The Human Beeing

Business at the Danasco Typing Company is looking up when mad scientist Dr. Charles Metzenbeamer successfully genetically mutates a human being with a worker bee, therefore creating the perfect employee for Danasco – an employee who toils endlessly and asks no questions. To help Mr. Hives blend in with his human co-workers, Dr. Metzenbeamer has dressed him in a suit and slapped a fake moustache and toupee on him. It works, nobody notices that Mr. Hives has an enormous bee head or is chained down to his desk to keep him from attacking everyone in the office. Stacey, a Danasco employee, takes a liking to Mr. Hives, but Dr. Metzenbeamer discourages any interaction with the worker bee, at least until he can squelch its killer instinct. But curiosity turns to obsession and Stacey finds herself neglecting her long-time boyfriend, Joe, to come face to face with a killer monstrosity

Directed by Tony Shea, The Human Beeing leans on a strong ensemble — Jim Coughlin, Eric Hoffman, Colin Harper Plank — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2002.
