Fun + Nostalgic 'B' Movie


Actually very watchable, with the "hokeyness" of 50's movies kept to a minimum by not relying too much on effects/makeup. Lots of cool old cars, everybody smoking, gender roles played up (except that the CEO/founder of the firm was a woman-pretty ground-breaking for 1959). I saw a lot of negative reviews, but remember...you can't judge a 1959 horror movie by today's standards. Film has evolved, but this is still a classic of it's genre.

I agree.

1950s movies are not "hokey". And no, you can't judge "Wasp Woman" by today's standards, because it's better than today's horror movies.
