Wasp Woman 2004 Horror Movie Review

...had a couple of hours to watch a horror flick

> last

> night.  Only problem is, “The Wasp Woman” had no

> stinger.  Let’s say it was a stinker.  The original

> classic was made in 1959.  This 1995 remake by Roger

> Corman is lower than low-budget.  Not only will it

> likely be available at the 99 cent store, but it

> The opening scene is almosy comedic.  A jogger is

> The audio is irritating (cell phones ring

> consistently

> in the background.  I must have reached for my phone

> at least a half dozen times). 

>

> The star is Jennifer Rubin, whose previous

> blockbuster

> performance was in “Plump Fiction”...that’s right

> “PLUMP” Fiction.  Get my drift? 

>

> While her performance gets a 3…on a scale of

> 10…the movie also gets a 1 for being somewhat

> entertaining…only because you want to hang in

> there

> and see how much cornier this disaster can get.

> Roger

> Corman should be ashamed for this DOG!  With no

> sting…there’s no buzz (as in bee…I mean wasp!).

>

> Avoid this.  Read the current issue of National

> Geographic if you’re starved for entertainment.
