"Empire of the Ants" is a 1977 science fiction horror film by Bert I. Gordon. Based very loosely on "Empire of the Ants" by H.G. Wells, the plot involves a group of prospective land buyers led by Marilyn Fryser (Joan Collins), who wind up battling giant, mutated ants capable of human mind control.

pecial effects

As with most Bert I. Gordon films, the titular menace is mostly shown through photographically enlarged animal footage. This did lead to some problems, as the ants' size would change in some scenes. When the film calls for the actors to interact with the ants, large mock-up props are used.
