Things start to get more odd when he is able to shoot webs out of his abdomen. Then he loses control over the force with which he applies his increasingly deadly abilities, as well as his judgment to discern between criminals and jokesters.

    Lame, very lame. Didn't expect much out of it in the first place but the acting could have at least been consistent. I really hated the detective and his wife and wished they both had died in the end. Blah!

    Very well done low budget creature feature. The make up on the monster is awesome.

    This is really a crappy flick! I didn't expect too much of this flick since I knew it was a b-flick.. but anyhow, this flick was definitely not worth watching! Avoid!!!
