The Wasp Woman

CriticsCritics: 50
AudienceAudience: 4.9

In this classic horror sci-fi movie, a woman transforms into a monstrous wasp-like creature after using a youth formula made from queen wasp jelly. The film explores themes of vanity, beauty, and the unforeseen consequences of scientific experimentation.

My take

A campy creature feature that leans into B-movie charm and delicious body horror. Perfect if you want something that's genuinely unsettling but never takes itself too seriously—vintage sci-fi paranoia wrapped in practical effects and pulpy fun.
