Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

O2D I watched this twice and I'm still not really sure what to think of it.The over all story isn't so bad but it's overshadowed by the horrible acting and dialogue.It's typical 50's giant bug fare.Middle-aged people playing teenagers, lame special effects and lots of things that don't make sense.A girl's dad is missing and instead of calling the police she asks the boy who likes her to help her find him.On top of that she asks him to borrow his friend's car.The friend can't be a day under 45 yet he's in high school with them.So they go out and immediately find his wrecked truck.There's some type of weird rope going from a tree to the other side of the road and they touch it and can't figure out what it is.Most importantly, they never say it's sticky.Then they decide to go into the cave that has a big sign saying to keep out.Plus they talk about all the stories they have heard about it.Yet they have no fear and just go right in.They fall(jump actually) into a giant spider web and can't figure out what it is.But they notice it's very sticky like the rope on the road.Ugh.And that's just the first few minutes.Watch at your own risk.

SnoopyStyle Jack Flynn is attacked while driving home. His teenage daughter Carol and her boyfriend Mike go searching for him and find a giant spider in a cave. The Sheriff doesn't believe them. Their teacher Kingman is able to convince him to send a posse. Armed with DDT, they are able to kill the giant spider. They bring the spider back to town and store it in the high school gym. As the kids practice rock and roll, the spider revives and terrorizes the town. Meanwhile Carol and Mike go back to the cave to find her lost bracelet.It's a campy 50s creature feature. The giant spider is a fun visual. The acting is bad. The story is simplistic which actually helps. I certainly don't want too many explanations about giant spiders. That can't be any good. It's a B-movie with a few fun unintentional silliness.

verbusen This movie is atrocious. I knew what I was getting into and that Bert I Gordon did it. I liked his giant man movies, and the Mystery Science Theater treatment was very very funny with them. Here though, that is the only thing going good for this film. I had to pause it at least 5 times and go off to do other things like fall asleep. This movie is horrible. I love horrible bad movies and maybe I'm just not in the mood today to watch a horrible 50's drive in s movie, but this movie has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, it really was just thrown together for a quick drive in theater buck. There are no jokes, there are no characters you actually like (even the monster sucks), and the movie is full of obvious reality flaws! SPOILERS. OK most of this film is made in a "cave" except it's well lit, where is the light coming from? The town's long distance phone lines are down, OK it's the 50's where are the radios at? I mean where are the ham radios at? Hey lets take the giant spider to the high school? Huh? Lets blow up the cave and THEN find out there are people inside it when we look at the car outside the cave? Huh? Lets have the spider go to the teachers house specifically and terrorize his wife and kid, huh? Lets have the spider destroy a just married couple's fun, and a toddler's in the road, huh? None of those kids at the high school get eaten either, oh my God this movie is horrible! We can't fix the phone lines and have no radios but lets rig the power lines to zap the spider? HUH? 2 or 3 stars if you watch the MST3K version, even they weren't smart enough to joke about the lack of light thing, they were coasting on this episode, 0 stars if you watch it without the laugh track. Atrocious.

MartianOctocretr5 Loved this one. It's strictly bush league in its execution, but it's fun. Anybody who gets a kick out of a good "giant bug" flick right out of the golden age of drive-in's will find this entertaining."Earth" locks horns in combat with a mutated spider. Apparently, everybody from Earth except for a little town was on vacation, because about a dozen folks represent Earth in this titanic struggle. The monster emerges from a stalactite/stalagmite cave (which looks suspiciously like a tour path in Carlsbad Caverns), after getting super-sized in a way that's never quite explained. It wants to invite some people for dinner, but doesn't tell them who's on the menu. Unintentionally silly scenes are numerous, but the two best are: 1) when the hero teen couple get caught in the giant "gluey" spider web. They play around on some ropes that look like one of those jungle-gym things at a fast food restaurant. Then they casually climb down from this deadly hazard. Real "sticky." 2) is utterly priceless: the captured lethal spider is kept for analysis, where else, but in a high school auditorium (no, I'm not kidding). It's a laugh riot when hip musicians rehearse for a sock hop, poodle-skirted groupies dance along, and nobody seems very concerned that a huge hairy tarantula is dozing about ten feet away. You'll never guess what happens next. By the way, look for Wally (Ozzie & Harriet) and Mr. Ziffle (Green Acres) in this scene.You have to give the actors credit; keeping a straight face had to be difficult. Most everybody genuinely shows enthusiasm in their roles, and makes the most of this wacky story. Special effects are so hokey you have to laugh. I love how the spider somehow changes size to neatly fit whatever situation it's in at the moment.A great giant-bug movie if you're in the mood for some nostalgic craziness.
