Empire of the Ants

“For they shall inherit the earth... sooner than you think!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 66, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A property-sales excursion becomes a very different kind of investment when giant ants take an interest in the customers. Joan Collins brings glamour to an ecological nightmare whose enlarged insects and increasingly strange plot have clearly bypassed sensible planning permission.
