- ConnectionsEdited into Haunted Hollywood: The Wasp Woman (2016)
A horror film by the maestro of the exploitation Roger Corman with thrills , chills, intrigue and creepy events . The movie follows "The Fly" wake , the latter directed by Kurt Neumann and starred by Vincent Price dealt with a fly mingled with the human gens of David Hedison , while "The Wasp Woman" concerns the injection of Wasp enzymes into the beautiful body of Susan Cabot . This one resulta to be a perfect example of Roger Corman work and highlights the dangerous experiments of attempting to control and exploit nature . This Wasp woman is considered to be by some reviewers one of the best Corman outings in his period of the Fifties when he produced or directed a lot of Monster Movies. .Susan Cabot gives an acceptable acting as the headstrong cosmetics company owner who attempts at whatever means to become herself a younger woman resulting in getting anatomically confused with a giant Wasp. Susan Cabot is well accompanied by an unknown or little known support cast, such as : Anthony Eisley, Barboura Morris, Michael Mark, Bruno VeSota , Lynn Cartwright and brief appearance by Frank Wolff , some of them Roger Corman's regulars . As well as cameos from Gene Corman and Roger Corman himself . As tells the film advert , for you own good we don't let you see it alone , unless you absolve the management for the unpredictable effects of the Wasp on your nervous system.
Interesting though predictable script by actor, productor, writer Leo Gordon . The picture contains an atmospheric cinematography in black and white by Harry Neumann.There are also various technicians from Corman factory , as production designer Daniel Haller, producer Gene Corman and Jack Hill as director assistant . The motion picture was well directed by the famous writer, producer , director Roger Corman. He made all kinds of genres , usually directing in a few days . As he made Westerns as The Oklahoma Man, Apache Woman, Five guns West . Monster Movies as Attack of the crab monsters, It conquered the world , Beast with a Million of Eyes, Viking Women and the sea Serpent , Frankenstein Unbound . Science Fiction as Gass, The man with X Ray eyes , Last Women on Earth . Youthful films as Carnival Rock, Rock at night , Sorority Girl, Teenage Doll. Mobster or Gangster movies as Bloody Mama, St Valentine Massacre, I Mobster , Machine Gun Kelly . But he especially shot Terror movies as The Undead, Tower of London, Haunted Palace , and Edgar Allan Poe saga as Fall of the Usher House, Tales of Terror, Raven, Terror, Pit and Pendulum , Tomb of Ligeia, Masque of Red Death , among others. Rating 6/10 . Acceptable and decent terror movie .
