[ NOTES ]

Dead Ant (2017) is available on Blu-ray (MOD Recorded BD-R), "Special Edition" Blu-ray (Pressed Disc WITH EXTRAS!), and DVD. This is a film I originally bought on DVD from Dollar Tree, if that tells you something about the quality of the film. It's a bad film, but at least it knows it's a bad film. It is, in essence, This Is Spinal Tap meets Them!. An interesting bit of fun is that Hank Braxton, the director of the fan films Freddy vs. Ghostbusters (2004) and The Return of the Ghostbusters (2007), is an associate producer. As for the specific Blu-ray that I'm reviewing today, it is HIGHLY *NOT* RECOMMENDED! Not only is it a recorded BD-R disc, it's missing all of the extras from the "Special Edition" Blu-ray (which is probably a pressed disc). You want the Blu-ray from Cinedigm (UPC: 767685160992), not Cineverse (UPC: 767685170687).

As an FYI: The release I'm reviewing is a Manufacture On Demand Recorded Blu-ray, not a factory-pressed disc. If online artwork and the case spine says "Blu-ray Disc" in plain text, it's a BD-R recorded disc. If it has a Blu-ray logo, it's a factory-pressed disc. If you have the disc in hand, a purple bottom is a recorded disc, and a silver bottom is a pressed disc. It is said that factory-pressed discs last longer than recorded discs, aside from those made by Warner Brothers in the late 2000s. I don't know if that's true, but if it matters to you, I'm letting you know.
