Review: It was weird - I liked it played but it wasn't the best movie, I have seen about bee's. Very disappointed but it's my fault that I didn't like this movie Review: Best David Decoteau Movie In Years! - 1313: Giant Killer Bees is another guilty pleasure directed by David Decoteau. I've been a long time fan of Decoteau's, even if nearly all of his movies are just an excuse for hot guys to take off their shirts, take showers, etc. Actually, that's why I'm a fan! Giant Killer Bees is his movie in years, maybe since Leeches. The guys in this movie are all hot, including one who unfortunately doesn't even take his shirt off. I'm talking about the hunk who has wavy dark hair and looks like Taylor Lautner, only a few years older. The shower scenes are really hot, and the camera actually zooms in on the guy's pubic area. And we get to see some brief butt shots in the shower as well. The bees in the film are CGI, and look really bad but fun in a cheesy way. There are some humorous moments sprinkled throughout, making this a campy and light sci-fi / horror film. Here's hoping that Decoteau's numerous upcoming projects are just as good (or better) as this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005LZW9B2 | | Actors | Derek North, Jillian Nelson, Tanner Novlan, Darren Thomas | | Best Sellers Rank | #237,385 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #10,138 in Horror (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 3.1 3.1 out of 5 stars (20) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | December 6, 2011 | | Run time | 1 hour and 20 minutes | | Studio | Rapid Heart Pictures | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Derek North, Jillian Nelson, Tanner Novlan, Darren Thomas - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Horror - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 20 minutes ## Images ![1313: Giant Killer Bees! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mug3bai5L.jpg) ![1313: Giant Killer Bees! - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aU45LKl4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ It was weird *by B***D on July 6, 2023* I liked it played but it wasn't the best movie, I have seen about bee's.

The first two I watched ("90210 Shark Attack!" and "Bigfoot vs. D. B. Cooper") were very similar. After watching them I felt exhausted by the awfulness of the production values and decided to pace myself and wait a year before attempting "1313: Giant Killer Bees!" I don't personally understand the appeal of the 1313 series, but I was at least hoping for some campy fun, and truth bee told (sorry; I couldn't not make that pun), I would have given this an extra half star if Amazon allowed it for the ludicrous bee CGI, which made me laugh out loud several times. Not that plot is particularly important to any of these films, but at least this gets us away from the locations more frequently used by DeCoteau, and was filmed in Puerto Rico, here representing the island of "San Marino", a location outside the purview of meddling health and safety regulators and perfect for giant bee experiments. The film opens with a science type, Professor Bensington (Raine Parsons-Wright) in bandages explaining how he didn't mean to destroy the world, so the rest of the film is told in flashback, technically. One thing I will say for DeCoteau: he really does know how to set up and photograph a shot: his cinematography skills are very strong, and the photography of the locations (particularly the beach and fort) is excellent. The problem comes in stringing the individual snippets together into a coherent movie. Now, I frankly expected a minimum of coherent plot and an excess of padding, and boy was I right! This film is an exercise in padding, and could probably be edited down to a 15-minute short that would be much more interesting and appropriately paced. I'm not exaggerating: the worst offender is when one of the protagonists here wanders around for what seems like forever in the old coastal fort they filmed in. I dare you not to fast forward. Another annoyance, particularly early in the film, is the oppressive dramatic music that overwhelms the soundtrack while nothing dramatic is happening. The point of this experiment (in the most casually run, soccer-intensive lab I have ever seen) is to make honeybees bigger and more durable to increase their pollinating abilities, and to better resist the ravages of global warming. To that end, Bensington's lab is populated by grad students, only one of which is female (Jillian Nelson, who is quite attractive, but a bit out of her element here), and many of which are shirtless, as is the mouthy, bitter janitor. Bensington sends in a guy named Redwood (Derek North) to take charge of the chaos and get results. Once the cast is all assembled, the typical DeCoteau action really gets going: lots of long, lingering shots of young men lounging in their underwear dominate the film. It's also amazing that in such a time-critical emergency how much time is available for long steamy showers (though some may be disappointed that Jillian Nelson never gets her turn for some reason....) I did get a laugh out of the "bee eye vision" effect where the naughty voyeur bee watches the guy napping on his bed for what seems like 50 hours, but is probably realistically closer to five minutes. When the giant CGI bees are finally revealed, you will likely be unable to stop an audible guffaw. The science behind how the bees turn the guys into shower bee vampires is a bit mystifying, but the bee autopsy results (!) will reveal all. Of course the film ends in a race against time as everyone is becoming bee zombie vampires (I guess), and the bees are getting ready to lay their eggs. (Of course they are.) In a positive twist, the film may end a bit differently than you expect and that's an upside, but nothing can change the fact that this is a stultifyingly boring film with no real redeeming graces. Like with some of his other works, this one includes a commentary track with DeCoteau that's marginally more interesting than the film itself, the trailer for this film and also a trailer for "Nightmare Mansion". Rounding out the extras are a few behind the scenes still photographs. This is among the worst of the David DeCoteau films. His obvious focus on marginally clad young men is what his movies have apparently devolved into and if that's not your thing, the cult and camp value will not outweigh that in any way shape, form, or fashion. Is this a bad movie? Yes it is. Is it enjoyably bad? I think not. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/38190012-1313-giant-killer-bees](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/38190012-1313-giant-killer-bees) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
