Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Claudio Carvalho When a meteor shower hits an old Soviet space station in the orbit of Earth, parts and debris crash into the New York subway tunnel near the Noble Street Station. The traffic controller Jason (Patrick Muldoon) sends his colleague Jimmy (Atanas Srebrev) to inspect the damage but soon he is found dead. The doctor finds a bite on his leg and eggs inside his body, and Jason takes one of them to ask his wife Rachel (Christa Campbell) to test in the laboratory where she works. When he goes with the subway security team to the location where Jimmy was found, they discover a nest of strong and carnivorous spiders. Meanwhile Col. Jenkins (William Hope) and the Russian scientist Dr. Darnoff (Pete Lee-Wilson) discuss the special breed of spiders genetically developed in the space with zero gravity that would build a powerful nest that would be used in military purpose. Further, they need the queen's egg that Jason gave to his wife. Then and he lies to the population telling that there is a deadly virus in the neighborhood where Jimmy was found and they hunt Jason and his family. When they recover the egg, Col. Jenkins put it in the nest to raise the queen and decides to execute everyone that is aware of the spiders. Will he succeed in his plan?"Spiders" is a film with a lame and stupid story from the beginning. How can the colonel lie and execute people in a democratic country the way he did? By the way, why execute people? Just to keep the spiders in secret? In a situation like that, why keep powered trails in the subway. The spider queen can resist to machine gun, bazooka, but a traffic operator is capable to contain the giant insect with a steel bar. The corny conclusion with husband and wife forgetting the divorce is also awful. The cinematography and the effects are reasonable but the acting is terrible. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Aranhas" ("Spiders")

Derek Childs (totalovrdose) Star Wars; Avatar; Life of Pi; these films and more have spoiled viewers with their gorgeous visuals and superb special effects to such an extent, that when a B-grade film like Spiders is released, the criticism bestowed upon the visuals is often incredibly painful.Where once there were snakes on a plane, the premise of this feature begins with spiders on a space station. After a chunk of rock slams into the station and comes to a stop in the middle of a New York subway, a group of spiders, which quickly start to exponentially grow, hitch a ride, only to eventually discover how nice humans taste.From the moment the subway comes into the story, the feature begins to immediately go somewhat downhill, the initial conversations being about as lively as a grave. The acting is never exactly fantastic, but then neither is the dialogue the talent are made to read, however there are occasions where you will be delightfully surprised.To have a man who works at a train station become the lead protagonist seems like an odd choice in an action horror film, and it is further strange that the military, led by William Hope (Aliens, XXX, the Detonator) who quickly become involved, are virtually powerless to stop the over-large creepy crawlies; assault rifles; miniguns; rocket launchers; none of it measures up to machinery, that on occasion seems to make short work of these abominations.The reasons for attempting to keep the spiders alive, the way the city empties so quickly, among a number of other occurrences, does not always make a wealth of sense, and the lack of any real violence does not help matters either. Many horror films paved with blood I find to be overrated, but in this film, a dash of arterial red here and there might have made all the difference to accentuate the threat to human life.What is most entertaining about this film however, believe it or not, are the effects. The way the spiders interact with the environment, whether they are knocking items out of the way or moving across surfaces, these little details make all the difference. None of it mind you, has the potential of larger budgeted films, but with this in mind, the developers do a brilliant job with what they have.I recommend borrowing the film if you can, and if you choose to buy, make sure it's under ten dollars. The film can be cheesy, and on occasion dull, but the action scenes, especially towards the end, are worth sitting through.

trashgang Heavily promoted in our areas and sold for a few Euro's even on 3D Blu Ray I picked this up even as I knew that this was going to be bad. On part of the 3D that really worked fine but the acting and the effects used that was something different.The effects used were all done by CGI, for some effects I can understand the use of it but here all effects were CGI, even the rats were CGI. But you keep watching this flick even as you know that it is going to be cheesy and predictable. And after a while you get used of the CGI but the biggest problem here is the acting. And again Christa Campbell (Rachel) is the worst to see here in Spiders. The way she's looking sometimes gave me the feeling that she was reading her lines. She sometimes was looking stunned to the camera. Just like being drugged or something. And it annoyed me a lot. But overall this is pure entertaining and it works, it never was boring because the action was there from the first minute but face it, only for the lovers of cheesy flicks and I have to disappoint the Kleenex boys, Christa her clothes stay on this time...Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

brandonsullivan91 Bad acting in a story filled with plot problems, it moves slowly and didn't even scare my wife who is terrified of spiders (which was my main motivation for renting it). The only redeeming quality was that it was actually so bad that we laughed to the point of tears at a couple spots. My favorite moment in the movie is when the main character is surrounded by a s.w.a.t. team and slowly backs away and then successfully runs away without one soldier managing to fire a single shot. The other moment I enjoyed was when the main character fights the mother spider with his fists after tanks, machine guns, and missiles failed to do any damage...sure that makes sense. This movie really doesn't deserve ten lines or ten minutes of your time, but alas my displeasure desires to have a voice.
