Killer Bees [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

I thought it would be in English so have not looked at it.

...by putting out your hard-earned shekels for this movie, which smells like something bees make, and IT AIN'T HONEY! I love a good "bee/spider/snake/any kind of dangerous thing on-the-loose" type of movie, and usually the tackier the production of the film, the more fun it is. The only deadly thing about this movie, is, how boring it is. A group of 6 cute (naturally) Japanese girls decide to go camping out in the wilderness, on a former ski slope. It's not really the wilderness, but it is at least a two hour walk from where you can leave your car. Why they chose this place, of course, fits into the utter helplessness of their eventual situation. Although one of the girls' fathers is with them to chaperone, SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!, it really doesn't make any difference because....wait for it... everyone dies in this movie, except one. Between the beginning of the film, and the depressing end, we get 90+ minutes of these girls mourning and whining over the death of their friends, one-by-one. We get these stupid bees stinging the girls for no reason I could see, and half the time you don't even see the girls getting stung-just the aftermath. (swollen appendages, etc.). I believe watching a film about the drying of paint on a wall would be more exciting. Take it from me - the director managed to find a way to make a potentially scary/suspenseful/exciting "horror" film seem as boring as a PBS fund-raising telethon.

I bought this because my son wanted it. I never saw it and didn't think much about the Japanese characters. I should have read every single part of the description. Then I would have known not to waste my money on a Japanese movie with English subtitles. What a waste!
