Eureka Entertainment is bringing cult 1970s eco-horror Empire of the Ants to Blu-ray in June.
Starring Joan Collins and inspired by the H.G. Wells short story of the same name, the film’s plot sees a barrel of toxic sludge wash up on a beach next to land being sold by Marilyn Fryser (Collins), who brings a number of potential buyers to view the beachfront location.
