The Wasp Woman 1960Director: Roger Corman Starring: A nutty scientist develops a youth serum from the royal jelly of wasps. It seems to work great on animals but hasn't been tried on a human subject. He begins working at a cosmetics company where the aging female owner offers to become the human guinea pig. She begins getting injections and through the magic of make up, a new hair-do and scrapping the ugly glasses, she actually gets younger right before our very eyes. However, things just aren't moving along at quite the pace she had hoped for so she sneaks into the lab at night and secretly begins injecting more of the stuff. She runs into a few side effects like changing into a monsterous wasp woman that kills people. A super cheapie from good old Roger Corman. Don't expect much
from the monster. It's just a woman running around with a mask
on, and not a very good mask at that. It's not a good movie
but it's worth a look for it's curiousity value.
