    Another fiesta de la feces from Bill Rebane, director of the infamous Monster A Go-Go. The giant monster spiders (which take FOREVER to finally show up) look like something your kid would make for a grade 4 science project. Production values are oh-so-slightly better than Monster...( read more), but it's not nearly as much fun to watch. Mediocre-bad, not hilarious bad. Yawn....

    It's a dead heat as to what's more ridiculous-- the pseudo-science or the special effects. This movie exists as another bleary example of a cheesy horror flick shot in Zapruder-Vision. Alan "Skipper" Hale is your star here. Even with the bar set so low, you'll end up disappoin...( read more)ted.

    Does this movie qualify in the "So Bad It's Good" category? It's certainly bad enough to, but not quite good enough to.
    For being made with such a low budget, the spider looks pretty cool (though abviously fake).'However the laughable acting and ridiculous story make this film t...( read more)oo funny that you can't ever be scared really.
    The acting isn't terrible. In fact if they were in a movie that didn't have giant spiders in it then most of it would have been pretty good.
    My real problem with it was towards the end of the movie when it's night time it's hard to see which characters are which and what's going on. Especially the way HULU edited the movie for content. It just seemed like they wanted to just end the movie finally, so it's hard to tell what happened.
    If you like old B monster movies then you'll get a kick out of this movie, but there are other B movies that have been done so much better and star other cast members from GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.

    "I'm sorry I missed the sermon. What was it about?"
    "Sin."
    "What did the minister say about it?"
    "He was against it."

    First off I HATE spides! Hokey, boring, draggy, maybe just right down silly would describe this. You have to watch 45 minutes just to see a giant spider! It looks like some parade float gone wrong! You can see the microphone at the bottom of the picture when the scientists are ta...( read more)lking to the sheriff. The sheriff was Skipper on Gilligan's Isle and that is the best part of this movie.

    just awful, hate to admit I'm from Wisconsin where this was filmed, just terrible

    an update of a 50's movie that is so much better
