Monster from Green Hell
A test rocket carrying wasps to outer space, to study the effects on them of weightlessness and radiations, crashes out of control back to Earth, into the jungles of Africa. The two astrobiologists in charge of the test mount an expedition to the Darkest Continent to retrieve their experiment, only to find the wasps have grown to giant size which are panicking all forms of life as they quest for food.
From the archive
“Almost unwatchable” “A half hour too long” “Mind-numbing bore” “A gem from my youth” (IMDB reviews quotes). Tacky wasp puppet footage combined with the lengthy safari footage from “Stanley and Livingston” (1939). That’s more or less all there is to this low-budget creature feature. The uninspired cast does little to help. You’ve been warned. IMDB rating 3.3. Directed by Kenneth G Crane. Released in 1957. Complete Print. TRIVIA: This is another one of the hundreds of movies, TV shows and even pornos that were shot all or in part in the Bronson Canyon, Griffith Park, Los Angeles.
