The SFX are so bad it goes beyond charming but they’re only present for like 5 minutes so it doesn’t matter. The rest of the film is actually pretty good or at least was better than I was expecting. Has an ace plot, though similar to The Fly admittedly, but not so similar it copies. My first Corman 2.5/5

This Queen plans to stay young.

The Wasp Woman is directed by Jack Hill and Roger Corman and written by Leo Gordon and Kinta Zertuche. A Roger Corman production, it stars Susan Cabot, Anthony Eisley, Michael Mark and Barboura Morris. Music is by Fred Katz and photography by Harry Neumann.

Janice Starlin (Cabot) is the owner of a large cosmetics company, once a successful operation, the company is starting to lose customers who can see that Starlin is beginning to show her aged years.
