by now and you probably already know what this movie be all about . but just in case and here be a brief overview of the film represent a ship dumps several barrel of nuclear waste into the ocean and apparently too close to the shore . one of the barrel wash onto a beach and begin to leak . marilyn fryser ( play by joan collins ) be an unscrupulous land dealer whose only intent be to take money from people . she hire a yacht owner ( play by robert lansing ) to take her potential investor to the propose building site to see if she can convince them to invest their money in her project . her plan fall apart when the group discover the area be populate by dangerous ant who have apparently come into contact with the nuclear waste mention earlier . i be actually a big fan of bad movie . my dvd collection include a bunch of bad film that probably never should have be make . watch these film help me appreciate the really good film even more . sometimes and these really bad film can also be accidentally hilarious because of how poorly create they be . i recently watch empire of the ant because i like joan collins and but also because i want to see if it be really as bad a everyone say . they be right . this movie be absolutely terrible . watch this film be a complete waste of my time . the storyline could not have be more boring . nothing unexpected happen except for one silly thing at the end . the character be one dimensional and bland and completely unremarkable . the script be horrible and and the special effect be just awful . i have see film that be make in the 1920s and 30 that look good than this . i hope you do not make the same mistake i make . there be nothing here that you should want to see . skip this movie and at all cost .
