shady land developer and play by joan collins and lure prospective buyer to swamp land and unaware that the worthless real estate have already be buy by giant ant . the first half of the film be trite but tolerable . the second half make absolutely no sense and be full of plot hole . somehow and i just can not imagine the great h. g. well write a novel that be so inane . maybe the screenwriter make significant change to the original story . there be bad b grade science fiction movie out there . in addition to plan 9 from out space and my personal favorite be the giant claw . these two film be more enjoyable to watch than empire of the ant because they be so awful they at least provide some laugh .
