  73. And for my 98th and final 7-word review of SMM 2025, what else? A 1970's animals attacking humans made-for-TV movie. 😁

    ANTS! IT HAPPENED AT LAKEWOOD MANOR (1977, KINO LORBER DVD).

    Poisonous colony diminishes old hotel's market value.

    OR

    Bernie Casey AND Brian Dennehy? Hell yeah.

    OR

    Filled with throwaway tension, romance, non-threatening action.

    I concur with the sentiment that, while posts/review numbers are down this year, the quality of the seven-word reviews stood out more than usual. I'll take fewer better wtitten reviews than record-setting numerous ones that go through the motions. See you in early 2026 for the online/social media film festival, you filthy maggots! 👋😀
