Description

Evil corporations have smuggled a deadly strain of South American killer bees into the United States and now the entire world may be on the brink of imminent destruction! As cities tumble, body counts rise, and mass hysteria ensues, scientist John Norman (John Saxon) thinks he might have discovered the secret strategy to stop THE BEES!

Directed by Alfredo Zacarias (DEMONOID) and co-starring Angel Tompkins, John Carradine, and Claudio Brook, THE BEES is an epic disaster film and drive-in classic, chock full of outrageous action and jaw-dropping plot twists. Vinegar Syndrome brings THE BEES into your living room, newly restored in 2k in its previously unavailable Director's Cut, and guaranteed to give you stingingly good entertainment.

    NOT THE BEES

    Deep Blue Sea, but with super intelligent bees instead of sharks. That, plus John Saxon, make this basically the perfect film.

    Fun

    Not the greatest movie ever, but a fun one especially if you like older crazy sci-fi monster films. The special effects are dated and goofy but a part of the charm. Always great to see John Saxon in anything.
