Movie Review: A Multitude Of Tiny Fangs To Invenomate You...
Summary: 4 Stars
Our story opens w/ two guys in Ecuador trying to get a cargo-plane full of coffee back to the states. These two would-be coffee bean barons are played by Howard Hesseman (Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP) and Tom Atkins (The Fog, Halloween 3, Maniac Cop, Night Of The Creeps). They end up smuggling 3 men out of the country in exchange for cash to pay off the Ecuadorian military. What the pair doesn't know is that they've also taken on a host of other tiny, deadly stow-aways! This leads to death and destruction when the venomous beasties bite everyone on board. The plane crashes in the vicinity of a small american town. The "deadly cargo" is unleashed, and panic ensues when the local yay-hoos start biting the dust. Claude Akins (The Curse, "The Night Stalker", Monster In The Closet) is in charge of the fire dept. and Pat Hingle (Commissioner Gordon from Tim Burton's Batman movies) is the town doctor. Together, they must find a way to stop the onslaught of thousands of fuzzy feet! TARANTULAS: THE DEADLY CARGO is another 70s made-for-tv-movie that remains watchable to me, but then I'm a sucker for killer bug movies! While not as good as say, ARACHNOPHOBIA, KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS, CREEPY CRAWLERS, or PHASE 4 (the original 70s version), it is far superior to doglogs like THE SWARM any day! So, if you enjoy bugs that kill and the humans who must survive them, then T:TDC will certainly satisfy...
