- Dan S Turpin2d agoHilarious and very bad disaster dud that is showing its last gasp as producer Irwin Allen tried desperately to milk it dry. Killer Bees? Haha. Allen once again takes old timer movie stars, Fred McMurray, Olivia DeHavilland, Henry Fonda and Richard Widmark all show up to cash those large checks. To be fair, Fonda once admitted he never said no and it shows. Thr film is not boring at least. Its just misguided and inept. Some truly awful visuals and a mostly absurd storyline. Mostly. Take it as you will and laugh all the way home.
