Search - The Bees on DVD

Craig S. (InnerMacro) from WAUSAU, WI

This movie sounds much cooler than it actually is. John Saxon is the only capable actor, Carradine does a really awful (and annoying) German accent throughout, and the rest of the cast just states their lines like a 5th grader reading aloud in English class. The funniest part of the movie is the soundtrack selections - wildly inappropriate music for most scenes. It's as if they had rights to certain music and just plugged in what was available at random. Fairly boring, when the movie starts to have some action, it's nearly over. Some of the special effects are okay, but they get offset by really stupid ones. The rating is mostly due to Saxon's efforts - he certainly had a tough slog working long hours in the bee tent, and being stuck with supporting actors that have about as much talent as the bees. Not much here, and there are certainly better killer bee movies out there, so you can skip this one.
