Invasion of the Bee Girls is a sci-fi sexploitation movie from 1973 directed by Denis Sanders and written by Nicholas Meyer. Being in the public domain, it can be watched freely on youtube.
The premise of the movie is that a Mad Scientist (played by Anitra Ford) has created an army of beauties who seduce men to death. One by one the male victims are killed before the local police catch on to the plans of the infected females.
Invasion of the Bee Girls contains examples of:
- Big Bad: Dr. Harris is the one in charge of the bee girls and the source of conflict in the movie.
- Black Eyes of Evil: The primary insect trait of the titular women. When in full Bee Girl mode, their irises grow extremely large and, from at least one Bee Girls' point of view, they also see multiple images in the manner that real bees do. When out in public, they wear sunglasses to hide their eyes just in case they go into bee mode.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: The titular bee girls have been genetically modified with the sex drives of honeybees. One bee woman immediately tries to seduce the protagonist when he arrives to inform her of her husband's death.
- Covered in Gunge: Part of the sequence for creating a bee girl involves the victim being covered from head to toe in a layer of white goo that evidently attracts bees.
- Covers Always Lie: The film got a re-release in some areas (and on video) as "Graveyard Tramps", with a poster
◊ implying it was about sexy female vampires. - Exploitation Film: Plenty of gratuitous nudity for both titillation and horrific effect.
- Hot Librarian: Julie, who serves as a Damsel in Distress in the climax when Dr. Harris tries to turn her into a Bee Girl.
- Mad Scientist: The primary antagonist, Dr. Susan Harris is a scientist who hopes to create an army of bee women that can "seduce men to death" and has a lab packed with strange and wonderous technology.
- Out with a Bang: The victims of the bee girls all die from heart failure caused by strenuous sexual intercourse.
- Taking You with Me: Stan Williams realizes too late that his wife has been turned into one of the titular bee girls. As he's dying from a heart attack, he strangles her.
- The "The" Title Confusion: Trailers include "the", though the title card and poster do not.
