Shane Watches a Bad Movie with Friends on Facebook: Invasion of the Bee Girls

1973 erotic sci-fi thriller

Rating: 6/20 (Carrie: 5/20; Fred: 3/20; Bryan: 2/20; Libby: 6/20; Ratboy: didn't finish)

Plot: Women are being turned into the titular insect women who lure men into the sack and kill them by sexing them to death. A boring guy investigates.

Anitra Ford is the queen bee girl, so the whole thing has that going for it. My Facebook pals didn't appreciate this one, not even as a good-bad movie, nearly as much as I did. The main gripe was the plot which was pretty straightforward, but the big clue that led the guy to cracking the case--a random mention of the idiom "dropping like flies"--was just about the most ridiculous deux ex machina you'll ever see. There's a fair share of nudity for the pervy crowd, an audience who would get a kick out of the lengthy bee-transformation process that involves melted marshmallow, boobs, and blinking lights. This is cheap and sleazy with a cute librarian and creepy insect-eye effects, and despite terrible pacing and a dopey story, I kind of liked it and would recommend it to bad movie fans. Or fans of The Price Is Right.
