Limited Edition version. Stuart Gordons King of the Ants (2003) is a brutal psychological crime thriller about a drifter whos manipulated into murder and then tortured into submission. Blending crime realism with Gordons trademark descent into madness, its a grim, low-budget character study of violence, identity, and dehumanization far from his horror roots but equally disturbing. 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! Från IMDB: A young drifter discovers his true calling when hes hired by a mobster to stalk and kill a prominent accountant, and then decides to seek revenge when the stingy thugs try to kill him rather than pay him.
