The Deadly Bees (1966)

How bad is it? It's a fair horror film.
Should you see it? If your a fan of 1960's British horror.

There were several killer bee movies in the 1970's (some much worse than this), but Africanized honey bees were largely unknown when this film was made. Here, a scientist has created a scent that, when put on someone, causes bees to attack. The bees are stopped by the smell of ammonia (and occasionally put off briefly with smoke). The make-up effects aren't terrible, but the bees are obviously superimposed in most attack scenes. Why this is considered terrible by some, I don't know, except that it is a bit slow.
