A great film, one time whilst watching this movie, I turned around and there on the wall next to my face was a spider. I was then worried thousands would start swarming through the door. That was a night I'd rather forget.
As someone who is afraid of spiders I can say this film succeeded in creeping me out, and making me think spiders were crawling all over me, this in my eyes made it successfull! Good film!
I first saw this at the cinema when I was about 8. I remember my mum phoning the theatre to ask if it was suitable for a child and I was so excited when she agreed to take me. Back then it terrified me... I watched this again the other night and my goodness, it's awful! Even though i'm not too keen on spiders, it's very un-scary and also very badly made. I was noticing all kinds of mistakes, it's incredibly flawed. It gets 2 stars for comical value
wow i have only seen half of this movie but this movie really scared me mainly because imn terified of spiders but this movie really scares me,,,,this has got a good cast of actors/actressess thorughout this movie....i think that the director of this Horror, Comedy movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie because the director keeps you on the edge's of your seats throughout this movie n u never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...this is an ok movie but imn not going 2 watch it cuz its really scary
IF YOU HATE SPIDERS DONT WATCH THERE IS PLENTY OF THEM AS I HATE THE THINGS AND WHAT MADE ME LAUGH AT THE END NO SPIDERS WERE HURT DURING THE MAKING ME I WOULD OF STAMPED ON THEM AND HOOVERED THEM UP LOL NOT FOR SMALL KIDS OK FOR ADULTS VERY GOOD FILM
I remember previews for this from when I was a kid- mainly the one showing John Goodman with bug killer on his back while dressed in coveralls, and stepping on what looked like a tarantula. I absolutely HATE spiders, so I think this would be a good horror for me in the sense that judging by the date, it can't be too serious.
It just kind of flew past me. If you love spiders, it'll thrill you, if you hate spiders, it'll scare you but if you're indifferent, there's really not much to hold onto. By no means terrible- the acting is fine and there are some good lines, but the script on the whole is so painfully mediocre. They certainly didn't make enough out of an idea with potential...
Glad i don't mind spiders elseb i would have hated this film, was just a kid when i was taken to the cinema to see this and i remember throwing my drink over the poor person sat next to me when it made me jump
I try to concer my fears streat up but can't get past the jungle scenes in this film! I seldom shy away from seeing spiders in films beacuse trantulas don't bother me to look at but these things in this flick NNnnnnoooooo way Uh Uh can't do it
This movie seriously bring about a phobia! If you are even slightly scared of spiders, this one will get to ya. They are small, and when brought to life in a story by humans, they are savage!
Possibly made everyone whos watched it not want to go in the shower, or at least check for spiders first. Same with the toilet check before use, haha. This is a brilliant film as the spiders werent that big so believeable that poisionous spiders could do this and the fact a lot of people are scared of spiders anyway.
I felt that the cast was just wrong for this title. This is the kind of story you don't mind watching when you have nothing to do, but the expectation raised by the cast just leaves you disappointed. I only recommend this to die-hard fans of the genre.
An atmospheric opening sequence set in remote jungles sets this film off to a good start, but unfortunately the opening sequence is the only thing in this film worth seeing, as from then on it's all about as chilling as a Mickey Mouse adventure containing cartoon arachnids. The characters and situations are unoriginal and comedic, and the whole thing has the feel of a Saturday morning sitcom rather than a horror film.
For a start, the plot is just complete gibberish. A creature the size of the biggest tarantulas in the world mating with a tiny house spider? It's like expecting us to believe that a domestic tabby could somehow mate with a Siberian tiger! And the spiders are just rubbery Z-movie monsters. Can you believe that something as big and heavy as a giant tarantula can leap through the air and dangle on strands of web? Even a scientist's pet tarantula seems to have somehow built a cobweb. How clueless do the makers of this film think people are? All through the movie spiders are stamped on, scalded, mutilated and killed in various other gratuitous and brutal ways.
If you're scared of spiders and don't know the first thing about them then I suppose it helps, but personally I found this film to be a collective representation of all the ignorance and irrational fear and hatred that surrounds large exotic arachnids. In fact this film made me feel like being physically sick.
I think this film is more like a Drama than it is a horror. I mean duh, when someone died, we saw the funeral etc--that is what made me sick and disturbed. Also it wasn't even scary, the music ruined it. And, I can't believe the death scenes involved old people, HOW SAD!!
One of the worst film ever made, this is pure crap.
