Movie Reviews of Kingdom Of The Spiders
Movie Review: Great Cult Entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars
A good B-movie/cult film always has certain elements that make it enjoyable. Kingdom of the Spiders even has a great B-movie title.Harkening back to the time when films like this were made at a fantastic rate, KOS is the cream of the crop. An actually quite intelligent movie that has good special effects for its time, this is very entertaining movie that doesn't cop out during its entire running time.
While William Shatner is known for giving outrageous and campy performances, e.g. T.J. Hooker, The Wrath of Khan (Khan! KHAN!!!), he gives the ultimate B-movie performance. The supporting cast is less capable, but being the name, Shatner entertains like he is supposed to.
The spiders are the real draw though, and they're actually quite well done, but nothing like the realistic spiders in a movie from today like Eight Legged Freaks.
Overall, this is highly entertaining shlock that will be sure to give you enjoyment. Also, the ending is brilliant.
Movie Review: Surprisingly fun, campy flick!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this movie on DVD for a "corney horror movie marathon" that my wife and I have every summer. We watched old late 60's to 70's horror flicks and laugh at the camp and corn. This movie was cheesy but it did have some scary moments as far as my wife was concerned!? She jumped and screamed three or four times and even I was in suspense a couple of times. Shatner is his usual self....over-the-top and grandiose, what can we say...Shatner being Shatner! Tiffany Bolling is really a cornball! She takes herself too seriously in this. It was interesting to see Marcy Rafferty, Shatner's wife at the time, in this movie, playing his sister-in-law. The end of the movie, phhhewww! Shocking! LOL...
Honestly, my wife and I had FUN watching this movie. It wasn't AS corney as I thought it would be. It was entertaining and definitely worth the cheap price of the DVD. But it for Halloween! Classic...
Movie Review: The SHAT!!! Fun & Cheesy B-Horror Film! OH RACK, SAVE ME!
Summary: 4 Stars
William Shatner as "Rack" & Tiffany Bolling as his love interest in this utterly laughable, fun, and cheesy B-horror film from the past. Shatner's over the top performance as Rack is worth the price of this DVD alone! (Just under a sawbuck!)The effects are quite UNSPECIAL as well as the acting from the supporting cast. The Shat, however, more than makes up for ANY marginal acting of the supporting cast.
After Shatner, the best performance in this fun stinker of a movie is "Bessie" the cow while being attacked by spiders in the very first scene. Bessie highly surpasses her owners acting performance and clearly OUTSHINES everyone but Rack in this film.
A great cheese-filled ending to the picture too!
If you like b-grade horror, you will certainly enjoy this "peice of SHAT" film!
Happy Watching!
Movie Review: GOODTIMES WITH RACK
Summary: 4 Stars
The quality of this DVD is suprisingly good, considering it's from Goodtimes Video. Like another reviewer stated, too bad it's fullframe.This is a entertaining movie. For the money, I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't get this. It's just a fun movie. There must be some reason this movie works and other movie with bigger budgets fail. I can just imagine the director gathering the cast and crew and telling them, look, I know we're not making Citizen Kane, but let's make a good movie. Something like that. The cast all give solid performances and seem to be having fun. A scene that is typical is when the sheriff tries to tell a woman that her husband is dead. He is unable with words, he grabs her in silence, hugs her, and the camera views them from the distance. I didn't expect that. Kinda moving.
Movie Review: Fairly decent B-grade horror flick--with some flaws (of course)
Summary: 4 Stars
Can you think of any movies of this type that don't have at least a few flaws? This one does, but it still manages to keep you entertained.
By far, the best actors in this nature-run-amok film are the tarantulas themselves. They were obviously trained for the picture; I remember reading somewhere (maybe it was in an encyclopedia) that tarantulas are the most intelligent members of the arachnid world and this movie really proves it!
A tarantula's bite is rarely fatal but I have to wonder if any of the human actors and actresses in this flick were bitten during the course of filming. Hmm...
