Co-written and directed by Bert I. Gordon (The Food of the Gods), Empire of the Ants stars Joan Collins as Marilyn Fryser, a sleazy land developer who takes prospective buyers on a tour of some “beach-front property” down in the Florida Everglades.

The trip is cut short, however, when the group stumbles upon a lair of – you guessed it – giant ants. You see, the land itself is not only worthless, it’s toxic – a barrel of radioactive waste has washed ashore and turned the island’s harmless ants into monstrous creatures with a taste for human flesh.
