Crime buff house painter Sean (Chris McKenna) leads a mundane existence. But when he meets a shady electrician (George Wendt) who hooks him up with crime boss Ray (Daniel Baldwin), Sean is offered cash for trailing and photographing an accountant. Sean takes the job, seeing it as a way to alleviate his boredom--and is soon offered the job of killing the man. He successfully pulls off the hit, only to have Ray`s goons deal him an extremely lengthy and disfiguring beating in an attempt to erase all evidence of the crime. But Sean is tougher than they estimate... Directed by Stuart Gordon (RE-ANIMATOR, HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS), KING OF THE ANTS is an extremely violent thriller with a surprising amount of dark humor.
