THE QUEEN BEE GOES ON A B-GRADE KILLING SPREE!
Favorite Movie Quote: "Darling, you must tell me your beauty secret!"
ATTENTION ALL SCHLOCK MOVIE FANS!
If you like a horror movie at its absolute cheapest with lots of wooden acting, and terrible dialogue, and really, really stupid characters, and a ridiculous plot, and bargain-basement make-up effects, then this ROGER CORMAN 'Z-Grade Special' is the one for you. Wait'll you get a load of the hilarious 'Bumble -Bee' music that's laced through the soundtrack. Why its atmospheric effect is a touch of pure genius on CORMAN's part.
Everything about THE WASP WOMAN is utterly laughable, especially SUSAN CABOT transformed into the Wasp-Creature-Lady. I guess, this is what makes a flick like this worth watching. Director ROGER CORMAN was a master at producing trash such as this. It was the staple at so many Drive-Ins which catered to teens in the 50's and 60's. CORMAN churned it out and the Boppers gobbled it up, along with their Cokes, popcorn and hotdogs. Junk Food for the body and the mind. A perfect combo for any normal teenage diet.
THE WASP WOMAN's riveting story revolves around cosmetics, corporate back-stabbing, office hi-jinks, reversing the aging process, incompetent scientists, goofy bee-keepers, and the worst case scenario of what could possibly go wrong with an experiment using royal-jelly extracted from the Queen Wasp, herself, as the principle ingredient. Everything in this flick is played at a hum-drum level, which was a unique trademark of CORMAN's.
See THE WASP WOMAN at your own risk. It'll either have you 'buzzing' with laughter, or snoring (zzzzzzz) with boredom.
