A Plague of Wasps

About This Movie

So, 'A Plague of Wasps' dives into this eerie familial tension, blending drama, fantasy, and horror in a way that feels kind of fresh. The pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating at times, as you watch this WASP matriarch spiral into her obsession, convinced that her son’s fiancée is somehow evil. The performances stand out; the lead really nails the unsettling descent into madness. And there's this unique use of practical effects that heightens the atmosphere—it's not flashy, but it evokes a palpable dread. It’s also interesting how it tackles themes of race and perception within a family dynamic, which adds layers to what might otherwise seem like a straightforward horror narrative.

Unique blend of horror and family drama. · Strong thematic elements around race and perception. · Effective use of practical effects enhances the atmosphere.
