Monster from Green Hell

Monster from Green Hell is a 1957 science fiction monster movie directed by Curt Siodmak, starring Jim Davis and Barbara Turner. The film tells the story of a test rocket carrying wasps to outer space, to study the effects on them of weightlessness and radiations, crashes out of control back to Earth, into the jungles of Africa. The two astrobiologists in charge of the test mount an expedition to the Darkest Continent to retrieve their experiment, only to find the wasps have grown to giant size which are panicking all forms of life as they quest for food. The film's special effects were created by Marcel Delgado, who had worked on the original 1933 King Kong film. The film was released in the United States on March 27, 1957, by American International Pictures.
