Invasion of the Bee Girls
A powerful cosmic force is turning Earth women into queen bees who kill men by wearing them out sexually.
Why it matters
A cult blend of eco-horror and sexploitation that stings with its bizarre premise and 70s pulpy charm.
- A strange fusion of sci-fi body horror and erotic thriller, tapping into fears of control and sexual politics during the sexual revolution.
- Practical effects and makeup lean into camp but capture a uniquely grimy, underground vibe that’s pure early-70s drive-in cinema.
- Features a cult-favorite performance by Barbara Leigh, channeling seductive menace with a wink and a growl.
- Perfect for fans of weird, transgressive horror that doubles as a time capsule of its era’s anxieties and aesthetics.
