Director: Bert I. Gordon
Cast: Joan Collins, Robert Lansing, John David Carson, Albert Salmi, Jacqueline Scott, Pamela Susan Shoop, Robert Pine, Edward Power, Brooke Palance, Tom Fadden
It would be nice to say there is some cult value here, but it's hard to find in this tale of crooked Marilyn (Joan Collins) trying to get buyers for an island that had been a radioactive waste dump. On a trip to the island, prospective buyers find giant, mutated ants that have spawned from the waste, and the feast begins. Terrible special effects.
