#26 on SCI-FI TRAILERS VOLUME 9 & 10 (part of the TRAILER TRASH PROJECT)

At just 73 minutes, this Roger Corman flick is about what you'd expect. It's average, low budget horror entertainment. The problem is, the poster is WAY more exciting than the movie (typical) and there's very little Wasp Woman action. By the way, she doesn't look like the poster. It's a woman with a wasp head not the other way around. If you've seen low budget horror movies from the 50s then you know what you're in for and, like me, you'll probably find it a reasonable way to kill an hour and change.
