The head of a major cosmetics company experiments on herself with a youth formula made from royal jelly extracted from wasps, but the formula's side effects have deadly consequences.
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
