THE WASP WOMAN + ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1960
• Genre: Classic, Horror
• Plot: In the late 1950's and 1960's a motley crew of independent film producers pumped up double bills with sinister mayhem and horror. Whether the venue was a run-down movie palace, a musty neighborhood theater or a drive-in under the stars, kids teenagers on dates and outcasts found themselves receptive to the promise of witnessing the unveiling of macabre secrets, nearly forbidden, it seemed, because of the bloody gruesomeness or lascivious sexuality hinted at by the colorful posters and ballyhoo. For the young, horror films were a psychic, if bizarre glimpse into the still-mysterious world of adulthood; for the rest of the audience, these films provided a jolting breakfrom the predictable and mundane.; ; The Wasp Woman; A cosmetics magnate fearful of aging, uses a potion made from queen wasp enzymes in her quest or eternal beauty causing her to periodically turn into a wasp-monster that must kill.; Filmed in Roger Corman style, in under two weeks and well under a $50,000, 'The Wasp Woman' quickly became, and is still today, a cult classic.; ; Attack Of The Giant Leeches; A bar owner forces his wife and her lover into a murky Southern swamp to be eaten by giant leeches. These oversized bloodsucking monsters soon develop an appetite for human flesh.; Sometimes scary, sometimes chilling, but always low budget and slimy, this cult classic makes a fine choice or a late night scare / laugh.
