Fun!
BandSAboutMovies8 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Filmed in less than 2 weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic, Angry Asian Murder Hornets has just one more way that last year could have been the worst in our lifetime: yes, murder hornets getting into Chinese nuclear product.

The thing I loved best about this movie was that the first five minutes feel like a B-roll filled nature reality show all about these bugs which don't really exist. I mean, murder hornets sound bad. Angry murder hornets are even worse.

Asian, well, I guess at least we know where they're from.

Director Dustin Ferguson seems to make a movie every time he wakes up, but you have to give the guy points for being prolific and having a hefty sense of fun in the movies that he makes. Also, it's kind of interesting that his movies seem to be 70s grindhouse movies upcycled to 80s video rental movies that have 90s and 00s soundtracks, what with the We're Wolves cover of "Break Stuff" that plays when an angry murder hornet buzzes by, much less the second cover, this time "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" over the closing credits.

He's also pretty good at being meta, bouncing the film from location to location, often using cable news and a horror hostess, Malvolia The Queen of Screams, to keep things jumping.

By the time you've read this review, Dustin has made three more movies. One of them is Ebola Rex Versus Murder Hornets, which I really want to see. I kid - I watch just about everything the guy makes! You should too.

Lets go to the Drive in...

Fun Film here. Doesn't take itself to seriously. Bees and more hungry Bees attacking human flesh. Great cast of Actors with Sheri Davis stealing the film in a hilarious cameo. Hard to take your eyes off her....But the Bees do it. Actress Geovonna Casanova in another Solid performance. Actor Tino Zamora playing as the heavy once again. These two are to be watched... Had a ball watching this throwback to the Drive in era film. Director Dustin Ferguson delivers the BEE movie goods once again...

Fun throwback monster movie
kannibalcorpsegrinder23 June 2020
Living in various parts of the world, a disparate group of people in the community find themselves under attack by a mutated strand of murder hornets killing off anything they come into contact with and must collectively find a way of stopping the deadly creatures.

This was a thrilling and fun throwback monster movie. That this opens up with a fantastically cheesy prologue about the creatures and their existence, giving full details to their anatomy, predatory qualifications and a reason as to why they're about to go on a murderous rampage, sets the stage perfectly. Detailing how they're great killing machines and what could potentially occur when they come into contact with people is a fine and appropriate setup to this type of film, especially with the series of topical ties given in the setup involving how the creatures turn around to start attacking people. Those scenes featuring the creatures coming into contact and killing victims are cheesy good fun as well. Since they tend to appear as a massive warm suddenly while attacking, the ambush-like attacks on the movie collector, the swarming of the fleeing citizens in the park or the attack on the live-streaming social media guru come off incredibly fun as the creatures swoop in and attack. Given the nature of its background and history, these are evocative of those old-school series by offering the creatures attacking and overwhelming victims which is always a delight to watch. Featuring some cheesy gore and kills in these scenes, there are some entertaining elements present. While there isn't much, the film does have a couple of minor problems. Its biggest issue is the obvious tricks done to pad out the running time, which tends to feature any of the scenes where a character walks somewhere. It feels like the entire trek there is shown where everything is captured of the individual walking around while suspenseful music plays even though nothing happens. It occurs several times and is quite obvious of the tactic. The other issue present here is the obvious and laughable CGI present on the creatures which fall into every predictable and commonly utilized flaw out there. These are what hold it back although they're not that detrimental.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
