Review of The Wasp Woman (1959) by Peter H — 19 Dec 2009
OK, I'm a sucker for B movies, especially those directed by Roger Corman. So when I saw an 11-movie Roger Corman DVD set on sale in the local thrift shop for $1.50 how can one go wrong with that?? So first off the set I watched was an old favorite Wasp Woman.
Paralleling The Fly scientists tinkering with non-human enzymes causes a horrific outcome when pretty Susan Cabot starts to turn into a wasp. Good clean fun with surprisingly decent acting for a film of this caliber.
Barboura Morris as Cabot's faithful secretary is beautiful and it's a shame we lost her at the early age of 40-something in 1974. Cabot is also beautiful and a good actress. Unfortunately her life seemed like a B movie itself especially her tragic murder in 1986 by her dwarf son who bludgeoned her to death in her sleep.
