Invasion of the Bee Girls

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* The people of this movie are not bright. You'd think they would notice the women who wear giant sunglasses day and night as something out of the ordinary. Where did these glasses come from? Not once does anyone mention how odd it seems that all the female scientists and the male scientists wives are wearing gigantic sunglasses. This was the clue people! "They'll love the very life out of your body!!" So the Bee Girls don't really invade since they are already there. They get transformed into Stepford Bee girls. Only this time not to be subservient to their men but to mate and mate until you croak. It sounds a lot better than it is. Ok, so it had naked breasts. There was a brief kiss between the bee babes. (Nice.). But overall it was pretty ho-hum. Also, the lighting was terrible! Many a good breast shot was ruined by placing the action in pitch dark. Lights! Dang it! We're missing the best part!

I'm on a tear of watching low budget 70s and 80s movies and came across this gem. It is listed by its alternate title "Graveyard Tramps" on Amazon, though that title really doesn't make sense. The basic premise is that women in a small town are having sex with the men that leaves them dead. You can see the details in other reviews. I found it highly entertaining. Much better than other films I've watched so far in this general style. Has a moderate amount of nudity but no genital nudity or explicit sex scenes. Too silly to really be scary and no graphic violence but obviously not appropriate for younger viewers.

The small town of Peckham is having a rash of men who died from sex...."coming and going at the same time" they joke. But is no laughing matter as Captain Peters (Cliff Osmond) with a Ron Jeremy mustache, investigates with a whack-a-da sound track. Okay, maybe it is camp enough to be a laughing matter...especially the classic love scene of a naked couple rolling down a hill. This was an era where the movie telephone number didn't have a "555" in it and TV stations signed off the air. Oh yes, not to give away a 40 year old plot, but the film was about gene splicing which was centuries away. Guide: No swearing. Sex, rape, nudity (Anitra Ford-"Price is Right" model, Julie Zorn, Sharon Kelly, Susan Player, Beverly Powers, Rene Bond, Anna Aries)

That's 10/10 if you like campy '70s schlock, 0/10 for everyone else. In this case, woman in a small California town are turning into queen bees and screwing their husbands to death! You read that right. Needless to say, there's everything that we expect in a campy '70s flick: big-breasted babes, men wearing ugly ties, and old-style computers. I gotta admit, I wouldn't mind mating with some of those bee girls! There are some hot ones there! Of course, in keeping with decency, I would have to avoid the old woman walking around in her bra and panties. I know, it makes me a chauvinist pig for liking a movie full of buxom women. Well, at least these women look like real people. All in all, a real treat for B-movie fetishists.
