Quick Hit

The Deadly Bees has a clean hook and isolated moments that almost save it, which keeps it well below the line. You can see the movie it wanted to be.

Full Take

This one swings hard at horror and only sometimes connects. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
