Arachnophobia- Eight legs, two fangs and an attitude.


While on a science expedition to Venezuela a researcher is killed by a massive deadly spider. When the others find his body they send it back to his home town not knowing the spider hitched a rider in the coffin. When he gets home they find his body completely drained of blood. The spider escapes unseen and makes its way to a small farm were a family is moving in and takes refuge in the barn were it mates with a small house spider. Now there are thousands small house spiders with poison capable of killing people in seconds invading this small town. Now its up to a doctor who everyone believes is causing the mysterious deaths around town, his rival doctor and a exterminator to save the town. But will they be able to save themselves?
This movie was one of the first horror movies I have ever watched. It scared me as a kid especially because the day before a spider bit me when i was under my grandmas deck. But now that I have seen some truly terrifying horror movies this movie has lost its edge. But don't get me wrong it still scares me with the thought of there being thousands of little spiders that can kill you almost instantly. This movie doesn't have very much special effects, they use real spiders and the only time they really use props or special effects is for the big spiders, the researchers blood deprived body and the fire in the doctors basement. so this movie disappointed me in that department and the acting is half bad but it's not the greatest so i give this movie 3 out of 5 blood stains(since it was one of my childhood favorites and since i still watch it at times).
