My quick rating - 2,4/10. Just sheer nonsense constantly. We have a goth beekeeper who happens to be an outcast at school. Go figure with that description she isn't the most popular girl on campus? So when a substitute teacher decides to stick up for her when no one including her completely dysfunctional family, she is immediately under her wing. When I say immediate, I mean it is disturbing to think who quickly they go from strangers to besties. The teacher would be slapped with harassment charges in a second if this weren't a horror movie. The dynamic of the family is also just so blatantly stupid. The father is so overprotective of HER, yet suddenly disappearing for days on end is normal. The mother/daughter combination is looney tunes and doesn't help in the development of Aster (Elizabeth McCoy) who is our bee-loving victim. Since this is a horror flick, this substitute has to be hiding a secret and I am fairly unsure the makers of the film had decided what that secret was going to be. This unsure aspect of the film leads to some very oddball plot turns. I won't say twists since they are just idiotic and jammed into the story for the hell of it. But most of the time you are just stuck wondering where is this going and why. I also don't want to spoil it in case this pops on at 2 am and there is literally nothing else on and the paint on the wall is dry but all of this nonsense of poor acting, questionable plot, and lame kills leads to one of the most Z-budget monster?? I have seen in a long time. I kid you not, you have had a better costume for your 6-year-old princess on Halloween than what these dolts came up with in the end. It may have crawled out of #turkey range from the bizarre little romance story that got an interesting turn but this ending put the basting on the final. Avoid it.
