Mind you, I am not saying this movie is a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but I found it to have its share of entertainment value in the form of its pacing, cinematography, sets, characters with enough dynamism to keep my interest, and overall atmosphere. In short, I found it a welcome change from much of the contemporary dreck in circulation. That and the lady who played Doris was great eye candy.
shareI don't know. There were some talented people working on it, the plot was okay, but I think it was executed horribly and the bee effects were super fake. The acting isn't all that great with a few exceptions. I just watched it last night and I do think it's a bad movie.
That being said, it's not gut-wrenchingly awful, it's a tolerable movie. I've seen Frank Finlay in several things so it's cool he's the bad guy. I love the ending too, I don't understand how it's so hard to get (maybe people just fell for Mike and the Bots' reaction to it).
Well yes, a splat today, but tomorrow - who knows, or dares to dream?
I love it because it's so reminiscent of the swingin' British 60s...that'll always have a soft spot for me!
shareI first saw this movie on WABC in NY on "The 4:30 Movie" during the '70s. I loved it then as a kid, but I haven't seen it since.
BTW, like "The Killer Shrews," Stephen King wrote in "Danse Macabre" that "The Deadly Bees" was an important horror movie, FWIW.
No blah, blah, blah!
I thought it was quite enjoyable and entertaining. I don't think it deserved to be on MST3K because it wasn't that bad at all.
Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.
I like it. It wasn't particularly good but it wasn't really bad either.
What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
I like this movie, although I do recognize it's no masterpiece. The Hargrove marriage alone makes it worth watching.
I don't have time to jaw with anyone who won't identify himself!
People overlook the cool mystery aspect of it. I mean, I was torn about who the bad guy would end up being. I was hoping it would be Michael Ripper !
shareLike so many others, I first saw this movie on MST and always found it to be fairly entertaining on it's own. Years later, I found the movie on DVD and had to pick it up. I actually like it.
