段如出一辙，更令人惊异的是每次的受害者即是上一桩凶案的嫌凶。荷伯斯拜访了罗伯之女格瑞坦，对方劝诫荷伯斯放弃调查。里斯的留言终被破译，原来他用叙利亚的古语言向荷伯斯发出威胁，而荷伯斯的坚持有了进一步的收获，他发现罗伯与近期几宗凶案的死者可能皆出自名为“阿萨索”的恶灵之手，阿萨索可以随意依附人体作恶，荷伯斯的缉凶之路因此而困难重重。这场人与恶灵之战，究竟如何收场？
