    Poster...

    The absolute best thing about this entire film is the poster. The poster does far more to convey any sense of mystery, thriller, perhaps horror than the film does at ANY point.

    Unfortunately, as this film begins it's EXCEPTIONALLY clear that none of the actors are very talented. In the opening 5 minutes one just knows that if the quality of acting being displayed is this poor, it's only going to get worse.... and it does.

    The story is looooooooooong, drawn out, and simply so, so, soo uninteresting. There's no tension built whatsoever. It's all drama, poorly acted, drama - other than the last 5-10 minutes where it's poorly acted "thriller" on a made-for-tv level.

    This film is really not worthy of anyone's time. Sorry. I know a lot fo people put work into it... but somewhere along the lines they should have simply cut their losses and ran. Surely the "dailies" showed how bad the acting was.

    Ridiculous

    At least INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS (1973) had a camp thing going on. ROYAL JELLY takes itself way too seriously and the less than stellar acting brings it to a buzz-less crash. Tedious pace and beyond predictable.

    Zero stars

    This was the worst movie I have ever seen. I mean I could have made a better movie and my stuff bad in my opinion. This honestly looked like you told some kids "here's $10 go make a horror movie"

    meh

    I thought it was going to be some kind of fly type body horror sci fi film, but it wasnt.

    Very weird choices, it starts out as a nerdy girl bullied at school kind of thing with a few diffrent characters like parents and bullys etc,

    then all of a sudden they all dissapear and you never see them again and the rest of the film is in 1 location

    you see some effects and 'transformation' (kind of) in the last 2 mins of the film, quite dissapointing.

    Would of been alot better if she turned alot earlier then went back to get revenge on the bullys or something.

    what did i just watch is right

    I watched the first five minutes and went on to something else, saving it for a later time. I couldn't sleep last night so i turned it on and watched it half-asleep, and it was STILL bad. Lol

    the script was terrible, most of the acting was high school play level, the dead teacher didn't make any sense unless queen bee went and killed him so she could meet aster (which is possible to move the plot along but still dumb).

    I know it was supposed to represent a human bee hive. But it wasn't executed properly. At the end, i couldn't even tell if they were supposed to be bees or vampires with .99 fake fangs. The make-up was terrible, a lot was left unexplained, just waste of time. I wasn't sleeping anyway so it was a wash.

    • Trivia
      Royal Jelly the movie, is NOT inspired by, or related to, the short story by Roald Dahl or its adaptation Royal Jelly (1980). The title is purely coincidental and is simply the term for a honey bee secretion produced by glands of the hypopharynx in "nurse" honey bees, which is fed to all larvae in the colony, but fed in especially large quantities to the future queen bee, in her "queen cell" in the bee hive.
