They Wanted a Fall Guy, They Created a Monster.

Directed by Stuart Gordon

Starring Chris L. McKenna, Kari Wuhrer, George Wendt and Daniel Baldwin

Sean, a young housepainter, has no direction or attachments in his life. When Duke (George Wendt), an acquaintance, hires him to spy on and then kill a man who threatens the shady business dealings that Duke and his employer Matthews (Daniel Baldwin) are engaged in, Sean agrees – for a price. 

After haphazardly carrying out the gruesome task, Duke and Matthews renege on paying Sean his blood money, and so begins a game of cat-and-mouse between killers and hit-man. Who will go further to be king – the immoral or the amoral?

Written by novelist and comedian Charlie Higson (The Fast Show) and based on his own novel of the same name, in an unlikely pairing with legendary director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond) comes a smart, twisted and unique crime thriller unlike any other. 

Boasting a wealth of brand new and archive extra features, King of the Ants makes its UK Blu-ray debut in this much treasured special edition!
