L'attaque des guêpes dragons

After learning of her father's disappearance in a South American jungle, tasty blonde entomologist Gina Humphries (Dominika Juillet) talks fellow bug-hunter Rhonda Guiterrez (Nikolette Noel) into helping her find him. When they are stopped by American soldiers patrolling the area, the girls convince the leader, John Hammond (Corin Nemec), to enlist his toughest men (and woman) to aid them in their search. Hammond fully expects trouble from the voodoo drug runners who operate in the jungle, but he isn't prepared for an attack by oversized, genetically mutated wasps.

When the script sucks, the budget is low, the cast are far from great, and the CGI is basic, the least that can be done is to inject some fun into proceedings. Joe Knee, director of Dragon Wasps, doesn't seem to understand this, his movie failing to fully embrace the absurdity of poorly rendered, six-foot-long, fire-breathing wasps attacking a group of highly trained soldiers (and two sexy scientists) in a jungle. Instead, he has his cast play it completely straight throughout, as if he were making a film to rival Arnie classic Predator. Nemec is no Schwarzenegger, Knee is no John McTiernan, and Dragon Wasps is instantly forgettable nonsense. A couple of gore effects (CGI, of course) just about prevent this turkey from getting the lowest possible score.
