David del Valle on

Empire of the Ants

Released 1977
Distributor American International Pictures

A late period entry in director Bert I. Gordon’s (Mr. B.I.G.) lifelong fascination with really big things. Here he tackles giant ants (who in turn tackle people) in a very loose adaptation of the H. G. Wells novel. Produced by the venerable Sam Arkoff for A.I.P., the movie stars Joan Collins and Robert Lansing, both in dire need of a plus-size can of Raid.
