Deadly Invasion The Killer Bee Nightmare
And so bad, information technology's hysterical!
scs0 27 September 2001
This movie was so bad that it was really funny. Here are some examples:
ane) Fearing being stung to death, the family continues wearing loose and unbuttoned clothing for unknown reasons.
2) The male parent bundles up with layer later layer of habiliment to run to the Jeep and bulldoze for aid. He walks out onto the porch and gain to stand up and swat the bees (that tin can no longer sting him) for at to the lowest degree a minute.
3) The jeep won't start! The reason? The bees were in the air filter!
four) The son is in the attic and spraying the bees down with a hose that his friend is feeding him. The son is pumping gallon afterward gallon of h2o into the cranium. Since he was standing on the wet drywall instead of the wooden joists, he falls through the floor into a "locked" room. His friend, instead of opening the door, trembles in fearfulness and the son never even yells for him to open the door.
5) The reason he was "locked" in the room? Before the male parent pushed a towel underneath the door from the hallway. If that's not bad enough, the door opens into the bedroom, not the hallway.
vi) After abandoning the firm through an underground passage, the male parent nearly takes the head off one of the other people with an axe.
These people were then stupid that a pervious script probably had them setting the house on fire while they were nonetheless within to kill the bees. Seriously, if y'all dear to yell at idiots on Television receiver then watch this motion picture at any cost! You'll have a boom yelling at these fools!

Can they bee any lamer?
Usually when you put killer bees in your moving-picture show, y'all really permit them kill someone and not just wing around beingness stopped by sweaters and sheets of newspaper. Anyway, some subcontract is beingness infested with bees and some guy tries to terminate them with a gun. For some mysterious reason, this doesn't work and the bees caput for a random house to cause well, cipher really.
You lot know, I don't see how these bees tin can even exist called killer bees. When you're locked in a room surrounded by thousands of these things, I'd say dying is the least you tin can do. Hell, fifty-fifty regular bees could mess you upward good in that state of affairs. Just no, as long as you can motion your arm similar a moron yous'll ever be safe. They can't even kill a little daughter who is ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS! Laziest damn bees I've ever seen. Very boring flick.

Not good.
Warning: Spoilers
Mortiferous Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare is gear up in the modest Californian town of Blossom Meadows where Chad (Robert Hays) & Karen Ingram (Nancy Stafford) forth with their three children have recently moved to after ownership a local farmhouse & apple orchard. Also moving into Blossom Meadows are far more unwelcome African killer Bees that are sweeping across the Usa, although essentially the same as the mutual European Bee they are much, much more aggressive & set on in thousands. Chad before long realises that the primary nest is in his apple orchard & subsequently local teenage idiot Tom Redman (Ryan Phillippe) shoots it with a shotgun the killer Bees get very upset & attack the nearby farmhouse where the Ingram family unit barricade themselves in equally the killer Bees swarm outside trying to get in & sting anybody to expiry...
Co-written & directed by Rockne S. O'Bannon this is notwithstanding another nature runs amok tale consummate with some flavour of the month environmental bulletin. The flick opens with some outdated (since this was made in 1995 outdated by almost xv years) text most the advance of the African killer Bee beyond the US & that 'this COULD be a true story' although because the post-obit eighty odd minutes on reflection that'southward a real LOL moment. Killer Bee films are rarely any adept, I point you towards efforts such as Bees (1998) & Killer Bees! (2002) although there are 1 or two good ones around such every bit The Mortiferous Bees (1967) & The Barbarous Bees (1976). Unfortunately Mortiferous Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare is one of the crap ones, the pace is boring, the plot is stupid even for a pic about killer Bees & the Bees are quite passive hither & not every bit scary or threatening as they should exist(due east). I but see these Bees which are presented as they are in reality (no mutations or genetic experiments gone wrong) as no real threat & I don't understand why they would surround a house & so spend all dark trying to impale the people within, there's no explanation for information technology other than they are killer Bees. Some of the plot doesn't make whatever sense like the mode these Bees manage to disable the phone lines, how did they manage that exactly? In that location'southward a shot of them itch over the telephone line but non 'doing' anything to information technology that would account for the phones going expressionless. Besides when the Bees do get within the house they don't really assault anyone within anyhow so what's the point?
This is basically an isolated location cutting off from culture with stranded human beings trying to survive some sort of creature or threat type motion picture with little in the way of a credible threat. The motion-picture show is slow & the kickoff 3 quarters of the film is very talky with lots of very forced speeches almost Bees & killer Bees by all sorts of Bee experts & Government officials, who would accept thought the ordinary Bee could be so dull! At i point some Bee expert giving some Bee speech says that Bees are prepared to die to defend themselves since when they sting something they die but that got me thinking do Bees actually know that they volition dice if they use their stings? I wouldn't have thought and then, why would they know? If they did know would they really sting something? Who knows but it'south a more than interesting topic than this picture show. Bees are not really scary & this film isn't scary either & it'due south all rather tedious predictable stuff.
Made-for-boob tube this looks pretty cheap although it'southward reasonably well fabricated, there's no CGI piece of work or special effects. The about notable thing nigh this film is that it was one of Ryan Phillippe's earliest roles & he has since gone to bigger & improve things in Hollywood.
Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare is a pretty poor killer Bee picture show that tries to stick to reality in the way information technology presents it'due south Bees which just doesn't work at all, a really boring moving ho-hum made-for-telly 'Creature Feature' that has no redeeming features that I could see.

There are non many things you could do to make this movie worse
In that location are not many things you could do to make this motion-picture show worse. This movie was then bad, I couldn't believe information technology. It wasn't scary at all, the acting was bad and so was the story, the special effects, the characters, fifty-fifty the title was ridiculous. If in that location was a book. I believe, they invented the picture show while they produced information technology. Whoever you are that yous read this: If you oasis't seen this pic, don't spotter it. Carnosaurus is a much better moving-picture show than the Killer Bee nightmare. At least those dinosaurs could impale someone. In contrary to those bees, not ane of those morons died, fifty-fifty though I wished so badly for it :-(

Crappy movie, but....
I WAS IN THIS Flick! As a teenager, a friend got me and my bandmates hired to play in the band that played at the outside wedding reception that the bees attacked! That's me in the red vest playing guitar and running into the firm. That dork they showed playing lead guitar was dubbed in later.
Highlights were: Meeting Mr. Hays (I'thou a fan of plane), who was really nice to us musicians as he had a hobby of building custom guitars, and either dated or was married to a famous 80'due south rocker.
The Bee wrangler was nice and explained at peachy length how the queenless role player-hive had to be perpetually replenished. A bee vomited a hulk of dear on my bandmates leather sleeve and I ate it.
It rained during the day and the guitar I used got wet and I felt it had gotten a little warpy- that very night I had a gig at the bar (snuck in every bit I wasn't 21), and I threw the guitar off the stage and smashed it at the climax of the show.
I saw the movie and liked looking for myself and the tunnel scene.
Annotation to all moving picture watchers- movies dominion when your in them, no matter how bad they are.

Could have used a fiddling work...
The movie, Mortiferous Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare lacked a lot in the fashion of entertainment. That is unless you really like bees, which I don't. The bees seemed more intelligent than the main characters which is your outset inkling of where the movie is headed. If the purpose of this movie was to enhance my awareness of the migration of Killer Bees or to alert the viewer of the danger, it cruel much too short. I wasn't frightened at all nor alarmed in the least little scrap. <yawn>
The only thing I can say most the movie is the actors did the best they could with what they had. Dennis Christopher (Beauchamp) was the simply colorful character on the show only he appeared for only a few minutes and his prophecies of doom were totally rushed over and ignored. Dennis Christopher presented yet another wonderful performance in a motion-picture show unworthy of his talents. Likewise bad they didn't feature the film effectually Beauchamp instead of the local residents - DC might have been able to save information technology.
Other than that you can exist grateful at least that the spoiled boys got what they deserved in the finish.
Well-nigh favored quote of the movie: Dennis Christopher calling the waitress Darlin' with a bit of southern drawl.

Hare-brained storyline, not scary, bad acting
Warning: Spoilers
Horrible, horrible made-for-TV garbage. I happened to grab the last hour of this on some dizzy cable channel. As the son of a beekeeper, I am a bit of an authority on bees.
Anyone who knows anything about bees knows that y'all never swat at them, simply that'southward all that the actors did throughout this entire movie. I kept hoping that Robert Hays' character would get killed for beingness so stupid, but that never happens.
For a supposedly horrifying movie, there was no horror. Information technology was not the to the lowest degree scrap scary. I could never sit through it again, information technology was and so bad. Don't waste material whatever fourth dimension with this one.

Memorable killer bee film.
Yet again, another one of those movies has returned. A film with the scenario of "Killer-animal(s)-stalks-people-every bit-they-struggle-to-survive". Using killer bees for the basis of this film, DEADLY INVASION begins with a head-scratcher of a message telling us that this movie is based on something that MAY accept actually happened.
Robert Hays, Nancy Stafford, Ryan Phillipe, and Dennis Christopher are the stars of this picture show that follows 1 family'southward struggle to survive against the mortiferous swarm while trapped inside their desolate farm house. I really enjoyed the film. I felt that it was very well put together and was pretty good. Not worthy of any awards or annihilation, but entertaining all the same. DEADLY INVASION is a motion-picture show that is memorable in the genre, but otherwise, it is not. Mortiferous INVASION gets three/5.
Oh, and to anybody that complains that this movie is humorous, if yous want humor, scroll to the bottom of this folio and read the comment written past the annonymous user who calls this film two words that don't exist: Volkomen Kut?? Get ahead, read it...you will laugh yourself silly.

Atrocious fabricated for TV flick
Warning: Spoilers
I expected nix from this picture show, and I got zippo. The unproblematic fact that information technology's a made for Goggle box film is enough to render any excitement about the prospect of killer bees redundant. There is no gore. No violence. No swearing. No nudity. None of those. So what practise we have? A tepid thriller, the outset half of which includes some mortiferous-boring character edifice, interspersed with some bee attacks (in ane funny scene the bees are obviously glued in patches to the actors - this special consequence hasn't been improved on since Fulci did it with maggots in City OF THE LIVING Expressionless).
Then it's the dull house-under-siege-by-bees which churns out recycled action from tons of other films. The bees come down the chimney, just like the birds did in, uh, THE BIRDS. The survivors hide in the basement, simply similar NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. The insects mass and assail the family unit in their home, simply like the spiders did in ARACHNOPHOBIA. But at least ARACHNOPHOBIA was funny, and cheesy in a good way.
This is just slow, predictable nonsense. The actors barely deed. The only reason to sentry this pic is for the unintentionally funny scenes when a male child falls through an attic floor, when the father uses an axe like Jack Nicholson in THE SHINING, a hilarious moment when a male child shotguns a number of bee hives and the numerous bee attacks, where people scream and moving ridge their arms around a lot for no reason. Otherwise, don't bee fooled into watching this atrocious rubbish.

Pure Genius
This is one of the finer works to come out of American cinema in the 1990'southward, and I am only happy to see it was not forgotten. For many years I felt that I had the only copy in existence having taped it from television in 1995, however information technology seems that this film that was shunned by North American video and theatrical attention has institute a new audience overseas. I've not seen such vivid suspense and drama since vintage Hitchcock and I'm afraid we will never once again run into films of this high class in the next millenium.

volkomen kut
I don't know where to start. This movie is the worst I've seen in a long time. Volkomen kut. I mean, c'monday, this is ridiculous! Those bees were even less mortiferous than my grandma in an advanced stage of Alzheimer's affliction.
I've got only three words for this movie: Volkomen Kut. Well, that's ii, actually.

Shows how Young order is
I saw Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare the first fourth dimension information technology was on TV, February 28, 1995; it was on again in August, 1997, just I thought in one case was enough. The film showed but how ignorant and stupid too many Americans are. Not merely are they ignorant of the killer bees. Too many Americans believe in nonsense-meaningless stereotypes! Chad Ingram represents the hero begetter, as if EVERY dad has to match up to that image, which is non true. Karen represents the archetypal suburban mom; Tracy and Lucy are the equally ignorant daughters. Though these killer bees are only partly understood at the present, it is unlikely that they would go and so far as to travel in CLOUDS and surround the Ingram abode completely, much less work their mode Within and cut off electricity and phone service to kick! Yet so many Americans are so ignorant to BELIEVE that such is likely to happen! Past the same token, many Americans believe that all persons should match up to the stereotypes that the Ingrams show, that all the globe imitate LORE instead of reflecting the holiness of God! Then, having seen that flick once, that suffices to make me realize that Amercian society has a lot of growing upwards to do.

Ever seen THE TOMORROW PEOPLE: THE CULEX EXPERIMENT
This picture show is similar to the serial of Tomorrow People: THE CULEX EXPERIMENT (Except Culex fools effectually with bees instead of mosquitos). This movie lacked entertainment. Three words describe: Adept, BAD, and REALLYBAD. (I know it'due south 2 words, okay!)

family moves to small town and is terrorized by a nest of dangerous bees in their home.
Actually, I have seen this film and even more, I was cast as an actress when they filmed it at my high schoolhouse. Information technology was kind of fun to see how things piece of work behind the cameras. The finished production was just fantastic! I thought they did a very skilful job in locations and things like that. It was pretty absurd to see my abode-town depicted equally a California community, even though I live a time zone away. My friends and I had a adept time picking out where nosotros were and how many times we appeared in the film. Information technology was and so much fun! I think the interim was perfect for a made for TV movie and the filming locations they used were utilized incredibly well. It gives movies a whole new attribute after yous have spent time on the set up. If you like thrillers, and b-type movies, requite it a shot!

Archetype horror 😂
Alarm: Spoilers
So I remember watching this pic back in the 90'south. It follows some classic horror traits.... Kissing or exposing body parts ways you'll be next. Imagine a teen slasher but with bees
Entertaining, I've always enjoyed this moving-picture show.

Bees + Phillippe = Excellence
While this moving-picture show lacked in terms of the Three Elements (vulgarity, violence, and nudity), it definitely made upward for with intense killer bee stock footage and Ryan Phillippe. Being that Deadly Invasion was intended for Television viewing, one should go in realizing that they won't be getting much, if any, of the Three Elements. This lack of quantity does non make the movie endure in quality at all. The random yet eerie footage of bee swarms kept me on edge, and Ryan Phillippe blew me away with his badass on the brink of tears attitude. A noteworthy scene depicted Tom (Ryan Phillippe) reacting to his friend's fall through the insulation in the cranium. Truly a moving scene that left me in suspense. It all really comes together in a feel good way at the end, and it becomes axiomatic why Ryan Phillippe and bees are and then popular today.
