Captain America: Civil War (2016) - #Movie #Review

The epic battle between two great heroes!
Ok, so I have been a huge fan of the MCU since the beginning... And well, technically before the MCU became the, 'Marvel Cinematic Universe', what with Eric Bana (Star Trek) was the, 'Hulk' and when Fox was still the main front runner producing movies based on Marvel heroes! 

With that said though, I have to admit that I was pretty disappointed with, Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015)... I saw it again recently and have to say that I am pretty pleased with it now, but back then it was pretty disappointing, but since, 'Ultron', I have to say that the movies just seem to be getting better and better again! 


This one does take some getting used to.
What I mean by this is that, Ant-Man (2015) was a return to classic form for the individual heroes, and besides being absolutely hilarious, is actually a pretty awesome film! And the next movie, and the reason for this review: Captain America: Civil War (2016) Is freaking amazing! 


Definitely ranks up there as one of the best of the MCU!
Written by: Christopher Markus (Captain America: The First Avenger), Stephen McFeely (Captain America: Winter Soldier) & Directed by: Anthony Russo (You, Me And Dupree), Joe Russo (Community). Starring: Chris Evans (Avengers: Age Of Ultron), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Lucy), Sebastian Stan (I'm Not Here), Anthony Mackie (Million Dollar Baby), Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanada) & Tom Holland (Locke). 


"Ok, Anybody on our side hiding any shocking, or fantastic abilities they'd like to disclose, I'm open to suggestions." - Iron Man/Tony Stark (A quote from the movie: Captain America: Civil War.) 

Ok, so first off what I am going to say, that I really enjoyed about this movie is the acting in this movie... I mean at this point, all of these guys have been at one time or another working together for the last 4 years, and you could tell how hard it was for them to have to split down the middle! 

Iron Man, Cap... Say it ain't so...
The next thing that I wanted to say that I really liked about this movie is the special FX, I mean it goes without saying that these movies have great special effects, but wholly cow! 

And then finally the story... This story is pretty awesome! What I mean by that is the fact that this story tells of how after a particularly disastrous mission, the worlds governments have decided to make the heroes register and come under the control of a world body (Basically like, 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' was before Hydra...) 


The disaster!
Anyway, this has the team divided on rather or not to actually sign them... 

At the signing accords, a ton of the worlds leaders are in attendance, when a bomb explodes disrupting the ceremony, and killing the Wakandan King!  It appears that the Winter Soldier (Played by: Sebastian Stan) came out of hiding, to do this... Or did he? 


Is Bucky still Bucky? Or is the, 'Winter Soldier' back? 
And now with the world on his tail, and some of the Avengers going after him as well, Bucky Barnes/Winter Solider will rely more on his old friend Captain America (Played by: Chris Evans) to not just protect him, but to also help him uncover who actually did it! 

And in doing so, may tear the team apart forever! 


Is this the end?
Great story right? Well the one thing I am going to say that I don't really like about this movie is that you can tell in the edges of the movie that the crew is starting to get a little lazy... (Watch Chris Evans closely and you will notice that at one point he has a slight gut, and is not muscular... And then it cuts immediately to him being ripped...) 

In the end though, this movie is pretty awesome and well worth watching! 



Star Wars - Episode 7: The Force Awakens (2015) - #Movie #Review

This one is a fun one!
Ok, so I am going to be honest and say that I was one of the handful of people who seems to have actually liked the prequel series... I mean Jar Jar Binks was incredibly irritating, but the rest of it... Well I thought it was pretty good... 

But I have to admit that I have really been looking forward to finally getting in to the future of the Star Wars universe... and that is why I am glad to have seen, Star Wars - Episode 7: The Force Awakens (2015)! 


A great movie, and a fantastic poster! 
Written by: Lawrence Kasdan (Kin), Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3) & J.J. Abrams (Star Trek). Starring: Harrison Ford (Raiders Of The Lost Ark), Mark Hamill (Batman: The Animated Series), Carrie Fisher (Family Guy), Adam Driver (The Simpsons), Daisy Ridley (Lifesaver), John Boyega (Attack The Block) & Andy Serkis (Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes). 
"This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in 14 par secs?" - Rey (Daisy Ridley: A quote from: Star Wars - Episode 8: The Force Awakens.
Ok... So I am going to say it.... This movie is basically a decent movie... I mean the story is pretty alright (except for the fact that it is fairly un-original...) Ok, so what I mean by this is this... Ok... So basically this movie takes place about 20 years after, 'Return Of The Jedi'... 

The Universe is now a very different place... The Empire is gone... Replaced by, 'The First Order'... And even though they aren't as big as the, 'Old Republic,' the, 'New Republic' is working on it... 

During this time, Storm Troopers are basically no longer recruited, but born in to service, and then kept drugged up to keep them there! And instead of Darth Vader bringing fear to the Galaxy, it is, 'Kylo Ren' (Played by: Adam Driver) 


Kylo Ren and his shrine to Darth Vader...
Now after a massacre on a world, one of the Storm Troopers gets out of their power and decides to escape... And with the help of a crafty girl who salvages stuff on a back water planet... And with the help of the people who helped end the reign of tyranny of the Emperor, will now work together to stop the next big plot from the Empire's successor! 

Ok so plus points... 

1. Awesome cast and getting to see the characters that made this series... Was awesome! 

2. The special effects are amazing! 

3. And for what it is, the story is alright. 

Now for the main minus point... This movie is fairly unoriginal... It is like J.J. Abrams decided to take the best of the original series (which was basically everything,) and then threw a few little perks in there... 

Don't let that discourage you though... It is a fun one that is worth checking out! 

Child's Play 2 (1990) - #Movie #Review

Child's Play 2... A fantastic film!
Ok, so I am going to admit that most of the Child's Play franchise after part 3 really seems to have lost something... Because it seems like progressively that movie franchise seemed to get worse and worse! But hot damn if the movies from 3 till before weren't really freaking awesome! 

And why is that you ask? Well simply put, I think the whole concept of a dead killer trying to escape from the doll he had thought he was only going to be staying in temporarily is pretty freaking awesome! I also really do think that Alex Vincent (Child's Play), really did a magnificent job as, 'Andy' and then part 3... Well we will get in to that later! For this one, let's talk Child's Play 2 (1990)! 


A great poster!
Written by: Don Mancini (Hannibal) & Directed by: John Lafia (10.5). Starring: Alex Vincent, Jenny Agutter (Logan's Run), Gerrit Graham (Cove Road), Christine Elise (Body Snatchers) and Grace Zabriske (The Grudge). 

This movie tells the story of how after the events of the first movie, Andy's mom has lost it and has been sent away, and Andy (Played by: Alex Vincent), has never been the same and has been sent to live with a foster family... But Alex's friend till the end is not quite finish with him! 

You see, the toy company that made the original, 'Good Guy' dolls decides to go ahead and remake, 'Chucky' from scratch... Is Chucky dead, or does Alex's friend to the end want to play one last game? 


It looks like Chucky is wants to play with his friend, 'to the end'! 
In the end, I have to say that this movie is my favorite of the series... I liked the story, the special effects were pretty freaking awesome, and most of the cast I think did a pretty amazing job, (except the foster parents... I have to be honest and say I was pretty indifferent to them dying... But the rest... Well I was rooting for the bad guys to die and the good guys to live!) 

If you haven't had a chance to check this one out yet, then, I do highly recommend it! 


Predator (1987) - #Movie #Review

A fantastic classic!
Ok, so before Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) became the, 'Governator' he was this huge actions/sci-fi star that had a ton of great movies that he released between the early 1980s, and roughly the mid 2000, (He has been in some good movies lately, but nothing like the movies that came out before his tenure as the, 'Governator'!)

With that said, there are a couple of movie series that he sort of technically helped to begin that are still running to this day, one of them being, 'The Terminator' (A series that he recently returned to,) 'Conan: The Barbarian' (A series that is about to be brought back to life,) and, 'Predator' (A series that may not have seen him back in since the beginning, but still a great series!)

And we will get in to, 'Terminator', but the one that I wanted to discuss today that I think actually is a pretty awesome movie is, Predator (1987)!
A great poster!
Written by:: Jim Thomas (Mission To Mars), John Thomas (Batman: Dead End) and Directed by: John McTiernan (Die Hard). Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers (Rocky), Elpidia Carrillo (Solaris), Bill Duke (Battledogs), Jesse Ventura (The Running Man), Sonny Landham (Mental Scarls) & Richard Chaves (War Of The Worlds).
"You're one... 'ugly' motherfucker!" - Dutch (A quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger from, Predator (1987)!)
Now one of the great things about this movie is it's timeless story, you see this movies tells the story of Dutch (Schwarzenegger) and a group of soldiers who are sent in to the central American jungle on a rescue mission, when they end up encountering more the they bargain for!
Dutch and his team...
You see, they had been sent out on what they believed was going to be a rescue mission, but in this case what they literally, 'don't know' is definitely going to kill them, when these highly trained hunter/killers, become the prey for an unseen warrior!

In the end, this is one trip in to the jungle that these fearless warriors are never going to forget!

Now as far as this movie goes, I have to say that it is timeless... I mean seriously, if you want a fantastic man vs. alien film, you really can't get much better then this... I mean even the few plot holes that are in this movie don't detract from how awesome it is!

Movie Of The Half: Superman (1978)!

Not strictly a, 'Thanksgiving movie' per-se... I thought that I would go for the more tradition route for this Thanksgiving, and recommend a fan favorite... Something that is as American as, 'mom', 'apple pie,' and all the other iconic stuff that makes America great... 

I thought that I would recommend: Superman (1978)!
Truly a fantastic film! 
For those few out there that haven't heard of the movie: Essentially Superman tells the story of an Alien (who looks human,) who is sent to Earth from his dying planet, and grows up to fight crime as the worlds first super hero, for truth, justice and the American way! 

For more information on this movie, check out the trailer for: Superman (1978)!

Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988) - Movie Review

The changing of the guard?
Good news folks! Halloween is just around the corner... Are you excited? I know I am, and one of the things that I look forward to doing every year (at least till they run out,) is doing a review for one of the, 'Halloween' movies!

I mean let's be honest folks, these movies really do symbolize the haunting awesomeness that makes doing a horror movie marathon so awesome!

Wit that said, the next movie that I am doing in this lot is: Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)!


A killer movie, that ushered in one of the great scream queens!
Directed by: Dwight H. Little (Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid), and starring: Danielle Harris (Halloween), Ellie Cornell (House Of The Dead), Donald Pleasence (Halloween 2), George P. Wilbur (Die Hard), Beau Starr (Goodfellas), Kathleen Kinmont (Bride Of Re-Animator) & Sasha Jenson (Buffy The Vampire Slayer).

Now before I continue on with the story, I should say this, when John Carpenter tried to take the Halloween series back to where he had originally wanted it to be (basically as an anthology series of movies with different stories,) and made Halloween 3: Season Of The Witches (1982) as it's own independent movie completely separate from the original story line... Well that concept pretty much didn't work, and so the studios brought us back to, 'Haddonfield', with Halloween: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)!

"Why now? You waited ten years. I knew this day would come. Don't go to Haddonfield, If you want another victim, take me. But leave those people in peace. Please, Michael?" - Dr. Sam Loomis to Michael Myers (a quote from Donald Pleasence in, Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)!)
It looks like is niece is not to happy to see her uncle!

As for the story, this movie takes place about ten years after that fateful Halloween night of 1978... Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur) is in a coma, the scarred Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) has never really gotten over it, and Laurie Strode is dead... And the rest of the town has begun to forget about it... Including Laurie's daughter, 'Jamie Lloyd' (Daniel Harris), who seems to know nothing about it!

All seems to be quiet, eh?

Well when a team is sent in to bring the slumbering giant mass murderer, he learns something new about the family he likes to visit on Halloween... And that is that he has a niece living in his home town!

This of course wakes ole Mickey up, and takes out his jailers, and heads home to, 'meet' his young niece...

And as for the new family that Jamie is living with... Well they are about to discover the deadly secret of her family when they meet her uncle, and he tries to take them all out!


Jamie's new family after meeting Jamie's old family!
In the end, this movie I am gonna say is not quiet as good as the classic movie that John Carpenter (Halloween) made, but considering how young Danielle Harris was in this movie, she did an absolutely brilliant job portraying Jamie, and Ellie Cornell... Lets just put it this way, after seeing this movie and the element of scary realism that those two put in to this film... Well... Danielle Harris became my favorite actress after this, and when ever I get the chance, I do try to find any Ellie Cornell movie that I can, because she is just fantastic!


Two great actresses, that really brought this series 
And as for everyone else... Well lets just put it this way, they did a brilliant job!

And the story... Awesome! The only things I didn't like about this movie are as follows:

1. There are a ton of retconned story lines in this franchise, and when I found out that Laurie Strode was still alive, and faked her death so that she could go and live in California... Well let's just put it this way, it kind of destroyed a little bit of both story lines for the Jamie Lloyd Halloween films, and original series as well...

2. The last thing that I am I going to have to say that I really didn't like about this movie is the mask... I know it is a dumb thing, but this one in my opinion is the worst of the entire batch of movies!

Anyway, if you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out... It is a good, one and well worth it! I thought so, and I suspect you will to!

Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) - Movie Review

Art from: Avengers: Age Of Ultron!
One thing that I have noticed as time has gone on, that it seems like most production houses generally tend to require that their sequels be bigger, more explosions, more A-list actors, etc... That is a huge mistake!

The reason being is, like the old saying goes... "Bigger is not always better"... And that saying is still true today! What I mean by this in relation to sequels, is that something is always lost in the story line!

Marvel seems to almost always do this for some reason... For example: Iron Man (2008) was a fantastic movie that really helped jump start the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe,) but, Iron Man 2 (2010)... There was bigger special effects, and a bigger cast... But something was lost in the story, and ended up making the movie suck... Fortunately they made up for that in a major way with, Iron Man 3 (2013)!

Iron Man 2... A dud, only made right by, 'Iron Man 3'! 
And unfortunately a lot of that is the reason, Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) was still fun... But not as good as the original Avengers was!

Written by: Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), and Directed by: Joss Whedon. Starring: Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Scarlett Johansson (Lucy), Mark Ruffalo (Shutter Island), Jeremy Renner (Dahmer) & James Spader (Stargate).


"If he can wield the Hammer, he can keep the Stone." - Thor (Chris Hemsworth - A quote from: Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015).) 


This movie tells the story of how a more formed Avengers team, having reformed up after the battle of New York from the first movie are setting high on their laurels... S.H.I.E.L.D. maybe mostly gone, and Nick Fury maybe retired, but under Tony Stark (Played by: Robert Downey Jr.), the team (being aided by a group of robotic, 'Iron Men') are really kicking butt!

The Avengers kicking Hydra's butt! 
Well something interesting has happened... You see, after a grueling fight, in which the team had gone to war with Hydra, in an effort to reacquire Loki's scepter, Tony Stark (Played by: Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Played by: Mark Ruffalo,) are working on creating a new AI (when will they ever learn... Am I right?)

Anyway, this AI (which goes by the name of, 'Ultron' (Voiced by: James Spader)) ends up coming online and decides his programming in an effort to help the planet, is to eradicate mankind and start fresh!

So Ultron ends up taking over the Iron Men that Tony Stark had created, and as Ultron begins to build up his forces, it will be up to the Avengers to assemble again in an effort to save the world from a threat that one of their own created!

Ultron as he begins life as a broken, 'Iron Legion' unit! 
In the end, the truth is, is this movie is fun... Despite the frustrating over indulgence in to the special effects and what not and some of the loss in story line/quality of story... This movie does have some amazing battle scenes, and fun story arcs...

The other problems that I had with this movie is the fact that Black Widow and Bruce Banner keep whining about there stupid romance, and it seems like almost threatening the audience to run away together at the end of the world!

The last thing that I have to say is that having Quicksilver (Played by: Anthony Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Played by: Elizabeth Olsen) in this movie is wrong, for many reasons that fans of the comics will understand... But as for the movies... Well... I mean Quicksilver is already a part of the X-Men franchise and is played by some one else in that series!

I guess what I am saying is that it is certainly worth watching, but is just not as good as the first one!

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) - Movie Review

The end of the world may have occurred... But it doesn't mean that Men & Apes will be happy with each other!
When Mark Wahlberg's remake of the original Charlton Heston (Soylent Green) first came out... I have to say that I was fairly unimpressed with the way the movie ended up working out... I mean I was fairly certain about what they had intended to do with it... But... Just seriously unimpressed!

But when James Franco (Spider-Man) released, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2012)... Forget about it! This movie was impressive for a bunch of reasons that I will go in to in a later post... But as for: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014)...


Written by: Mark Bomback (Total Recall), Rick Jaffa (The Relic), Amanda Silver (The Hand That Rocked The Cradle) & Directed by: Matt Reeves (Let Me In). Starring: Andy Serkis (The Prestige), Jason Clarke (Lawless), Gary Oldman (Bram Stokers: Dracula) & Keri Russell (The Americans).

The movie poster for: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014)!

"Apes not kill apes."

- Koba (A quote from: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes)

This movie tells the story of how a decade after a pandemic has destroyed most of mankind, the survivors of both mankind and Apes are living in their own separate colonies in peace (because they mostly don't know how close they actually are to each other...)

Ape may not kill Ape, but Ape may soon kill man...
But when the humans start working on powering up their colony, they decide to use an old hydro-electric power plant that happens to be in Ape territory... And when the two races discover each other, it will take the best males of both species to come together and work things out, before they end up in a genocidal war that will wipe out the last hope of intelligence on the planet!

In the end... This movie is just awesome, and if you are in to these types of films, then check this one out... It is well worth it!

The Core (2003) - Movie Review

These intrepid souls will travel to the Earth's core to save the planet!
The first time I saw Aaron Eckhart (Battle: Los Angeles), I saw him play the role of Harvey Dent/2 Face in Christopher Nolan's, The Dark Knight (2008), and I have to admit that I was impressed... Not just with the caliber of movie, but also with his performance in the movie as well!

Since then though, he has continued to give pretty solid performances in just about everything that I have seen him in, the only problem is that the movies that he has done, just have not quite cut the mustard...

Now you might be wondering why I am mentioning this, well... That is because, The Core (2003), is another one of those movies that he has done, that was good... But not quite good enough... But we will get in to that in a minute.

The movie poster for: The Core (2003). 
Written by: Cooper Layne (The Fog) & John Rogers (Transformers), Directed by: Jon Amiel (Copycat). Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank (Terror In The Family), Delroy Lindo (The Big Bang), Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games), DJ Qualls (Z Nation), Richard Jenkins (The Cabin In The Woods), Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek), Tchéky Karyo (Vampire Party) & Alfre Woodard (Star Trek: First Contact).
"Why do you get dibs on being the hero?"

- Dr. Josh Keyes (A quote from the movie: The Core.)
This movie tells the story of how when planet Earth stops it's rotation, mankind becomes doomed due to the effects of the Earth no longer rotating... Discovering this is Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), a brilliant college professor, who ends up taking his findings to the arrogant, yet brilliant Dr. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci)... Of course the good Doctor dismisses Keyes findings, that is of course until he discovers something from his own work...

Now along with the help of General Thomas Purcell (Richard Jenkins), Commander Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood), Major Rebecca Childs (Hilary Swank) and a team of scientists, Dr. Keyes will lead a team of scientists in a ship designed by Dr. Ed Brazzleton (Delroy Lindo) to the Earth's core in the hopes of restarting the Earth's rotation, and save humanity!

This team will prepare for the mission of a life time, as they try to save humanity!
In the end, this movie had great special effects, and a great story line, but the ending... While having some good elements, also kind of really sucked!

What I mean by this, is that I don't know if it was the writing that failed or the actors, but one right after the other, everybody just began to suck! Down to cliche's being spouted left and right, Aaron Eckhart taking a scene out of early 90s teen comedies, and Hilary Swank seeming to all of a sudden becoming dazed and confused through most of the rest of the movie... Well it just made the ending suck!

But the rest of the movie is really quite good, and worth checking out!

Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) - Movie Review

Official Score = 4 Devils
Official Score = 4 Devils
So far I have to say that I am pretty impressed with what Marvel has been doing in it's continuous creation of mega-box office smash hits from the comics that helped bring Marvel in to the world of popularity!

Let's take, The Avengers (2012), besides the fact that this movie is the culmination of a lot of the truly fantastic Marvel Super Hero franchises that have come out in the new millennium, (including: Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor & Captain America,) this movie has helped catapult these stars and their respective independent movie series in to the stratosphere!

And you know what? Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) is another ultra successful notch in Marvel's prolific collection of mega hits!

The movie poster for: Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014).
Written by: Nicole Perlman (Thor), James Gunn (Dawn Of The Dead) & Directed by: James Gunn. Starring: Chris Pratt (Jurassic World), Zoe Saldana (Star Trek), Dave Bautista (Riddick), Vin Diesel (The Last Witch Hunter), Bradley Cooper (American Sniper), Michael Rooker (Slither), Karen Gillan (Doctor Who), Glenn Close (Mars Attacks!).
"Well he don't know talkin' good like me and you, so his vocabulistics is limited to "I" and "am" and "Groot," exclusively in that order."

- Rocket Raccoon (A quote from: Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014))
Now this awesome tale, tells the story of how an intergalactic thief, (and the only human traveling in outer space), Peter Quill (Chris Pratt steals a rare precious orb for a privateer who intends to sell it... The only thing is that, 'Ronan: The Accuser' (Lee Pace), who also happens to be working for a secret benefactor, (who has a dark desire to acquire it,) also is trying to get it as well!

During this time, Peter ends up being imprisoned with, 'Rocket Raccoon' (Bradley Cooper), Groot (Vin Diesel), (Both of whom had helped get Peter arrested on Nova Prime,) Gamora (Zoe Saldana) & Drax: The Destroyer (Dave Bautista)...  Initially they escape with the intention of selling the orb.

The Guardians Of The Galaxy... Their first mission... Escape from prison!
But when they find out what the orb is, and with the impending danger to the Nova Empire, they make themselves 'The Guardians Of The Galaxy', and decide to deliver the orb to the heart of the Nova Empire, and stop Ronan: The Accuser before he can deliver it to his master!

Now I will be honest and say that when I first heard of this movie I had not held out much hope for it... Don't get me wrong, I knew it would be good, I just didn't know how good! I mean everything about this movie was so well done, that I can totally see why this became one of the highest grossing movies of 2014!



The Deadly Bees (1966) - Movie Review

Official Score = 3 Devils
Official Score = 3 Devils
Ok, so I have to be honest and say that it has been a while since I have seen a truly great 'B' horror movie, and then went on to review about it for the site... And so I scoured my movie library, netflix, and all the other streamable sites (Amazon and the like,) and there is one that I thought would work well... And well, I found one that was not great, but I will be honest, was pretty good!

That movie being, The Deadly Bees (1966).

The movie poster for: The Deadly Bee (1966).

Written by: Robert Bloch (Psycho), Anthony Marriott (Public Eye) & Directed by: Freddie Francis (Dune). Starring: Suzanna Leigh (Lust For A Vampire), Frank Finlay (Lifeforce), Guy Doleman (On The Beach), Catherine Finn (Torture Garden) & Tim Barrett (The Mummy's Shroud.)
"Well, he didn't want to destroy my bees. He wanted to destroy me!"

- H.W. Manfred (A quote from: The Deadly Bees (1966).)
The Deadly Bees tells the story of how an exhausted lead singer for a British pop band, by the name of, 'Vicki Robbins' (Suzanna Leigh) decides after fainting while in the middle of a set, to take some time off and spend it in the country with some friends of her Doctor...

Vicki Robbins is about to embark on an adventure that she will never forget... And to think... She went in for a rest!
Now at first everything seems to be all good at the farm... I mean the wife is a little neurotic, and the husband has a temper, but they seem like nice enough folks... And she truly does seem to be getting better all of the time... That is until she met H.W. Manfred (Frank Finaly) of course!

You see, both Finlay and the husband of the family she is staying with are both in to, 'Bee Farming'... But one of them has a deadly secret about there, 'killer bees', and in this movie, the bees maybe the killer... But you will never guess who the murderer is!

I know... I know, I make this sound like a, 'mystery', but in all truth, this movie truly is a fun British, B, 'horror' movie, and despite the fact that the first 10 or 15 minutes are kind of useless, the rest of the movie explodes, and the deeper in to it you get, the better it is!
