The Wasp Woman (1959)

Not A Bad Corman Film

Janice Starlin is a cosmetics queen but is about to loose her empire. Her company has been using her face to promote the bee products made from a queen bee serum but Ms. Starlin is getting older. One of the beekeeper (pseudo) scientists believes he has found the fountain of youth through the queen wasps and develops an anti-aging product for the Starlin company but Ms Starlin insists that she is to be the one to test the product first before it is marketed. The new product has a strange effect on Ms Starlin - it causes her to become The Wasp Woman.

Not a bad film. Most of the film is about the development of the product and Ms Starlin in human form. Very little do we see Starlin as The Wasp Woman - and I find the film better that way than to constantly see her attacking people which can get old fast.

6/10
