"Waspzilla" is a delightful testament to the ingenuity and passion of indie filmmaking. Director James B. Thomasson, known for his prowess in crafting low-budget wonders reminiscent of classic Asylum movies, delivers another gem following the success of "Terrifying T-Rex."
One of the film's strengths lies in its stellar cast. Morrigan Thompson and Angel Bradford shine as the dynamic cop duo, infusing the screen with chemistry and depth. The former as the grizzled veteran reluctantly teamed with the young rookie (Bradford). Thompson's portrayal of dual roles, embodying her twin sister with seamless finesse, is a standout performance. It's a joy witnessing her talent unfold with more dialogue and screen time, showcasing her versatility as an actor.
Despite budget constraints, the movie boasts impressive costumes and CGI effects. "Waspzilla" emerges as a visual treat, especially during the thrilling aerial battles between the military and the formidable Waspzilla. Thomasson's adeptness at maximizing resources to create engaging CGI moments akin to the charm of old-school Asylum movies is commendable.
The film also pays homage to indie movie stalwarts like Mel Heflin, Clint Beaver, Hillary Tory, Bryan Matthew Ward, and Rudy Ledbetter, making brief yet memorable appearances. Dawn DuVurger's return from "Terrifying T-Rex" adds a delightful layer of humor to the narrative.
"Waspzilla" is a testament to Thomasson's storytelling finesse and his ability to make the most of limited resources. For aficionados of classic Asylum CGI movies, this film is an absolute must-watch, offering a blend of sci-fi horror and indie charm that captivates from start to finish.
