Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
sammy-stokes When I first saw this movie, it appeared to be engaging, but it quickly became a cross between SpiderMan and The Fly, and that cross was not incredibly engaging. As an animal lover, especially beagles, I was happy his dog escaped his wrath, however, even that pacifying concept presented by the writers is trite. I don't recommend this movie in any capacity where you have to pay to watch it. The only possible exception is where you are up extremely late, with or without company.The irony is, I love comic book stories, tragic and heroic. This one just flopped, period. Sorry, Dan Akroid, I love what you've done over your career, but this was, for lack of a better term, pooh.
Rautus Earth Vs The Spider is a remake of the 1958 film except instead of a huge Spider attacking people we get a cross between Spider-Man and The Fly, a Secuirty Guard named Quentin Kemmer (Devon Gummersall) is working for a lab and is obsessed with comic books especially the Aracnid Avenger. When a group of armed men come into the lab and steal some things he's fired from his job. He then injects himself with a Spider serum and soon he starts to get spider like powers (Like Spider-Man) except he shoots webs from his chest not wrists.Things start to happen though as he slowly starts changing into a Spider Monster, Quentin's neighbour Stephanie Lewis (Amelia Heinle) is curious why he's hiding himself in his apartment all day while Det. Insp. Jack Grillo (Dan Aykroyd) starts to go on a search for the Spider. Earth Vs The Spider is a good Television movie with some great Spider effects.
pikabot Me and my friend rented this movie in hopes that it would provide an hour's entertainment. And from the premise, this movie could have been good. Emphasis on could have been.Basic premise: Comic-book geek, working as a night-shift security guard at some sort of biotech lab sees his partner gunned down in front of him and impulsively injects himself with super-spider juice. he comes down with a fever, and when he recovers, he's got superpowers! yay, right? Wrong. his transformation into a spider continues progressing, and his behavior becomes more and more bestial. he considers himself a threat to everyone around him, and eventually winds up killing people. I don't know how it ended because I turned it off about 3/4 of the way into it.Frankly, it's amazing we lasted that long. We survived mostly by making fun of it relentlessly, but is really not much fun with this film as it lacks the outright ridiculousness of similarly poor movies such as Boa Vs. Python.The camera-work is poor, the acting is terrible, and the plot such a clichéd mess that even the old Captain America cartoons have trouble competing in terms of sheer lameness.if MST3K were still around, I'm sure they could make this comedic genius. Me, I just don't have the patience to sit through it.
joshlemli This may not be the best film ever, but the writing and direction manages to be fresh around every bend. You'd expect lots of dumb noise-swell scares, cheesy one-liners, etc, but you'll find none of that here. Good old fashioned horror is alive and well here, and although this movie isn't the most involved or beautiful film you'll ever see, give it a chance.The direction and cinematography is surprisingly good, and the transformation of the spider is done just right -- you don't see too much too soon, but just enough to keep it creepy and interesting. I really can't say enough about how this film avoided the pitfalls into which most big-budget movies stumble. Horror movies in particular, having made a big comeback in the last few years, suffer from cheap jump-out-at-you thrills, poor plot, and weak plot twists. This movie keeps it good and simple.My favorite part is that you can sympathize with all the characters, which is especially awesome with the "villian." Oh, and the spider looks FRIKKIN AWESOME. But just as a forewarning, the ending is a little disappointing.
