Movie Reviews of Spiders
Movie Review: Great B movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like these sort of giant critter movies, you'll like this one. "They" (you know who I'm talking about) inject alien DNA into a spider - it's quite funny because when the lead character Marcy finds out about the DNA experiment, she says "I knew it would be something like that". Yet, isn't it always! They get their hands on some alien DNA and the first thing they do with it is to start injecting it into everything, like funnel web spiders. Gosh, sounded like a good idea at the time! Our characters basically spend the rest of the movie fighting one spider after another - they get bigger every time. The spiders look exceptionally good due to the fact that they're real puppets - not CGI. There is some CGI in the movie, most notably a really fake looking explosion, but that only adds some B movie charm. The main attraction of this movie is definitely Marcy, who looks incredibly (...)fighting the giant spiders in her skin-tight tank top. Of course, they fall in a pool of water at one point. Yes this movie has it all! The characters are quite likable, and the action moves along fast enough to keep it interesting. The ending is just what you'd expect, with plenty of B movie cheesiness thrown in for good measure.All in all, I'd definitely recommend this movie to fans of the genre. It's a real throwback to the '50 and '60s movies - show people screaming, cut to giant monster approaching, etc. Lots of fun. The DVD is great - sharp, clear picture quality, 5.1 Dolby surround sound, and there's a nice 20 minute "making of" featurette as well.
Movie Review: TIME TRAVEL BACK TO THE FIFTIES
Summary: 5 Stars
Gary Jones should be commended for his faithfulness to those wonderful giant bug movies of the fifties, like "Tarantula" and "Them." In this underappreciated thriller, Jones gives us animatronic spiders that look as real as one could expect, and delivers an action packed, delightful thriller. Of course, the plot has holes, and there are some ridiculous "how come so and so did this?" Like, for instance LANA PARRILLA, the savvy and Siguourney Weaverish heroine, has her glasses knocked off, crushed, and there is no mention of how this girl can see so well. Sure, JOSH GREEN has to have his shirt come off so we can see that buff bod. (How in the world does anyone get shoulders that wide???). But who cares? I enjoyed the ride, and the guilty pleasure of watching giant spiders running amock. There is some clever lines and I liked the innocence and naivete of the actors. Parilla starts out pretty obnoxious, and continues to be so, but by the time she joins forces with Green, she's a knockout. Green is also more than just a hunk of meat; his soft-spoken innocence and his easy swagger are endearing and refreshing in a day of "super macho" men. And just when you think the movie is over, the ending explodes and it's pure mayhem and excitement thereon.I just loved this movie, because it was so much like those older gems, and it fulfilled those childhood fantasies of heroism and the good guy always wins!
Movie Review: Not bad at all
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of b-movies, don't believe the terrible reviews that other people have given this movie. For a low-budget, direct-to-video cheapie, this movie boasts great effects...I mean, honestly, when the spider gets to be its largest size it looks more realistic than what it did when it was smaller. It's really amazing. The movie's storyline is fast-paced, interesting, and suspenseful. It's not so much a horror movie...more like an episode of the X-Files...70% sci-fi, 30% horror. There are many tense scenes, such as the elevator shaft sequence, but the producers knew they weren't taking themselves seriously (which is a good thing). Much better than other recently released animal/monster movies such as Octopus and Crocodile. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.Movie Review: not that bad
