Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

GL84 Heading to a ski resort, a champion cross-country skiing team and the instructors on staff find the area overrun by gigantic spiders from a military experiment nearby and try to save their guests from the deadly, mutated creatures.Frankly, this here was quite the fun creature feature. What really helps this one here is the high-quality amount of cheesy action featured which runs pretty consistently in here, from the film's central premise of bringing spiders into the freezing environment depicted. The scenes of the creatures out in the snow, as the opening attack on the hunters out in the snowy wilderness, is quite fun for seeing the sight of a spider hunting in the middle of the woods makes for a remarkably cheesy time while setting up the rest pf he action here. The fun times of them stalking the straggle skiers out on the slops or he searching out in the cobwebs covered woods where they come across the cocooned bodies and are then chased around by the creature for some really enjoyable times, as well as offering the set-up for the first of several big action scenes with the spiders in here. There's plenty of fun action with the soldiers in the facility trying to take out the spiders only to be completely wiped out by the surprise ambushes dragging them away while being imperious to gunfire and their other tactics which fail to stop them, and there's the really big fun of the attack on the resort here which is the definite highlight piece of the film. Starting with the early attacks on the skiers out on the lift and going through the rather fun swarming done on the guests leading to the race to get inside and barricade as well as the skiers attempt to get to safety inside the bus this one has plenty of highly enjoyable action in this sequence before the real fun of the creatures breaking through the resort for a fine scene overall. Even the finale offers plenty of fun with the race down the slopes into the trap where they finally defeat the creatures in rather unique methods. As ell as the fact that all of this action doles out some bloody kills, these here are the positive points to hold out over the negatives. The biggest factor here is the usually atrocious CGI featured throughout here, which is among the absolute worst done in the genre here with a never-ending assortment of spider-like blobs hurled across the screen that come off utterly laughable and never once features anything remotely spider-ish about the creatures as there's the new-found feature of a glossy-glass-like appearance which no real spider displays along with the other features here of special chances, interacting failures and unconvincing notions that run rampant throughout the film. As well, there's also the fact that there's no real purpose here why they're trying to capture it again for their studies as that continually puts them at risk because of the clichéd motives of creating them for creating them which is wholly ridiculous and doesn't make sense. These here are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

bkoganbing The federal government is at it again in Ice Spiders. In the mountains of Utah where only a few skiers are having a great old time at a resort, our government has a big old giant laboratory where scientists Vanessa Williams and David Milbern have been breeding some ancient giant spiders with a technique that was first mentioned in Jurassic Park. It's also a plot idea that was used in the Lou Diamond Phillips movie Bats where Milbern goes as batty as the scientist who created those creatures in that film. Your tax dollars at work.The hunters and the skiers are being chewed up, stored and eaten by these critters, the usual mayhem that giant anythings cause among the human population in these films. The guy who takes it the most seriously is ski instructor Patrick Muldoon, once a US Olympic hopeful. He and Vanessa see eye to eye on the giant spiders and each other of course.I guess the idea was breed these things and then loose them on North Korea or Iran or any other country that was giving us problems. As is usual in these films, the critters get out of hand. The whole cast walks around with embarrassed looks on their faces.Vanessa Williams lost her Miss America crown over those embarrassing nude pictures. She looks more embarrassed in this film than those snapshots of long ago ever caused.And well she should.

MrsJazzAirForceWife I still can not believe I sat and wasted an hour and a half of my time to actually sit through this awful movie. What a waste of time. Bad acting, bad cg, this movie reminds me of a class project for the AV club. The scene with the two hunters at the very beginning should have tipped me off. It was more than predictable. Two buddies hunting, they spot the trophy-to-be, one sees the giant spider, and they run around screaming. While one of them tries to kill the spider with a cross bow. Then there was the little fact that they've designed the spider to have two eyes. Forgive me for paying attention in school, but I'm pretty sure most species of spiders have 8 eyes. If you chose to sit through this one, more power to you. Good luck making it to the credits.

ZRambeau Sometimes movies are made to cater to a certain audience. This movie aimed to please burnt out ski bums. The CG was atrocious, the acting was worse. That being said, there were parts of the movie that I had to rewind and watch again, not because it was good but because truly bad movies are funny in their own sad way. The best part of this film was the short but true commentary on pushy ski instructors, (Takes place in the first fifteen minutes or so) Don't watch this if you want gore. Don't watch this if you want suspense. And definitely don't watch this if you like movies like arachnophobia, you will be completely disgusted, and not in a good way. My girlfriend hates spiders, emphasis on hates. She bravely watched the opening five minutes of the film and found She wasn't once scared or creeped out. She finished the film and I quote, "What the hell was that?" A must see for any person who enjoys bad flicks.
