Bees are great. \u00a0They pollinate plants and make honey. \u00a0They also inspired a whole genre of horror films and my daughter’s first Halloween costume.<\/p>\n

\nNot a killer bee…yet.<\/p>\n

Back to the subject, Kerry. \u00a0Right. \u00a0In THE DEADLY BEES, Suzanna Leigh’s British pop star needs a break after her grueling ‘making-sure-all-the-McVitie’s Digestives-are-facing-the-same-direction-in-the-green-room’ gig. \u00a0Her doctor advises her to head to placid Seagull Island and wear a hat. \u00a0Seagulls, you know. \u00a0Anyway, things couldn’t be better except for the pesky killer bees soaring overhead all the damn time. \u00a0Killer bees do as killer bees will and…well, they kill and junk. \u00a0It’s a load of laughs.<\/p>\n

\"laughs\"<\/a>
\n“I said laughs!”<\/p>\n

Amicus, the bastard brother of Hammer, produced this film and a gaggle of cool portmanteau films in the 60s and 70s. \u00a0The two production houses share a lot of the same actors and directors and both studios made some awesome horror and thriller movies during this era. \u00a0Freddie Francis directed the Robert Bloch-penned screenplay and it’s genuinely mysterious and scary. Also, bees!!!<\/p>\n

If you’d like to join our little band of ruffians to watch and opine on all things apian, please hit play at 11pm edt Friday, April 29, jump on Twitter, and tweet using the #BMovieManiacs<\/p>\n

Don’t worry. \u00a0We won’t sting.<\/p>\n

I wrote a more complete review for my blog too if you’re a bee fan (and who isn’t?). \u00a0THE DEADLY BEES<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the link to the film. \u00a0BZZZZ<\/a><\/p>\n
