Plot[edit]
In Hill's prologue, a scientist, Dr. Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark), is fired from his job at a honey farm for experimenting with wasps.
The founder and owner of a large cosmetics company, Janice Starlin (Susan Cabot), is disturbed when her firm's sales begin to drop after it becomes apparent to her customer base that she is aging. Zinthrop has been able to extract enzymes from the royal jelly of the queenwasp that can reverse the aging process. Janice agrees to fund further research, at great cost, provided she can serve as his human subject. Displeased with the slowness of the results, she breaks into the scientist's laboratory after hours and injects herself with extra doses of the formula. Zinthrop becomes aware that some of the test creatures are becoming violent and goes to warn Janice, but before he can reach anyone, he gets into a car accident. He is thus temporarily missing and Janice goes through great trouble to find him, eventually taking over his care.
Janice continues her clandestine use of the serum and sheds 20 years in a single weekend, but soon discovers that she is periodically transformed into a murderous, wasp-like creature. Eventually, Zinthrop throws a jar of carbolic acid at her face, and another character uses a chair to push her out of a window, killing her.

The Wasp Woman Cast
Release[edit]
According to Tim Dirks, The Wasp Woman was one of a wave of 'cheap teen movies' released for the drive-in market. They consisted of 'exploitative, cheap fare created especially for them [teens] in a newly-established teen/drive-in genre'.[6]
The film was re-released as part of the '100th Anniversary of Monster Movies' in March 2010.[7]
Soundtrack[edit]
The Wasp Woman's musical score, written by Fred Katz, was originally composed for the film A Bucket of Blood. According to Mark Thomas McGee, author of Roger Corman: The Best of the Cheap Acts, each time Katz was called upon to write music for Corman, he sold the same score as if it were new music.[8] The score was used in a total of seven films, including The Little Shop of Horrors and Creature from the Haunted Sea.[citation needed]
Reception[edit]
The Wasp Woman received mixed to negative reception from critics upon its release. The film currently holds a 45% 'Rotten' rating at the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 10 based on 11 reviews.[9]
Variety declared, 'Film has interesting points and looks polished but it's pretty slow and not very frightening.'[10] Charles Stinson of the Los Angeles Times wrote, 'Leo Gordon's script is smoothly urbane with nice surprising little touches of humor here and there. Slim, intense, brunet Susan Cabot, who always impresses, does excellently nuanced work as the neurotic lady with the worries and the wasps.'[11]The Monthly Film Bulletin stated, 'The earlier, more realistic scenes of this modest shocker, which is slow to get going, are pretty unlikely, while the later bouts of fantasy are ludicrous rather than terrifying. Routine stuff, in fact, for determined enthusiasts only.'[12] Film critic Leonard Maltin gave the film a mostly positive 2 1/2 out of 4 stars.[13]TV Guide gave the film a negative review, awarding it a score of 1 out of 4, and calling the film 'laughable'.[14]Allmovie gave a negative review, criticizing the film's 'ludicrous' monster costume, special effects, and low budget.[15]
Parodies[edit]
On April 6, 2008, Cinematic Titanic did a live riff on the film to a theater audience. It was released on DVD on August 7, 2008.[16]In the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode 'Night of the Were-Mole', Muriel can be seen watching The Wasp Woman, which she describes as 'her favorite show'.[17]
Cinema Insomnia[edit]
In 2007, The Wasp Woman was shown on the horror hosted television series Cinema Insomnia.[18]Apprehensive Films later released the Cinema Insomnia episode on DVD.[19]
Remakes[edit]
Rejuvenatrix (also known as The Rejuvenator) was inspired by Corman's film, with some critics calling it 'a 1988 version of The Wasp Woman'.[20]
In 1995, a remake of The Wasp Woman was produced for the Roger Corman Presents series. The remake was directed by Jim Wynorski, and starred Jennifer Rubin as Janice Starlin.[citation needed]
