Usually when you put killer bees in your movie, you actually let them kill someone and not just fly around being stopped by sweaters and sheets of paper. Anyway, some farm is being infested with bees and some guy tries to stop them with a gun. For some mysterious reason, this doesn't work and the bees head for a random house to cause well, nothing really.

You know, I don't see how these bees can even be called killer bees. When you're locked in a room surrounded by thousands of these things, I'd say dying is the least you can do. Hell, even regular bees could mess you up good in that situation. But no, as long as you can move your arm like a moron you'll always be safe. They can't even kill a little girl who is ALLERGIC TO BEE STINGS! Laziest damn bees I've ever seen. Very boring movie.

This is one of the finer works to come out of American cinema in the 1990's, and I am only happy to see it was not forgotten. For many years I felt that I had the only copy in existence having taped it from television in 1995, however it seems that this film that was shunned by North American video and theatrical attention has found a new audience overseas. I've not seen such brilliant suspense and drama since vintage Hitchcock and I'm afraid we will never again see films of this high class in the next millenium.

Yet again, another one of those movies has returned. A film with the scenario of "Killer-animal(s)-stalks-people-as-they-struggle-to-survive". Using killer bees for the basis of this film, DEADLY INVASION begins with a head-scratcher of a message telling us that this film is based on something that MAY have actually happened.

Robert Hays, Nancy Stafford, Ryan Phillipe, and Dennis Christopher are the stars of this film that follows one family's struggle to survive against the deadly swarm while trapped inside their desolate farm house. I really enjoyed the film. I felt that it was very well put together and was pretty good. Not worthy of any awards or anything, but entertaining nonetheless. DEADLY INVASION is a film that is memorable in the genre, but otherwise, it is not. DEADLY INVASION gets 3/5.

Oh, and to everyone that complains that this movie is humorous, if you want humor, scroll to the bottom of this page and read the comment written by the annonymous user who calls this film two words that don't exist: Volkomen Kut?? Go ahead, read it...you will laugh yourself silly.

Actually, I have seen this movie and even more, I was cast as an extra when they filmed it at my high school. It was kind of fun to see how things work behind the cameras. The finished product was just fantastic! I thought they did a very good job in locations and things like that. It was pretty cool to see my home-town depicted as a California community, even though I live a time zone away. My friends and I had a good time picking out where we were and how many times we appeared in the film. It was so much fun! I think the acting was perfect for a made for TV movie and the filming locations they used were utilized incredibly well. It gives movies a whole new aspect after you have spent time on the set. If you like thrillers, and b-type movies, give it a shot!

This movie was so bad that it was actually funny. Here are some examples:

1) Fearing being stung to death, the family continues wearing loose and unbuttoned clothing for unknown reasons.

2) The father bundles up with layer after layer of clothing to run to the Jeep and drive for help. He walks out onto the porch and proceeds to stand and swat the bees (that can no longer sting him) for at least a minute.

3) The jeep won't start! The reason? The bees were in the air filter!

4) The son is in the attic and spraying the bees down with a hose that his friend is feeding him. The son is pumping gallon after gallon of water into the attic. Since he was standing on the wet drywall instead of the wooden joists, he falls through the floor into a "locked" room. His friend, instead of opening the door, trembles in fear and the son never even yells for him to open the door.

5) The reason he was "locked" in the room? Earlier the father pushed a towel underneath the door from the hallway. If that's not bad enough, the door opens into the bedroom, not the hallway.

6) After abandoning the house through an underground passage, the father nearly takes the head off one of the other people with an axe.

These people were so stupid that a pervious script probably had them setting the house on fire while they were still inside to kill the bees. Seriously, if you love to yell at idiots on TV then watch this movie at any cost! You'll have a blast yelling at these fools!
