Roger Corman both produced and directed this female-centered monster film about a cosmetics tycoon (played by Susan Cabot) desperate to regain her youthful beauty using a dubious scientist's wasp serum extract which works initially but soon backfires horribly turning her into the titular creature, as brutal murders then ensue...
Good cast (Cabot in particular) can't save briskly paced but narratively garbled and unimaginative story. Monster mask makeup is poorly realized, result just isn't suspenseful or effective.
Available in both 61 and 73 minutes (for TV) versions, both of which have the same issues.
