Review:
Just what is this monster from green hell? A giant wasp, that's what, with eyes that somehow look like truck headlights and crab like claws that strangle their victims allegedly before stinging them. When they find a nest of these things, they attempt to destroy them with grenades and a purposely exploded volcano. It sounds fun on the page, but the pacing is outlandishly slow and the acting barely noticable. Worth a look for sci-fihorror die-hards, but even the most patient viewer will be clamoring for the end.
