HORNET is yet another Asylum rip-off, this time of the TRANSFORMERS spin-off BUMBLEBEE. They managed to push this one out three days before the blockbuster film, which is the only impressive thing about it. The story adopts a found footage format and follows the usual bland trio of characters as they discover a robot in the woods and use it to thwart an alien invasion. The halting CGI effects are slightly more passable than usual for an Asylum film, but the plotting is non-existent, and what hurts it the most are the incredibly long-winded interrogation scenes which smack of the laziest padding around.
