Killer Bees is a stinging remake of Jaws even going as far as having a town mayor warning the sheriff not to frighten the locals.C Thomas Howell is the sheriff in question and he has thing against bees as he saw his father die from an attack by a swarm of bees as a child.After a truck driven by what seems like a drunk driver from South America is involved in an accident, a crate or two filled with South American killer bees are unleashed.The Sheriff is suspicious as one or two bodies turn up dead with what looks like bee stings. He calls in a bee expert, she happens to have the hots for our sheriff. Fortunately although the sheriff is married with kids, he is available as it seems that he and his wife are not together any more.Of course the nasty Mayor who spends his time buying up land from poor farmers will have none of these deadly bee tales. He is organising the Honey Festival and everyone is going to show up for that including the local media. I think the Mayor failed to tell the bees not to show up as that leads to the stinging finale.There is no suspense here as initially a few stray people get attacked and killed before a member of the sheriff's family is under attack. The CGI bees are poor but the whole movie is still a lot better than an Asylum film made for the Sci-Fi channel.Its corny, its predictable but its also cheesy fun.

A small-town sheriff tries to warn others about a ravenous swarm of killer bees loose in the area after a shipment to study them accidentally releases them into the wild, and then tries to stop the swarm from taking over the town when they fail to listen.Rather predictable and ordinary killer bee movie, not a whole lot to get worked up about nor enough to really despise about it either. Some decent attacks, including a fun one at a rural farmhouse, the resulting panic when they hit the open-air festival in town and a big action-packed finale make for some rather fun times, but the lack of gore because of the creatures used, terrible CGI for the swarm in action yet use of real-life bees for most of the scenes and general clichés running rampant (from the mayor who doesn't want to dirty his hands with the upcoming money-boosting festival about to hit, the companions failing to see anything out of the ordinary despite the crazy situation before them and the reconciling family brought back through the experience before them) as well as a lazy explanation for their release all make this one seem decent but unspectacular.Rated R: Violence and Adult Language

I will start with this is more of a 3.5-3.8 not a full 4. The effects are pretty bad more like 70s-80s b movie NOT 50s or 60s. The acting is also awful the kids actually almost save this flop. If you somehow like CT howell you may even enjoy this as he is the sheriff. The story is probably the best, about the quality you could expect from an average 6th grader. Even so I watched this and can say of the 1000s of horror/monster flicks this was not among the worst by any means. It is fairly clean for family watching, some sensuality and pg violence. Watch it on netflix or something it will be cheap and you could do a lot worse. Josh

This is so bad that I wasted so much free time on this bad special effects film.The bees are fake which don't look scary.Remakes are just not so good these days personally because special effects are what is ruining ferfectly good remakes. Special effects just destroy remakes. This is why Killer bees looks so bad for a remake.The Sheriff of a small town just goes around telling everyone that killer bees are coming and will get everyone.Even the Sheriff looks like an ass doing this. The bees are highly unscary.Also they are laughable for even me to watch.Flying in a swarm they look like little tiny dots. This looks so phony. Here this movie was just sad. If I WANTED something better I would have went for a stroll. Awful remake.
