Like countless other slasher-type films, the humans aren’t as easy to root for as the bloodthirsty antagonist(s) – especially considering that they’re perpetually unprepared, unaware, unobservant, and slow. Go to Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com 04/17/2005

Shadow P 08/27/2024 A classic mutant spider movie! A great weekend watch See more 06/11/2017 For its time, and in general, it's a good and watchable giant spider movie. Acting is pretty good, and the score and atmosphere is also great. Overall, a great watch. See more 06/28/2014 I personally thought that director, Jack Sholder did a good job at this film. Sholder is also known for the sequel to Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Back. Good spider film. Never got the point of the worm/centipede creature things See more 06/26/2014 Pretty naff stuff,giant spider in the jungle. People doing stupid things to die. The effects are at least more practical than cgi See more 08/01/2013 The gore value in this giant spider horror is fine, but the story around it doesn't generate enough interest with some very dull characters on show. See more 12/11/2012 i met the director of this and told him i watched it, his response was "you didn't watch the whole thing did ya?" See more Read all reviews
