1973, R, 85 min. Directed by Denis Sanders. Starring Ben Hammer, Wright King, Cliff Osmond, Anitra Ford, William Smith, Victoria Vetri.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., Nov. 21, 2000

Talk about your ultimate B-movie! Anitra Ford (Big Bird Cage) lures women into her hive and zaps them with some kind of gooey sap. They come out wearing dark sunglasses and luring male victims to death by you-know-what.
