Killer Bees (2002 TV Movie)
7/10
Somewhat flawed but still highly enjoyable
20 September 2012
A small-town sheriff tries to warn others about a ravenous swarm of killer bees loose in the area after a shipment to study them accidentally releases them into the wild, and then tries to stop the swarm from taking over the town when they fail to listen.

Rather predictable and ordinary killer bee movie, not a whole lot to get worked up about nor enough to really despise about it either. Some decent attacks, including a fun one at a rural farmhouse, the resulting panic when they hit the open-air festival in town and a big action-packed finale make for some rather fun times, but the lack of gore because of the creatures used, terrible CGI for the swarm in action yet use of real-life bees for most of the scenes and general clichés running rampant (from the mayor who doesn't want to dirty his hands with the upcoming money-boosting festival about to hit, the companions failing to see anything out of the ordinary despite the crazy situation before them and the reconciling family brought back through the experience before them) as well as a lazy explanation for their release all make this one seem decent but unspectacular.

Rated R: Violence and Adult Language
