THE WASP WOMAN
When Botox isn't enough
SYNOPSIS
Cosmetics queen Janice Starlin has built an empire selling youth and beauty. There's just one problem: she's getting older. When a mysterious scientist offers her an experimental treatment that promises to turn back the clock, Janice sees the answer to all her problems. And it works. Perhaps a little too well. Because staying young is one thing. Staying human is another.
A campy modern adaptation of Roger Corman's 1959 B-movie cult classic.
Critical Reception
An extraordinary adaptation of the original film. The voices and sound design create a perfect way to inspire images in one’s head of all that is going on. Really quite fantastic.
- Richard Taylor, Weta Workshop
The standout performance is from Tara Langella, who finds that balance of melodramatic camp and horror/suspense acting found in films like Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.” The acting is great and reminiscent of those cheesy movies spoofed by Mystery Science Theater 3000.

"The Wasp Woman" pushes all the buttons in the very first minutes.
