Synopsis of The Wasp Woman

﻿

The Wasp Woman – A cosmetics queen develops a youth formula from jelly taken from queen wasps. She suffers from unwanted side effects when exceeding the dosage. It’s actually an interesting story, dealing with how society treats — and discards — people as they age. It’s a story about ageism, wrapped in a science fiction/horror story.

Susan Cabot, Michael Mark, Fred Eisley, directed by Roger Corman. Well done, low budget sci-fi. An eccentric scientist develops a revolutionary youth-restoring beauty cream for the aging head of a cosmetics firm(Cabot). To her amazement, she finds that when she uses it on herself, it works! There’s just one little problem: she also finds herself occasionally changing into a horrible, wasp-like monster with a penchant for killing.
