Movie Reviews of The Wasp Woman
Movie Review: A Corman Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always had a soft spot for Wasp Woman. The not so special effects are lame and the acting is campy, but you just have to love this thing. The box cover shows a human head on a giant WASPs body. The movie actually shows a human body with a WASP's face. Plus everytime she turns into the WASP be prepared for a very loud buzzzzzzzzz coming from your TV.
I'm not sure how injesting 'Royal WASP Jelly' can stop and reverse the aging process, but you kind of just go along with it. A female president of a cosmetics company is aging and she feels it's bad for business. A mad scientist comes to her and shows his discovery. She is convinced and decides to try it out on herself. Of course you know it all goes bad for her from there. The WASP woman has some great kills in this one. Not too gory, but some great scenes.
The WASP Woman may be the only movie monster to be stopped by hydrochloric acid, a wooden chair, and a closed window.
Enjoy the show.
Summary of The Wasp Woman
THE WASP WOMAN A Beautiful Woman by Day?A Lusting Queen Wasp by Night! [ Roger Corman, king of the cult classics, produced and directed this low-budget fear-fest, and even makes an uncredited cameo appearance as a doctor in one of the hospital scenes. Susan Cabot (Sorority Girl) plays Janice Starlin, whose cosmetics company has started to lose sales, because its marketing relies on her own once-impressive but now aging beauty. The eccentric Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark) develops an enzyme extract from royal wasp jelly, which rejuvenates Janice, with one tiny little side effect: it turns her into a monster! Written by frequent Corman collaborator Leo Gordon (The Terror), this co-stars Anthony (aka Fred) Eisley (Dracula Vs. Frankenstein) and Barboura Morris (A Bucket of Blood).
