Rating: 2 out of 10 The next in my
exploration of Bad Cinema and not breathtakingly bad as some of its predecessors.
A scientist fired from his job at a honey farm for experimenting with wasps. We
next see him in NYC attached to the owner of a large cosmetics company whose
firm's sales o drop after it becomes apparent to her customers that she is
aging. The scientist uses enzymes from the royal jelly of the queen wasp that
can reverse the aging process. The boss decides to use the jelly ahead of schedule
and sheds 20 years in a single weekend. Of course she also occasionally turns into
a murderous, wasp-like creature with the attendant hijinks. This as a Roger
Corman delivery so there was lots of dialogue and the campy bad special effects
he is justifiably famous for. The special effects consisted of a cheap
Halloween mask but the acting was amazingly superior to the material.
MVP: Susan Cabot as Janice Starlin the
wasp woman herself
