3.0 out of 5 starsRooting for the giant ants to devour Joan Collins
By Lawrance Bernabo HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on 11 Nov. 2003
"Empire of the Ants" is yet another unintentionally funny film courtesy of director Bert I. Gordon ("Food of the Gods," "The Amazing Colossal Men," et al). The inspiration is the H.G. Wells futuristic morality tale, but in the end the novel is more of an excuse for the film than anything else. Now our story is set in Florida where Marilyn Fryer (Joan Collins, pre-"Dynasty") is running a real estate scam. The land in question is next to a dumping site for radioactive waste which is mutating the local ant population into giant 1950s horror movie type ants in the style of "Them" (literally; they are still puppets). Once the feeding frenzy begins, Captain Dan Stokely (Robert Lansing) loses his boat and drags Marilyn and some other walking entrees into the swamp and eventually a town where things get somewhat interesting.
The title does make some sense when we learn that the queen ant has actually taken over the town and its (yummy) sugar refinery. Just do not ask me to explain how the ants figure out that it is a factory and not simply a giant sugar stockpile, let alone that they need the humans to work the machines. Okay, I know that the answer is the radioactivity, but the idea it increases both the size of the ants along with their intelligence is just a bit much for me to swallow. Besides, nothing in this film makes me disposed to think kindly on these happenings, even though I remember Lansing fondly from "Twelve O'clock High" and interpret his constant teeth gritting having to do with his situation as an actor and not just as a character.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMutant ants!
By Sami El Alam on 27 April 2004
Format: DVD
Great transfer from MGM but my copy is not widescreen (while on the backit says so). Classic little 'monster' movie from sci-fi meister Bert I.Gordon. Beautiful Joan Collins is the witty & yes ... bitchy landdeveloper (I'm sure she was having fun while filming this one). Insectextravangza with over the top effects & average acting. Laughabledialogue, but you'll still love it.

3.0 out of 5 starsTHIS FILM WILL MAKE THE VIEWER ANTSY...
By lawyeraau HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 2 Jan. 2003
Format: DVD
This is a moderately entertaining, low budget film starring a young and lovely Joan Collins. She plays the part of a real estate agent who inveigles people to visit an island by offering them a free cruise. Once there, she tries to get them to buy property on the island, which is to be developed into a luxurious habitat for the well heeled.
Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the island is populated by giant, carnivorous ants, who display an uncanny intelligence and seem to thwart their human interlopers. Before one knows it, people start disappearing, and those left find themselves on the run. While the special effects are typical of a B movie, the film is better than one would think and deserving of a look, if one is fond of this genre.

2.0 out of 5 starsRubbish film, good for a few laughs
By A. Griffiths on 5 July 2006
Format: DVD
This is terrible. Thank goodness the Midnight Movies DVD release had the sense to dress up the cover with shlocky artwork that encourages you to enjoy the cheesier aspects of the film rather than the drama, because as a serious monster movie, it fails pretty solidly. Joan Collins leads the not-so-star cast in a tale of rampaging giant ants, grown huge on eating radioactive waste and overrunning a remote swampland location where Joan is leading a guided tour of prospective real-estate purchasers. The ants have grown to the size of horses and they aren't shy about attacking, so it's a fight for survival as the terrified humans try and escape the ant-filled swamp.

The cast are all pretty forgettable, and even Joan Collins does little with her (admittedly 2-dimensional) part. Playing the part of a haughty, manipulative schemer is one of her proven abilities, and she performs adequately and it is always nice to see her strutting and sniping while she's onscreen. Unfortunately her acting skills fail her when she is called upon to cower in terror in the face of giant ants, but then, none of the cast manage to pull this off realistically with the very poor special effects that have to contend with. And of course its giant ants we have paid to see, so after half an hour of very obvious character setting dialogue and strolling about, we are ready to cheer as we finally see the first giant ants attack....oh dear.

Well, it's not good. The ants are presented on screen in two ways, either in magnified footage of real ants performing on tiny sets, or giant fake prop ants bumping into the live actors for the attack close ups.Read more ›
