Invasion of the Bee Girls Movie Review

Early in their television career, critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert declared this to be one of their favorite “guilty pleasures” and its reputation was set. Add in the presence of Playmate Victoria Vetri, who has a dedicated following of her own, Anitra “Big Bird Cage” Ford, and a gloriously wacky plot involving the “Queen Bee” and her conquests, and you've got prime Bee-movie camp fun. The murky audio sounds as if it were coming from a drive-in speaker, which ideally is the best way to experience this compellingly quirky and perversely comic thriller. Written by Nicholas Meyer, who later directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. AKA: Graveyard Tramps.
