"This is the stupidest damn thing I ever heard!"
Wikipedia's one-sentence summary of this Stepford Wives rip-off is pretty funny:
...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.
Seduced... to DEATH. What a way to go!
The men of the town are quickly dropping off like flies, and the local law enforcement just can't figure out why. Each of the men are found having suffered heart failure caused by sexual exhaustion. It turns out they've been meeting up with these super-beauties created by a mad lady scientist. It's maybe a rather over-elaborate set-up to just show women in their underwear, don't ya think? It's like in the Fringe pilot, when the main character had to strip down to her bra and panties to be able to communicate psychically with her dead partner. (Thanks, 70s exploitation movies! Thanks, Fox!)
At O:06 - The strange force... of vanilla frosting? That's my guess.
At 0:12 - BEES??
At 0:22 - Mmm, ravishingly beautiful women.
At 0:30 - Ahhhh, the "waka-chika-waka-chika-waka-chika" soundtrack. This movie is from the seventies, folks. In case you didn't believe me, there's your proof.
At 0:53 - Wait, *why* try to stop it?
At 1:25 - Hillbilly freakout alert!
At 1:33 - Loooooooser.
An interesting bit of trivia: Invasion of the Bee Girls was the first produced screenplay by Nicholas Meyer, who went on to work on the screenplays for Star Trek II, IV, and VI. Right, the even-numbered ones. The good ones.

DEATH BY SNU-SNU
One of the better-respected professors in the UCLA screenwriting program freaking swears by this film and wanted us all to rent it. I never did.
Wanted to let you guys know I did another page to screen analysis!
