The Deadly Bees

1966 · 83 min

A quaint, slow-burning British horror that feels like a creaky, occasionally unintentionally funny thriller with a few buzzy shocks.

Tagline: Hives of horror!
Overview: Pop singer Vicki Robbins collapses from exhaustion while shooting ta music video; her physician prescribes a respite on Seagull Island with beekeeper Ralph Hargrove. Initially finding the Hargroves' bitter marital strife oddly relaxing, the arrival of specially-bred attack bees pushes Vicki to her survival instinct.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, campy and dark. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Isolation, deception, survival, obsession
Content: Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
