In the "so bad it's good" sweepstakes, this "Wasp Woman" remake is a strong contender. First off the acting is all over the map, but Jennifer Rubin and Geritt Graham, are totally acceptable. More good news the movie has some real "eye candy" and nudity, which always helps toward "cult status". The wasp creature with breasts certainly qualifies as one of the most bizarre rubber suit monsters ever. We even have a real cave setting for some added wasp fun. Sure the few C.G.I. images are antiques, but the film has an actual story that holds things together, rather that the C.G.I. extravaganzas trucked out today. As a throwback to the old time monster movies, "Wasp Woman" succeeds. - MERK

The Wasp Woman (1995) was a made-for-cable version of the original 1960 classic B-movie. Well, this was made for pay cable but the film-makers didn't focus enough on the adult aspect of the story-line. Instead they tried to make a cheesy sci-fi/horror film with enough glad handing and back slapping to make this one unenjoyable. This remake was a lot better than the one made several years before, but it still is missing something. I mean you have a decent director Jim Wynorski and an attractive lead actress, plus the theme of the film. I don't know. Maybe I was hoping too much for an actual movie that delivers the goods. Well, it was a decent made-for-cable-t.v. movie. But it could have been so much better. Believe me it could have. Who knows, maybe three times the charm!Slightly recommended.

The Wasp Woman (1995)I was up late one night, and The Wasp Woman was on TV. It was from Roger Corman, so I thought why not. It wasn't exactly a waste of time, and was entertaining. It is about a lady who is beginning to get to old to model for her skincare company, so she resorts to Dr. Zinthorp, who has a creation made of wasp DNA that reverses the aging process. She tests it on herself, and it begins to have some crazy side effects. The monster effects are cheesy and cheap, but it isn't too bad of a movie. I give it a 7 out of 10.

An aging model/cosmetics executive (Jennifer Rubin) finds a way to reverse the aging process through an experimental wasp drug, but it has deadly consequences as she morphes from time to time into a giant man eating wasp.
Much better then you would expect remake of the original Roger Corman camp classic, though this remake is dead serious. It features a very appealing turn by Jennifer Rubin, and actually focuses more on characterization then cheap scares (even though it does have its share of them). However, the film does feature poor monster effects.Rated R; Nudity, Violence, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.
