Of course I had never heard about this 1976 TV movie titled "The Savage Bees" prior to sitting down here in 2024 to watch it. I happened to stumble upon the movie by random luck, and with it being a movie I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.
Writer Guerdon Trueblood actually put together a fair enough script and storyline, however the movie sort of loses its momentum halfway down the line and settles into a monotonous hum. And the movie never really recovered from that, so the narrative is not really crammed with overly interesting events throughout the course of the movie. And that made sitting through "The Savage Bees" a little bit boring.
Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with Michael Parks. The acting performances in "The Savage Bees" were actually good, despite the script being a bit bland.
While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I was only mildly entertained. "The Savage Bees", however, will not be returning to my screen a second time.
My rating of director Bruce Geller's 1976 movie "The Savage Bees" lands on a four out of ten stars. The movie was simply a bit too uneventful.
