The Final Word on Physical Media
Cool World was an interesting concept and had some fun visuals but the characters were as thinly developed and the story felt sloppy, if not also uninteresting. Had potential but the end result was a mess and not a surprise why I never bothered to re-watch since its release.

As these direct-to-video flicks go, White Elephant at least had some elements of a stable production and I will say Michael Rooker was good in the lead while the supporting actors didn’t have a whole lot to work with

Ants is another eco-horror thriller TV movie from the late 1970s and is pretty much on par with the likes of Tarantulas and Terror Out of the Sky, meaning passably entertaining but not much more than that.
Terror Out of the Sky is another made-for-television attack feature that has elements of entertainment even I didn’t find it especially thrilling or scary, but it’s okay as a time waster.
