Phase IV Reviews
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
With its amazing bug footage, and psychobabble scripting, it's The Hellstrom Chronicle (an obvious influence) taken into Twilight Zone territory
DVDTalk.com
David Cornelius
A killer bug flick upgraded for the downbeat 70s, a small scale B-picture reworked for the post-2001 hard sci-fi set.
Unseen Films
Nathanael Hood
In Phase IV we see a fledgling filmmaker biting off more than they can chew.
Variety
Variety Staff
Cinematically, the ants are never very menacing.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
A concept and a script that is initially spellbinding but then quickly turns into mystifying vacillations between fact and largely unconvincing fiction.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
So-so ecological SF thriller.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Shane Burridge
Should forever dispel anyone's image of ants as little black dots.
Den of Geek
Think of it as the 2001: A Space Odyssey of treacherous ant movies.
TV Guide
Nice idea for a science-fiction film, but it just doesn't (and probably couldn't) work.
