Anthony F @Anthony999 16h Even if you love 50’s schlock horror (as I do) there is nothing to recommend in this excruciatingly boring slog fest which features mostly leftover stock footage from the 1939 film Stanley and Livingston consisting of repetitive safari scenes. The cast, headed by later "Dallas" bad Jim Davis is completely unconvincing. Skip this and re-watch "Them!" for the the 10th time. See more Matt R @RT34189340 03/22/2025 "NIGHTMARE THRILLS BEYOND BELIEF!" ... well, not exactly. If you watch this one in the context of the time in which it came out, it's an enjoyable yet uneven experience. The moviemakers made the most of stock footage and 1939's "Stanley and Livingstone". The MONSTER special effects are brief but fun too. See more MikesWorld T @RT90555140 08/05/2024 4.8/5 I loved the music by Albert Glasser, Stop motion Wasps, The Actors, Setting and Action. All though they shouldn't of shown the wasp 8 mins into the movie. they should of just shown footage of everyone running and with the buzzing. In fact they shouldn't of told you about wasps 4 mins into the movie. See more 02/13/2020 It's true. This is bad. Still, some worth in spending 71 minutes of your life...the giant wasp is excellent schlock, coupled with stock footage of African animals, natives, blended with inane banter. Just a caution to us all - don't send wasps up in a rocket, and somehow expose to radiation... See more 12/28/2018 Low-budget sci-fi adventure from the 1950's. See more 09/06/2017 A disastrously bad 1950's B Grade Movie about gigantic wasps that have taken over the Green Hell Forest in Africa. The film starts well but really trails off fast, with much use of stock African Landscape Footage. Acting is ridiculous & so is the plot, however the giant wasps are a great laugh. I warn you it's bad this one! See more Read all reviews
